Ride snowboards apologize for homophobic banner
A maker of snowboards has apologized for a homophobic trade show banner that mocked its competitor, and has suspended the employees who created it. "The worst thing about riding a Burton is telling your friend you're gay," read the banner posted by Ride snowboards. Reports say the banner and stickers bearing the same message were seen at snow industry trade shows in Montreal in February and also in Las Vegas.
