I am gay. I'm not a journalist. The ad contract with King Southern Bank has <i>never</i> impacted our coverage of Jim King or Katie King. Reference: Everything I've ever written. I've known Jim King quite a while. As have other prominent local gay people. And he's had life-long gay friends. No one I've ever spoken with - even his enemies - think he's a homophobe. Suspected of being involved in the Herndon mailer? Yes. But merely suspected. It's interesting that David Daley and one other employee of the Courier-Journal have taken it upon themselves to trash me about town, accusing me of being paid off by Jim King. Oh, right, I’m soooo paid off by Jim King.
