i think it is quality journalism because it is very insightful and fair. It puts into context the issue, neither opposes or endorses any causes, and states the facts accurately instead of relying on innuendos and gossip from opponents or proponents who have an inherent interest in the outcome. I am a firm believer that this is america. where would we be if everyone was looking in each others back window. i am especially enthused with this article because as i read it, between the lines, not small print, leave these people alone, if you are gay, so be it, if you are not gay, why does it bother you if someone else is gay. mind your business, if you will.
