The Omaha World-Herald is lame

Target:
Facebook
Sponsored by: 

As of the January 15-21 issue of the Omaha Reader (article "Unfit or Print"), the Omaha World-Herald refuses to list gay marriages in their nuptials section for "business reasons".  This is an unreasonable, archaic and intolerant policy.  The World Herald, as an objective news source, should know better than to take part in what appears to be a form of moral pandering to their more cnservative readership.  Get with the program.  If I am way off base in this criticism of the OWH, then so be it.  I am sure that relatively little harm will be done by a simple petition.  In the meantime and until history might potentially absolve them of their reasoning for such a lame stance on an important social issue, let's give 'em hell.  Get with the times OWH!!!

FACEBOOK YOU SUCK!!!! Facebook’s owners are corrupt to the core!! What’s wrong with FACEBOOK here, this is Another Disgusting Example of their ties to Big Business Corruption and Crimes against Humanity!!”. REDICULOUS Bible Boasting Jesus Jumping HATE TWISTING FANATICS!! We Will All Distribute This Page to Big Media and Start Letting those “Useless Talking Heads on TV News” know what’s really worth reporting to the world… Useless they are because who knows if they even know about this? But if they did, they should Report it as we will also through our blogs.. Media consolidation has reduced localism and the diversity of voices that scream for help in cities and towns across the country. Many broadcasters place serving CORRUPT BIG BUSINESS and their own financial interest over serving the public interest. It’s time for them to care about the People and what we want to see and hear on their report segments or we will Boycott the lot of them and get our Reports from reliable sources.. .. FACEBOOK CAN BURN IN HELL!! Boycotting Them Now!!! We've got to eliminate Hate of the GLBT Community, and this is a wonderful way to get everyone more aware of the fact that we need everyone's help.. We will get everyone to grow up and stop Hating and I will be working until I die to do this. They say they are not Homophobic but they are worse, they are Big Fugly Homophobes fighting Against Dignity & Human Rights. Hey Just Like the Pope and All Conservative & Religious BIG BUSINESS AND MEDIA Fundamentalists. They're encouraging too many others to also be that way by denying us Equal/Civil Rights.. Who do they think they are "Jesus or God". Poor Jesus, He's flipping in his grave while poor God is Hopelessly Crying for us all.
