@chrisgeidner what exactly is "stylistically" wrong with this? the lede? -
@gavin_stone___
@chrisgeidner is it that it doesn't even use the word trans or transgender and talks about the gay community instead? -
@CuratedTV @gavin_stone___ By calling it "gay" in hed, lede, & some descriptions, it completely misstates what's going on & being sought. -
@CuratedTV @gavin_stone___ Suggesting that what happened in Houston was a "gay" vote deceives readers — as even NYT's reporting showed.
