Update on bigotry...
I just happened upon a follow up article on that couple that was harassed for having a rainbow flag outside their Inn, because the local yokels percieved it to be about "teh scary gays!!" I think the link may be another reg-link, so here is just a sample of the article (acquired from Ed Brayton):
"We're getting 200 e-mails a day," J.R. says.
To give financial support to the Lakeway for standing its ground, people out of the area are calling up to rent rooms by credit card with no intention of spending the night.
The southwest chapter of the Kansas Equality Coalition recently booked the Lakeway as the site of their next monthly meeting.
Then there are the flags.
People are sending rainbow flags from around the world.
That way, the Knights will never run out of them.
"I'm never taking it down," J.R. said.
It provides me a little hope to know that not everyone in this world is a raving moron and/or asshole.
