What If A Conservative Wrote This?

"I have noticed that my local Albertsons tends to display the Froot Loops just a little more prominently than other stores in town. I've also peeked into my neighbors' iTunes lists and noticed that Broadway show tunes are disproportionately popular around here, but I try not to read too much into this sort of thing. And, yes, even though Rainbow Boulevard is way across town, those colorful arcs are undeniably brighter in the skies over my house after a good rain."...I hope 89121 doesn't come out ahead in that count, because if that happens, I fear more straights will be lured here — as they have been by every other gay mecca — by the practical charms and well-maintained properties. And if that happens, well, there goes the gayborhood. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/mar/30/gayzipcode-89121/
This story is about how many gay couples who have signed up for Nevada's domestic partnership law.
The writer, Steve Friess, who is gay, uses the same stereotypes that if a conservative used to describe gays, would be lambasted for being insensitive and bigoted by lumping all gays into stereotypes.
Las Vegas Sun show it's hypocrisy again.
