Easy, there.

The Gideons are not an "in your face" type, insist-on-their-rights bunch of Gay/Lesbian liberal activists. They are an organization of businessmen, not associated with any particular denomination. They donate their time to spread the Gospel by giving away Bibles.

It's not news because they are upset and demanding anything. It's news because it's never happened before. If the answer is "no", nobody's going to go to court.

So, I had to inject the private property, business decision statement in before those inclined to incensed hysteria start whining about being persecuted and unfairly discriminated against.
