Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Exploit

The Indianapolis Star
Is like news media of now -
Any and all gay issues are
Safe sold as holier than thou.
Get 'em gay rights hot off the press,
All full of emotion and such.
Rev up the sales pitch more from less.
Whatever bleeds gay - Midas touch,
To sell the stuff in print, on air,
While gay rights still are in demand.
What did such news media care
Back when gay rights were not so grand?

News media will sell today,
Tiz fashionable to buy gay.
