A quick note sent the journal and the editor this morning:

I must say that as a gay man I find it quite ironic that Ms. Gehring should recommend going to a tolerance art show after using such intolerant language language in the preceding article.

Not only should she be ashamed of using such comments, but the editor should also be ashamed of allowing such comments to appear in print.

GLAAD's telephone numbers are (323) 933-2240 for the Los Angeles office and (212) 629-3322 for the New York office or alternatively you can call The Center on Halsted at 773.472.6469 and they will be able to direct you a sensitivity training group.

To me, being tolerant means being tolerant of people even when they say stupid things and not trying to get them in trouble with their bosses. Of course, I'm not gay either so I don't know how it feels to get picked on for that. But I do feel I would have made a FABULOUS gay man!
