Pink Is the New Shame
hi, again – returning fan here. as always, love what you've done with the place. congrats to james on his star turn on ANTM, airkiss, airkiss, etc.
i wanted to bring this story to your attention: apparently the pink visitors' locker room at the iowa hawkeyes' stadium (my home state, no less) has come under fire, as it "perpetuates offensive stereotypes about women and homosexuality" as reported by espn.com.
i don't know how the woman who filed this complaint gets off connecting a pink locker rooms with homosexuals (her suggestion that there even IS a connection is more insulting than any supposed implied affront, if you ask me), but she should really keep her hands out of our pants and speak for herself.
anyway, that's all for me.
bestest,
buzz

I thought it was because pink is a non-agressive color, and you certainly don't want the away team to be any more aggressive. There's all kinds of science behind colors and their effect on mood.

Yeah, buzz, how could anyone connect the color pink to homosexuality? Just because the Nazis made homosexuals wear pink triangles, and pink is considered a "girly" or "weak" color, how could that imply anything about a locker room painted pink? Are you living under a rock?
