THEY’RE HERE. THEY’RE QUEER. DEAL WITH IT.

I’m talking about the changes to the News that we told you about earlier. And, apparently, the News employees themselves. Today there will be two employee meetings to unveil the focus-grouped innovations to the paper (new Metro zones, plus a tabloid-size daily lifestyle/entertainment thingy). Everyone at the paper was asked to wear a t-shirt today that was given to them by management. They’re called “Live Better Here” t-shirts, to match their new slogan, I presume. A DMNer warns us:

The t-shirts are done in extremely loud colors, like fuschia, aquamarine, and lime green. As a public service announcement to all the conservative Republicans working downtown, if you’re driving past the corner of Young and Houston streets around 10 this morning, it is NOT a Gay Pride parade. It’s just a human rainbow of Morning News employees marching to the Hyatt [where the meetings will take place].
