I received a voicemail message the other day from a nice lady who took exception to the Free Press running a few photos of the Pride Parade. It seems, according to the caller, that we're pushing that too much. She went on to inform me that she would no longer be picking up the Free Press.
That's her prerogative.
I'm always astounded when i receive such calls. I keep thinking that we're progressing as a society. But, I suppose, these things take time.
We cover the Pride Parade because it's an event in our community. To choose not to cover it because it might offend some people, or even worse, because we find it distasteful, would be doing an even greater disservice to our readers.
