Ms. MassResistance Says Lesbian Daughter "Confused"
In a bloggy coup, Mark Snyder runs his interview with Claudia, the daughter of MassResistance blogger in chief, Amy Contrada. Among her comments is, "I am a lesbian, which my mom still does not get. She just says that I am confused."

Check QueerToday here for the whole thing. It's worth reading. She looks like a very together person, particularly for a teen.

Sounds like a job for the Irony Squad.

Also, praise Mark for getting through his post without throwing News you won't hear anywhere else back at them.

MassResistance Daughter: I Am A Lesbian
Growing Up Gay In One Of America's Most Anti-gay Homes

Two years ago this week QueerToday.com activists organized the largest ever protest of Focus On The Family's anti-gay Love Won Out Conference that features "ex-gays" who advocate sending gay teens to dangerous conversion camps. At the protest we set up a coffin to represent the many teens who have been victims of violent anti-gay crimes and those who have committed suicide due to homophobia.

Amy Contrada, of the vehemently anti-gay duo MassResistance, was in attendance that day. What none of us knew, was that she had the potential to be a "PFLAG mom."

This week Contrada's daughter Claudia is starring in the Acton High School Production of the Laramie Project despite the fact that her mother helped to organize a forum against it, and no doubt opened the door for the similarly anti-gay Fred Phelps crew to plan their own protest of the event.

In a most brilliant display of resilience Claudia is standing up as an inspiring role model for anyone, especially young people, struggling with homophobia in their homes or communities. In addition to her acting, some of the things Claudia speaks out about include animal rights, AIDS, and war.

Today in an exclusive interview with QueerToday.com Claudia has revealed that she is a lesbian.

1. So that's another one to add to the list of anti-gay people
who have gay children. Alan Keyes, Dick Cheney, etc...

What's up with that?
