Comments on: yikes! lesbians in tampa bay! http://sticksoffire.com/2008/04/09/yikes-lesbians-in-tampa-bay/ A very loose interpretation of the news and happenings in and around Tampa Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:02:10 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Clyde http://sticksoffire.com/2008/04/09/yikes-lesbians-in-tampa-bay/comment-page-1/#comment-196942 Clyde Thu, 10 Apr 2008 01:19:14 +0000 http://www.tampais.com/2008/04/09/yikes-lesbians-in-tampa-bay/#comment-196942 This is just the most recent example of strange Tribune lead stories. I often wonder what goes on in the meetings where they decide on the front page stories. Maybe I just live in a different universe. But keep in mind - in Florida cranking up the homophobes is good business whether you're in politics or the newspaper business. This is just the most recent example of strange Tribune lead stories.

If they didn't like the name or content of the article, why did they read it? I don't really care for sports so i skip that whole section. If there is a story on the front page, and you don't particulary care for it, Turn to page 2. Thanks for your funny but oh so true responses. I too have no tolerance for narrow minded ignorant people. Tommy:

Sure! This is the 2nd largest gathering of Lesbians in the country besides the Dinah Shore Golf Classic(who knew??). Did it need to be on the Front Page? I dont think so...but so be it. Was it news?

I'm sure there were plenty of heterosexual men and women as well as kids that attended the event. The one thing they have in common is that they are Women's basketball fans. Will we see headlines for the super bowl such as " Super Bowl big draw for Heterosexual Men"? personally I thought the stories were a little much and I have no problem with a person’s sexual orientation. why not have in the headline “Final Four is a big draw for basketball fans”? what does a fan’s sexual orientation have anything to do with a sporting event?
