Horrible Coverage of Day of Silence in MI
WNEM has run one of the worst stories I have seen in recent years on LGBT issues by using insensitive and inflammatory terms to cover the Day of Silence today.
You can read the story here.
First, the headline is pure AFA propaganda. Then referring to the AFA as a "family values" organization is a flat out lie. Then they referred to gays and lesbians as living an "alternative lifestyle" and referred us as "homosexuals." They also keep referring to DOS as a protest, as if there will demonstrations occurring in schools. The AFA lies in the piece by saying they have contacted tens of thousands of parents in MI. They have no such list in MI. If they mean they are reaching parents through the meda
They also ran no response to Gary Glenn of the AFA. It is completely biased coverage. They basically ran the press release of AFA.

When it comes down to it, we're not supposed to exist. They say they object to the half-naked exhibitionism and debauchery that forms a part of pride parades, but really, even a non-obtrusive, individual, silent protest is too much of an assertion of self. If you're going to be gay, at least have the courtesy to annihilate yourself.
