Homophobes Aren't, Like, Homophobic — They're Just 'Pro-Straight'
LatestHomophobes have a branding problem. Most Americans now think gay sex is “acceptable” (how gracious of them) and thus are turned off by politicians and pundits who, say, compare homosexuality to pedophilia or generally think gay people are icky. Former National Organization for Marriage leader Maggie Gallagher has a genius solution: bring on the “Pro-Straight” Movement!
Gallagher recently penned a National Review op-ed regarding a growing societal problem: around six in ten Americans consider gay sex morally acceptable. Meanwhile, it’s considered “scandalous” for an ESPN reporter to say that gay people “are walking in open rebellion to God and to Jesus Christ,” or for a neurosurgeon to compare homosexuality to pedophilia and bestiality. Man, do Americans have their priorities out of whack!
