Fox Disses Gays With Quote From Homophobic Hate Monger

Despite the Victoria’s Secret models and leggy newsbabes, Fox is clearly the “family values” channel which serves to protect good, God fearing Americans from Hollywood liberals, those who would steal Christmas, and homosexuals. While this Grapevine nugget (June 19th) wasn’t the kind of overt homophobia peddled by Bill O’Reilly, it was, in its subtlety, quite effective. It was a typical short attention span piece which distilled a major issue into the requisite Fox message with a little kicker at the end – a “funny” sentence meant to create a lasting impression and give the intolerant Fox viewers yet another talking point to use in spreading the gospel of Fox.

The piece led off with a comment about how “two homosexual advocacy groups” (a phrase sure to strike terror into the hearts of the Fox Heartland) are criticizing the awarding of a presidential “Medal of Freedom” to retired Joint Chiefs Chairman General Peter Pace because he has “taken a dim view of homosexual behavior for those in uniform.” The groups (not identified) have said that the medal is “insensitive and disrespectful.” Reference was made to Pace’s statement to the Chicago Tribune that homosexual acts are sinful. The piece than ended with a snappy little quote from Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth, (the full name of the organization, not given, is Americans for Truth about Homosexuality)that “opposes gay activism” who said (ha, ha) that “Pace also said adultery is wrong, and yet I don’t see two pro-adultery organizations out condemning him.”
