Comments on: 3 gay nominees held up in Senate http://www.washingtonblade.com/2010/08/12/3-gay-nominees-held-up-in-senate/ the gay community's news source Sun, 19 May 2013 04:30:32 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mark Ciavola http://www.washingtonblade.com/2010/08/12/3-gay-nominees-held-up-in-senate/#comment-2481 Mark Ciavola Fri, 13 Aug 2010 18:11:43 +0000 http://www.washingtonblade.com/?p=10859#comment-2481 If, as you say, “observers don’t suspect anti-gay bias as a factor preventing a vote,” why is the title of this piece, “3 gay nominees held up in Senate?”

Why is this even a story, if there’s no anti-gay bias involved?

Why isn’t the story, “74 nominees await confirmation in the Senate,” with a small mention that 3 happen to be gay?

And I love the ending! “Oh no, the 3 gays won’t get confirmed if Republicans take over!”

Awful.
