Brian Fitzpatrick is grateful to the alternative media for many reasons but one reason in particular, it's willingness to tell the truth about issues that the MSM treats with either distortion or outright omission, caused him to pen this Town Hall column. In the article Fitzpatrick concentrates on how the homosexual rights movement has pursued not mere protection but unjust preference. And it has won. Indeed, the wild success they've achieved thus far has emboldened them to prosecute anyone who dares speak against them. And they're winning there too!
An uncompromising commitment to the freedom of speech, once an honored hallmark of the left (and most definitely of the press) has been ignored almost completely when it comes to those who would speak any ill of homosexual action.
Writes Fitzpatrick,
Hedonism and homosexuality cannot be legitimized without displacing the Bible’s restrictions on sex and God’s design for the family. The revolutionaries are going about it the obvious way, in our litigious society—through the courts. By redefining traditional sexual morality as bigotry, the sexual revolutionaries are using the law to assail the rights of speech, association and religion of anyone who disagrees with them.
Using “sexual orientation” statutes and hate crimes laws, they are attempting to silence anybody who believes that homosexuality is a sin, not an acceptable alternative “lifestyle.”
Why aren’t the liberal newspapers and broadcasters reporting these stories? As politically savvy secular institutions that back homosexual rights, they may be reluctant to publicize religious victims of the movement..."
And so it is left for you and I, creators and consumers of the alternative media, to speak the truth in love about this and other issues unpopular with the MSM...at least, until they shut us down too.
