There was also that review of the new Tom Cruise movie...That should count, too...
Washington Post ombudsman, Michael Getler is getting complaints that the WaPo is going all-gay, all-day:
Last week's mail also brought complaints from a few readers that The Post's coverage of gays and gay issues is excessive, compared with other social issues, and runs throughout the paper. Some said they feel The Post has an "agenda" on the subject.
On Nov. 18, a divided Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts ruled that same-sex civil marriages were legal under that state's constitution. That was a big story and it generated dozens of news articles and opinion pieces. But, for example, readers noted that there were at least five articles on gays in last Sunday's paper: one in the TV Week section about gay characters gaining popularity on television, an Arts piece on "gay art," articles in the Outlook section and Book World, and an editorial about the 10th anniversary of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. One reader said he came away "with a combined feeling of disbelief and anger" at the number of articles.
On Wednesday, a front-page story reported on linguists being discharged from the Defense Language Institute because they are gay. The front page of Style reported on a 7-year-old being reprimanded in a Louisiana school because he had explained to another child that his mother was gay, and the Metro section reported on a meeting with military veterans who were gay activists. One reader said that when he opened the paper he "was not sure whether it was The Post or the Blade," a reference to the Washington Blade, a weekly newspaper for the city's gay community.
Next thing you know they'll be publishing articles about incest and polygamy and man-on-dog sex and....
It's a slippery slope, doncha know....
