Wherein 'Christian Post' drops the mask
Holy shnikeys, hell must have officially frozen over. For the first time in recent memory, an evangelical publication has eschewed the usual "pro-family" label and instead referred to a queer-hostile group (in this case, Peter LaBarbera's Americans For Truth) by the more truthful "anti-gay" label:
Bravo, Jennifer Riley! You have correctly pinpointed that folks like Pete are not merely "pro-family" or "pro-marriage" (labels they obviously use as a way to make their movement look positive rather than discriminatory), but are instead working against gays and their rights. Here's hoping this is an indication that CP has turned over a new leaf -- one that sees a journalistic need to cut through spin, not help it along its message-muddying course.
