WND Anti-Gay Agenda Watch
Topic: WorldNetDaily

WorldNetDaily continued its anti-gay agenda with a pair of articles:

-- A May 19 article by Chelsea Schilling declared: "Nationwide outrage against public school participation in the 'gay'-friendly 2008 Day of Silence resulted in hundreds of students boycotting the observance and some administrators canceling pro-homosexual activities." Schilling offered no objective evidence, other than the personal opinion of anti-gay activist Linda Harvey, that the "Day of Silence" is "pro-homosexual."

-- Apparently taking its cue from Warner Todd Huston's anti-gay rant, a May 21 article reported on a South Carolina high school principal's plan to resign "following a demand to launch a student club to promote homosexuality." Again, no objective evidence is offered beyond personal opinions that the Gay-Straight Alliance Club "promote[s] homosexuality."

WND has reported extensively on the nationwide campaign by homosexual clubs to inject homosexuality into public schools.

Such clubs typically are cited as the sponsors of the annual "Day of Silence" promotional event for homosexuality.

Once again, no evidence is offered that any of this "promotes homosexuality." WND is merely invoking the Depiction-Equals-Approval Fallacy.
