[PageOneQ]

The Virginia delegation cancelled an order of a publication it planned to hand out to visitors at the upcoming Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, because it included a six-page section for gays and lesbians, KSTP reported.

150 copies of the "Secrets of the City" guide, printed by The Rake, were ordered by the campaign for Virginia Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling to hand out to delegates as gifts on arrival at the convention, which starts on September 1.

1. It's OK--they can still ask Larry Craig.

He knows a lot of secrets of the city.

2. LOL! Does it include the airport?

After all, it should cater to those who did a special order.

;-)

3. I hope

The Daily Show does their show in the bathroom of the airport.

4. Would these good folks have been tempted into checking out said gay info?

Quite possibly. Best not take any chances!

5. The "Wide Stance Pages"

always get those guys revved up.

6. Geez! The Democrats are Way Kinder, Way More Tolerant, and Way Better.

Republicans Suck. Amazing that they would cancel.

7. Can we dispense with the cheap jokes at gay people's expense? (nt)

8. I have to agree... the posters were being 'cute'

In reality, the GOP just cut out the GLBT (in or out) delegates and others.


THAT is the issue.

10. Thank you

I took no real offense - though I think this is a far more serious issue than some of the responses implied. :hi:

9. No offense, but I don't feel offended or expended at all

and I do feel the need to hand the GOP's crap right back to them. Lord knows they've handed me and mine enough. The goopers made such a big deal out of it. Let the albatross stink around their necks. Just sayin', not flamin'.

[oxymoron]

11. I am not offended either.

But I don't feel compelled to stoop to the other side's level.

12. Oh heaven forbid that their pure pink porcine fingers

might ever come into contact with the gay word on the printed page !

gasp.
