I am writing a complaint about The University Daily Kansan’s coverage of Pride Week as of far.
There seems to be sufficient coverage of Black Love this week. There also was a story about the Asian Festival this week. But where’s the story on Pride Week?
We had an event on Monday called the “Kiss In.” There was a photographer there, and it looked like she got some pretty good shots. But what I don’t understand is the photo the paper published. It was of two women hugging. It wasn’t of two guys kissing or even two guys hugging.
The event was a “Kiss In” not a “Hug In,” which was what the photo showed.
Two women hugging in today’s society is not controversial. It doesn’t put to light how heterocentric and homophobic our society is about two people of the same-sex sharing a kiss.
Why does the Kansan shy away from the LGBT community when it comes to issues like these?
