FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
by Ken Connor

The intolerant bigotry of some militant homosexual activists knows neither shame nor limit. Len Munsil, president of the Center for Arizona Policy, FRC's sister state pro-family organization, has been targeted for attack by a homosexual publication, Echo magazine.
In a recent editorial, the magazine's Jeff Ofstedahl vilified the center as "Arizona's own Taliban" and suggested that "You can say what you want about Osama bin Ladin and his gang. Personally, I'm still more terrorized by our very own American religious fanatics." It gets worse. "We also find ourselves 'at war,' but with whom?" Mr. Ofstedahl asked. He went on to propose that, "Once we've decimated the terrorist cells worldwide, then we can start to focus on the religious zealots here in our own country."
Similar bigotry directed at homosexuals doubtless would be deemed hate speech intended to provoke people to violence. Equating law-abiding Americans and organizations that defend marriage and oppose the radical gay political agenda with the Taliban, or with the terrorists who massacred thousands of innocent people on Sept. 11, is morally repugnant.
Such is the intolerance of some who plead incessantly for tolerance. Defenders of marriage and the family will not be intimidated or silenced by such bigotry. We commend Len Munsil, the good folks at the Center for Arizona Policy, and the thousands of others across this great land, from Maine to Hawaii, who are standing tall for the family.
