Wardle, Lisa. "New details emerge in recent Gay-bashing attacks on Capitol Hill." Seattle Gay News. Vol. 35, Issue 26. 29 June 2007. Web. 22 Sept. 2011.
The article is about two separate but seemingly connected attacks on gays. The first was at a Jack-in-the-Box drive-thru in Seattle and the other was near a Capitol Hill gay bar. Although the authorities believe the attacks may be connected, the victims disagree.
Wardle's intent seemed to be updating the readers of Seattle Gay News and nothing more. Wardle states the facts but also uses emotional appeals and there is obvious bias. Clearly as this is from a gay newspaper, there is undoubtedly bias on the subject. There are no fallacies however.
This article was moving and really connected with the readers on a sympathetic level. I do feel strongly about gay bashing. I find it wrong and inhumane, but I don't think this would be a great topic to continue with. It's extremely difficult to find good, usable information. However, if anyone could find info, it would be an interesting and most definitely controversial topic to cover.
