I think this is good journalism because the objective nature of the story. It includes quotations from the protest group, the Supreme Court decision, the father of Matthew Snyder, and has examples of signs used by the protesters. The story omits one key detail -- that Matthew Snyder was not a homosexual -- but it gives a fair voice to all parties involved while, at the same time, breaking a news item. This is a good piece. I wouldn't recommend this story, though. I don't think it's incredibly written and it isn't quite as good as some of the other stories I've read about this issue. I didn't love the lede. I think it's missing a comma, and maybe it's just a computer formatting thing, but I don't get who Gigi Barnett is..?
