angelikittenThe IoS Pink List describes itself as a "celebration of the gay and lesbian community".
So why, oh why, does there need to be a Rogues' Gallery at the end of the list - one that is pretty much saying "these are bad gay people"? Believe me, I don't need to look at a list to be told about "bad gays", I really don't. Also, doing something that's pretty much the equivalent of pointing and laughing at people who identitfy as part of a group of people isn't my idea of celebrating that group either.
Moral of the story: If you don't think certain people should be on your list, you don't mention them. Simple as.
(PS: If you do decide to read the list, I would strongly advise not reading the comments to it - there are levels of fail in there that come out of nowhere, and I was honestly prepared for some epic fail.)
