Yikes! Gay nups in Trib
The Salt Lake Tribune is catching heat for profiling a gay couple in its weekly "How We Met" feature. This week it's Geoffrey and John who married in California before Prop 8 took effect.At least one reader has called to threaten to cancel his subscription (that puts us at 473) because of the outrage of the Trib's chronicling G and J's forbidden love. They met a a Jewish gay retreat, Geoffrey says:
We were introduced by a friend we both knew, whose name we will forever remember. It would be a lie if I said it wasn't love at first sight. . . .
We indulged in a variety of activities, such as learning more about gay history, swimming, karaoke, self defense and a massage class. I told him I was raised in the LDS Church but converted.Wait a minute, these guys are into karaoke? That's disgusting — cancel my subscription.

Heaven forbid people would actually choose for themselves the kind of media they read. You make it sound like they have no right to cancel their subscription because the newspaper is no longer providing the service that they would like. I guess in the socialist society we're becoming it's normal for the press to assert its views on the masses.
Give me a break! You can play deaf, dumb, and blind, but that won't help your cause. Gay people exist and have since the dawn of time. Rather than fight it out of a false sense of moral superiority, try being happy for those lucky enough to find love. Be tolerant and accepting and you'll be a happier person. Promise!
I am happy they have found a love that is so rare for many of us! I wish you all the best in your life and may it be filled with love and laughter!
For all those who are canceling their subscription because of there is a mention of Gay people! Welcome to the real world! You can hide under your rock but the truth is always out there!
How many loyal and faithful Salt Lake Tribune readers refuse to subscribe to the Deseret News because of its 'orientation.'
If a reader doesn't like the Tribune, they walk and take their money with them.
As long as the Trib can afford to shed paying readers...the publisher will keep on publishing in the same manner.
If enough readers vote with their subscription cash...the SL Trib publisher will stop printing content that is considered offensive to readers. All the more true if the paper starts losing advertisers.
It's all about the $$$.

That is so sweet...could you do a follow up next week about a transvestite couple? And how like yourself they share a common interest in strap-ons and innies?
And while your at it could you change the name of the SL Trib to the GLBT News, thats all you talk about anyways!
