Gay forum round-up
The mainstream news sources played the debate with straightforward accounts. Bill Richardson’s remarks that homosexuality is a choice received straightforward but in-depth reporting from most sources.
The use of quotes in the stories shows that yes, everyone supports civil unions and everyone wants to get rid of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell.’
Most reports noticed that the evening’s swoons were aimed at Dennis Kucinich, with the Washington Post calling the evening ‘a love fest’ for him.
The stories varied in the gay activists whom they quoted in articles. David Mixner addressed the forum in the Post and Matt Foreman of the Task Force was quoted in the LA Times.
