Bonnie, that is nuts! I have never heard anything like that advertised on the radio; it's so derogatory and exclusive. Unfortunately, this type of discrimination is legal in Cincinnati (the only city in the country that it would be)according to Article XII of Cincinnati's city charter. It denies gays and lesbians the right to legally pursue action against discrimination because of sexual orientation. In other words, in the city of Cincinnati, any person who is even perceived to be gay or lesbian can be fired from their job, evicted from rented housing, or refused service in a restaurant or other public place without any opportunity for legal recourse. If you are interested, you should check out the website for Citizens to Restore Fairness or come to a Xavier Gay-Straight Alliance meeting (Dorothy Day House: Thurs 7:30) which discusses these issues.

Jackie, Kristin, and I were discussing Pink Think project ideas on Wednesday and I think that we may focus on the dynamics of Pink Think in the entertainment industry. For example, actresses are often affectionately deemed "American's Sweetheart." What does that mean? Who is chosen and why? Is Pink Think influential in deciphering which female actresses are "loved by America"? This was only one of the possible routes that we discussed in addressing this topic. What do you think?
