These are yes/no facts. I haven't seen journalists dispute them.

I don't really care to dispute or prove them. I just think it's a little strange that the same folk who claim that homosexuals are vile creatures with absolutely no redeeming qualities will, in all seriousness, jump on something printed in a crappy little gay paper and run with it.

I don't believe most of the things I read in mainstream newspapers. Why should I believe something printed in this Dallas Voice rag?

I didn't see any google News articles from the Dallas daily paper. I doubt that the Dallas daily bothered to give the backstory on the man who sold (and possibly initiated) the sale.

I've gone to the regular Google search and am seeing what I can find. If you notice, I am going to several sources, not just one.

Here's the Washington Blade's take:

Hackers defend Gay Day
Creative computer experts leave a distinctive mark on a Web site opposing Gay Day at ballpark in Lone Star State
While gay computer geeks might not be the hottest in the dating pool, at least they know how to step up and defend Gay Day at a Texas ballpark.
GAY HACKERS damaged the site, according to a written statement issued by Rick Warden, the founder and operator of ProtestGayDay.com, the Web site circulating a petition to stop Gay Day. The event is scheduled to take place next Sunday, Sept. 14, at The Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, where the TEXAS RANGERS play.
“When Brothers and Sisters in Christ where [sic] signing the petition, by the hundreds, gay porno websites [sic] were loading up on the screen instead of their signatures,” Warden writes, apparently without the benefit of a good grammatical guide.
The site has since been fixed, though no one really knows if it really was gay hackers who did the damage. Warden seems convinced, however, that it was someone of the homosexual persuasion who tried to sabotage his effort.
But as Dish’s Latin teacher in Connecticut — Sister Nicotina of the Holy Smoke (I kid you not) — used to say, “Always consider the source, and then disregard the remarks.”
Along with his press release, Warden sent copies of e-mails he got on the site from people who support and oppose fixing what the hackers did.
“You’re getting your ignorance and childishness spewed right back into your face, no pun intended,” read one unsigned e-mail.
Regardless of this messy matter, Warden claims to love gay people.
“Although the sodomites put their filth in our unsuspecting faces, we still care enough about them to pray that they would get saved and delivered from the bondage of sodomy,” he writes.
Bondage and sodomy? Sounds like Dish’s kind of party!
