Washington Post Prints Homphobic Magazine Supplement

It's really shocking that a major paper would accept this kind of advertisiing. While freedom of speech issues may have some relevance here, the author of the Americablog post on this correctly points out that there is little doubt that the Post would have refused to publish this garbage if the minority group targeted was any but homosexuals. Consider, for example, if some white supremacist group had sponsored a similar pullout targeting blacks and citing completely discredited "science" claiming that blacks are inferior to whites. (The ad in question claims that monogamous, non-AIDS infected gay men have a median life expectancy of 41 years.)
