Melanie Phillips, that bastion of freethinking and compassionate journalism, is Bigot of the Year, I see.
It’s one of Stonewall’s annual awards. There are some positive ones there, too, as you can see from the second link in the story linked to above.
gay and lesbian matters, rationalism, atheism, freethought, secularism — this is the weblog of the Pink Triangle Trust, the only gay humanist charity

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.

What a good choice! Phillips obviously hangs on every word of that other Roman Catholic fright in the Vatican.
ReplyDeleteCorrection! I made a boob! Phillips is a Judaist not a Roman Catholic, but is no doubt of the Orthodox variety who hangs on the every word of that other homophobic fright the Chief Rabbi.
ReplyDeleteMelanie Phillips is a nasty piece of work. I once took her to task over a particularly poisonous piece she had penned about same sex parenting. I pointed out that simply being heterosexual and/ or married was no guarantee of parental skill or moral probity, citing Fred & Rosemary West as a topical example. She didn't like that one bit and completely lost it! Vile bigot.
