World wide press? Before the HRC was involved? Maybe there was some blogger in Ecuador who got upset but that's not what we're talking about.
This whole thing exploded when HRC decided to overstep their charter and partake in extralegal hectoring for the sake of Political Correctness.
Somehow, I think the dozens of folks that decide to patronize Vento BECAUSE of his stance, outnumber every few who decided that the sign was hurtful to their sensibilities and won't patronize him. When folks are lined up twenty deep, you can pretty much call the shots.
