There are quite a few dingbats in L.A.
Seven-same sex couples denied marriage licenses in Virginia for the third year in a row. Protest has become Valentine's Day tradition.
Aussie radio host John Laws has told a tribunal that he meant no offense to gays when he made comments about Carson Kressley back in 2004. What were his comments? "Who is this pompous little pansy prig who was strutting around everywhere yesterday, telling Australian blokes how how to wear their pocket square, as he called it? That's poofspeak for handkerchief ... Who is he? He might be famous in certain circles, circles being the operative word ... What the hell does a pillow-biter know about judging girls? They should have a few truckies down there, or me."
The University of Florida Gainesville may soon be home to "gay, bisexual, and progressive" fraternity Delta Lambda Phi.

Bad example of a dingbat -- the reason this architecture is named dingbat is the usually there is an element on the exterior that looks like a sunburst, think mid century clock with out hands and you pretty much have it. Most have these elements but the one shown here does not.
Who runs that Curbed site -- it is lame.
