The issue here is greed. Price knew Camp was gay all along, and no one ever complained about his work. It just so happens that the one person who complained about Camp's work for the Triangle is also a writer for the American Family Association. These are not the people who send you mail with Ed McMahon's picture on it. Miss. Recently, the Texas chapter of the organization has gone after The Texas Triangle by sending the names of its advertisers to local preachers or reading their names on the radio.
Newspapers live and die by advertising revenue.
The American Family Association has apparently figured out that the best way to shut down the Triangle is to shame its advertisers into pulling their ads. It would seem that Price wasn't very excited about the prospect of having the names of Star-Telegraph advertisers being read over the local radio station for supporting a gay person. As long as the advertising revenues of the Star-Telegraph were safe, Camp's other work wasn't a problem. Once those revenues were threatened, he was forced into another job. It wasn't unreasonable for Price to assume that some of the paper's advertisers would buckle under the negative publicity the AFA could have generated.
