But that doesn't stop the folks at Local Planet Weekly from issuing a warning: "(W)hen you fuck with our ideas, we're going to go psycho on your ass."

The column was immediately posted on at least 20 Web sites, and the story was then picked up by gay newspapers and received a mention in Hotline, a popular inside-the-beltway political fixation. Now even mainstream local papers like the Sun-Sentinel appear to be closing in.
