San Diego Gay and Lesbian News, against Gay and Lesbian Times
Mr. Bauder, I have scanned these comments and I do not believe you have addressed your usage of the strange and offensive term "self-professed gay." This is highly insulting and below professional journalism standards. One would never see such a phrase in a respectable news publication. This information was extraneous anyway since you mention Mr. DeMaio as the boyfriend of Mr. Hale. The term "boyfriend" is not used to describe the platonic friendship between two men, so Mr. DeMaio would obviously be gay. I'm sure some would dismiss this as petty squabbling over semantics, but these nuances are important if a writer wants to avoid sounding biased. FYI, the appropriate terminology, if required, would be "openly gay." I take no issue with the rest of the article though. Thanks for reading.— June 25, 2010 8:27 p.m.
