Sounds Like Homophone

Toronto Mayor is again getting it from all sides (pun intended) for his announcement that he will not attend the city's Gay Pride Parade for the second year in a row.

But if Rob Ford is horrible and evil for not attending the parade, what should be said of all the media outlets that don't show images from the parade? Sure they show a few carefully chosen images to make the Pride seem as vanilla and harmless as possible. They never show images like this one.

Why won't the media show these images? They can't argue the images are obscene, since these images come from a public event which they support. So do they believe gay culture is wrong? Shameful? And while Rob Ford has refused to go to the parade for only two years, they've refused to show accurate images of the parade for over thirty years.

Shouldn't they condemn themselves?
