Blurb on the Special in Out Front
Such surface coverage barely touched the Colorado Springs gay lifestyle and what the reaction to it was. Nevertheless, it was not an anti-gay news story (indeed, gays came off quite well) and it did make the Colorado Springs area aware gays do exist, live, participate, and contribute to and in the city.
