Hogg's parents and the anti-gun crusade organizers, immediately recognized the PR disaster to their propaganda campaign and denied it saying “Cameron and David love each other very much” but 'not to the point of going to the prom together.'
It reminded me of the early days of the illegal alien marches/rallies: Everywhere the aliens were waving flags but none of them waved American flags. Organizers (also seeing the propaganda disaster) began, at the start of future marches, giving them American flags and instructing them not show their own countries flags. Needless to say all those American flags were found thrown out in liter baskets or on the ground after the marches.
