ELKO, Nev. -- Citing support from readers, The Elko Daily Free Press will continue to run the opinion column written by conservative Ann Coulter that some newspapers are dropping at the urging of a gay and lesbian advocacy group, the paper said Friday.

The Human Rights Campaign started a campaign to pressure the Universal Press Syndicate and newspapers that publish Coulter's words to drop her after she used a slur in reference to Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards.

"I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot,' so I -- so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards," Coulter told GOP activists attending the annual Conservative Political Action Conference last Friday.
