The publisher of a Twin Cities magazine says he was caught by surprise after a group of delegates coming to the Republican National Convention canceled an order of the magazine's guidebook after seeing it had a six-page section for gays and lesbians.

The campaign for Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling had ordered 150 guidebooks published by The Rake for the Virginia delegates as gifts.

But the order was canceled after a campaign staffer discovered the GLBT section.

Tom Bartel, publisher of The Rake, says the campaign is missing out on a lot of information about Twin Cities attractions.

Bolling's chief of staff says the decision was made on a "staff level" and that the lieutenant governor would not have had a problem with the guidebook's content.
