G.R.i.D. (Get Rich in Dallas)

This is a fairly interesting piece from a little beyond our backyard. The Galveston Daily News published a story about a gay couple only to be met with ignorant dismay by offended readers (shocker) that was met with this incredible response. Here’s a sample:

---

I am sorry many readers were offended. I understand that, in the eyes of many, we may have overdone the story, and maybe that is so.

However, I am not sorry we published the story.
…
But I am sick at heart and shaken over the malice I’ve experienced this week, wave on wave, pure and hard as diamonds.

Normally, we live in a peaceful corner of the world, and it’s rare here to see hate wearing no mask. But that is the way I will remember this Thanksgiving.

And then I was appropriately entertained by Queerty’s response.

Thank you Galveston Daily News and editor Dolph Tillotson. Yer now on the hero list.
