Rainbow Flag

Rainbow Flag Creates Controversy. I'm particularly irritated by the so-called "reporter" who ran the article without even bothering to contact the bed-and-breakfast owner, and the "reporter"'s so-called "editor" who didn't bother to fact-check either. Both of them are an insult to the profession, and that's saying something with how low journalism has gotten in the past few years.

Via FilkerTom. And, yeah, if I ever end up in Kansas, I'm gonna try to stay at that B&B.

Also, see Towleroad, and the discussion in the comments which includes a request to send e-mails of suppoer, and this response from one of the B&B owners:

JR and I really appreciate all the support we have received from everybody. You are all awesome! :) Business has been really tough, your thoughts, words and selfless acts of giving are truly helping to ease the situation. Sitting down to a PILE of supportive emails at the end of a long hot day and actually being thanked for what we are doing and standing up for makes it all worth while.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Robin, JR and Anthony Knight
