oh great Goddess that article. I frothed in rage when I heard about it. (If it helps she is getting quite spectacularly scolded 'round the Internet by feminists and LGBTQI allies.)
I also complained and also put the complaint in my own words, however I received back a reply that had obviously been drafted as something to bat off the swamp of complaints they'd received about this, explaining that as I'm not directly affected they will not take it any further on my behalf.
If I was gay I could assert I WAS personally offended and argue with them, but as I can only apparently be disgusted by the article's misleading nature rather than it's prejudice against my own lifestyle, I can't take it any further. Hmm.
Someone tells a misguided joke on the BBC and they get suspended. Someone is outright offensive in the print media and yet they can bat off complaints like that. I realise there's a difference as the BBC is publicly owned and there are different regulators/laws/rules, but it's infuriating.
Also, I'm on Twitter but I've not taken to it at all, I hate limiting myself to 140 characters and I find the flood of updates a bit inane. I don't see it as an alternative to LJ, it's a completely different way of doing
