Um....what?
So here's this odd story, that seems pretty mundane.
But, the reason I clicked on it was that the headline on CNN's homepage was
"Gay students charged in robbery". And I thought to myself as I clicked,
"What makes it relevant that they are gay?"
And then I read the article. And it never mentions the sexuality of said
students, because it is irrelevant. And guess what? Looks like someone in
the headline writing position equated "cross-dressing" with "gay."
I don't even have the energy to write the letter in my head. So I'll just
grouse here for now.
Grrrr....
