While the now notorious article in the Daily Mail about Stephen Gately's death prompted a record 21,000 complaints to the British Press Complaints Commission, it's nice to see that the Irish papers are generally more enlightened and humane. There was a great editorial in the Sunday Tribune yesterday, and The Examiner has another today.

I haven't posted anything about Stephen Gately's sad passing because, certainly for Irish readers, it's everywhere. But this piece of crap in the Daily Mail is noteworthy. It gets worse towards the end. I won't bother pulling apart the "argument" for you, because I assume you can do that for yourself (though dressing it up as concern for younger gays is particularly despicable). And anyway, this guy does a great job of doing that, and this guy does an even better one.
Ironically, earlier in the week, I was thinking how great it was that even right-wing papers like the Mail were referring to Stephen's partner as his "husband" instead of his "civil partner", but it's only taken a few days for the Mail to show it's true colours.
UPDATE: I had to expand on my thoughts in the 'comments', if you care...
UPDATE: I note the Mail has changed the title of the article in an attempt to tone down the offense!

Well don't. If you want to read a comic, buy the Beano. If you want to read a newspaper, buy a newspaper.
