Times are changing. Gay marriage, while still controversial is a subject with rapid momentum in talks of legalization. The year 2011 saw many changes concerning gay rights. From the end of “Don’t ask, don’t tell” in the US military to the legalization of gay marriage in New York state, people are educating themselves on homosexual rights and the oppression it faces in society. The Gay-marriage bill will directly affect thousands of people in Washington state; it is for them and their supporters that this story should hold the top page.
Story one, while important nationwide, is sadly old news. Soldier misconduct in the Middle East is a story all too often heard, and though it’s important for change in soldier education it is nothing new.
A news outlet is not a gossip magazine The Kardashians and their constantly publicized reality woes don’t belong on the top of any serious news outlet. In no way do they affect the US or Washington states public wellbeing.
The story most likely to compete for top spot is Mitt Romney’s win in New Hampshire. However as it’s still early in the presidential race, it’s not having any immediate affect in legislation, story two does.
