    Default Company essentially "shits" on gay Americans

    One of the nation's most prominent outdoor advertising companies said that it refused to rent billboard space in South Georgia to a gay and lesbian advocacy group because the proposed signs didn't meet "community standards".

    James Locke, general manager for Lamar Outdoor Advertising's operations in South Georgia, said he declined to sell ad space to the Atlanta-based Georgia Equality because of the wording on the signs.

    The billboards proposed by Georgia Equality feature images of professionals, such as a male firefighter and a female doctor, and include tag lines that read, "I protect you. And ... I am gay. We Are Your Neighbors."

    When asked twice to point out which words in the Georgia Equality billboard were objectionable, Locke would not identify any specific words.

    Similar messages are already being seen in eight counties throughout metro Atlanta, but are displayed on billboards owned by a different company.
