Mary Ann,
I agree completely with your comment about attempting to be comprehensive and proportional in our news coverage. That's a huge and important challenge for any newspaper.
In terms of reporting on this particular event, is it relevant to point out that gay men having unprotected sex are at much higher risk for contracting AIDS? When I do a Google search on "AIDS epidemic in gay men," I get 266,000 hits. When I do a Google news search for recent coverage only, I get 96 options.
Perhaps you'd say any mention of homosexuality anywhere should again include this information that's been repeatedly reported during the past two or three decades, and that's certainly your right to think so. I'd say the reporting of a first-ever event in the Crossroads region is a different issue.
Little Blue Book, I'd agree with your point, if this were not the first event here. If this event had been staged for the past two decades, it certainly would be less newsworthy.
