I truly don't understand why this is news.

It would make sense to be local news..

To be news spread beyond local, no..

Because it's a nottheonion-y title.

The website that published the news is a local news site.

Articles and titles need to be oniony though. Not just the title.

It makes a good off beat story. No national news should be making it front page (unless maybe if it was a news agency focused on LGBTQ+ politics) but it makes for a fun paragraph to fill a gap in a page halfway through a paper, mainly just so some cub reporter has an excuse to come up with some good James Bond (007) jokes

Local news always have the funniest headlines
