Maggie slips 'b-f***ing 101' into post; says more about own views than her opposition's
Believe it or not, Maggie Gallagher recently used the following phrase in a NOM Blog post, as a way of describing inclusive sex education curriculum:
And she wasn't referencing someone else's words either. At least not accurately. Because the source for her post was this Queerty piece. And while a commenter on that post did pointedly use that phrase precisely to describe the hysterical way the Religious Right tends to view LGBT-inclusive/anti-bullying curriculum (see comment #3 from Caligari), Queerty writer Daniel Villareal never did use these words. So when you pull back and look at how Maggie herself used this phrase, with direct attribution to a "he" who she'd earlier identified as "The Queerty blogger" (i.e. Villareal)...
...Maggie's journalistic misstep becomes undeniable. Her agenda, equally so.
