“Twenty-five years ago artists Catherine King and Wayne Adams made the realization they would never have enough income to afford real estate so they made a fairly radical decision: they would build an island. Currently moored off the coast of Vancouver Island about 45 minutes by boat to the nearest town, their sprawling floating house is called Freedom Cove.”
Trash Journalism at the Daily Shit.
Today, The Daily Beast took an unprecedented but necessary step: We are removing an article from our site, “The Other Olympic Sport In Rio: Swiping.”
The Daily Beast does not do this lightly. As shared in our editor’s note earlier today, we initially thought swift removal of any identifying characteristics and better clarification of our intent was the adequate way to address this. Our initial reaction was that the entire removal of the piece was not necessary. We were wrong. We’re sorry.
Today we did not uphold a deep set of The Daily Beast’s values. These values—which include standing up to bullies and bigots, and specifically being a proudly, steadfastly supportive voice for LGBT people all over the world—are core to our commitment to journalism and to our commitment to serving our readers.
As a newsroom, we succeed together and we fail together, and this was a failure on The Daily Beast as a whole, not a single individual. The article was not intended to do harm or degrade members of the LGBT community, but intent doesn’t matter, impact does. Our hope is that removing an article that is in conflict with both our values and what we aspire to as journalists will demonstrate how seriously we take our error.
We were wrong. We will do better.
Gay olympian from ‘very homophobic’ Tonga, slams article outing gay olympic athletes using Grindr. “You fucking disgust me. Do you realize how many people’s lives you just ruined without any good reason but clickbait journalism? Seriously, fuck off with your str8 white male privilege preying on closeted people who can’t live in their truth yet. You ruin us.”

Les homos ont eu droit au mariage, ne peuvent-ils pas se cantonner au devoir conjugal plutôt que de réclamer le droit à l’amour, quand même ?
