The usage of the term "alternative lifestyles", the use of the term "homosexual activists" as a way to scare people. Quoting the AFA a virulently right-wing anti-gay think tank. There is a reason people are angry and a reason they pulled this article. Too bad they posted it to begin with, I think they should be held accountable.Queers Unitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-40967775310175081932008-04-28T01:47:00.000-04:002008-04-28T01:47:00.000-04:00I'm sorry, but I'm seeming to have trouble locatin...I'm sorry, but I'm seeming to have trouble locating the parts that are part of the "right-wing homophobic agenda".

This sounds like they tried a pretty sophomoric version of fairness - there are two "sides" to the issue, so in order to be "fair," we have to present both sides on equal footing.<BR/><BR/>No, no, no.
