Without a trace of criticism, Exodus exgay media blogger Nancy Brown promotes AgapePress' March 4 defense of Wisconsin Christians United as a group of martyrs assaulted by the "violent heart" of gay Americans.
http://exodus.blogs.com/synopsis/2005/03/activist_assaul.htmlhttp://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/3/42005b.aspFirst, some context:
WCU papered the homes of Burlington, Wis., with tracts that demand the prosecution and punishment of gay people, and that (based on "studies" by discredited activist Paul Cameron), define same-sex-attracted people as diseased pedophiles and cannibals. (AgapePress obscures the issue, euphemistically describing the literature merely as "a biblical message about homosexuality.")
http://www.wcuweb.com/Documents/WCULITERATURE/truth.htmIn response to the threatening tracts, WCU says, one man began "assaulting" the antigay canvassers; WCU does not say whether the assault was verbal or physical.
Despite his own intolerance, Ralph Ovadal -- director of WCU -- criticizes "such intolerant reactions" to "Christian expressions," and says there is a benefit to be gained from such altercations: Such confrontations reinforce Ovadal's wishful contention that peaceful coexistence between gay-tolerant and antigay people is impossible.
Ovadal vows to return to Burlington with more antigay hate tracts.
