BothSides magazine has drawn over 1,000 calls and emails to the Washington Post after it's publication in Sunday's paper. Why the hubub? It's an anti-gay hatevertorial sponsored by the Christian Right. While they are allowed to purchase ad space and print what they want, the organization mischaracterized gay people and gay marriage, and lied to support their conclusions.
Several e-mails Getler received... blasted the paper for running the insert. "The Washington Post lost a few notches of respect in my opinion," one e-mail said. "And that is all a paper really ever has." Said another, "The fact that the Post ran an advertisement whose clear purpose was to drive a wedge between two minority groups (blacks and gays) and which gave a voice to people who practice quack science and sell it as gospel is simply disgusting."
