| Excerpts from The Daily Beast: |
| Wade Richards helped Delaware's new Palin-endorsed, Tea Party-affiliated GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell rail against gay rights—until he came out. He tells Michelle Goldberg how O'Donnell abandoned him, and how her lesbian sister helped him accept his sexuality. |
                                                            ******************
Wade also talks about the "research" conducted at the anti-gay group  Americans for Truth About Homosexuality:
First, he went to work for a group called Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, whose founder, Peter LaBarbara, he’d met through O’Donnell. LaBarbara is among the most virulent anti-gay activists in the nation, famous for his prurient obsession with the outré corners of the gay sexual demimonde. After going undercover at an “International Mr. Leather†convention, for example, he appeared on Concerned Women for America’s radio show to regale his interviewer with tales of “grotesque hard-core homosexual pornography,†including urine fetishes and something called “pig sex.â€
Richards was unnerved when he went into Americans for Truth About Homosexuality’s “media room†and found copious hard-core porn—for research, naturally—as well as leather bondage gear for undercover work. “The sad thing was, there’s that 80-year-old grandma in Wichita, Kansas, thinking she’s donating this money to a good cause, and it’s going to who knows what kind of ‘research,’†says Richards. “As someone struggling with same-sex attraction, I thought, this is really not a place I need to be hanging out in.â€

Some are calling women like Christine the "new feminists." New indeed -- from advocating for personal choice to advocating for a dictatorship of the personal.
That sums it up perfectly.
They are far from being perfect. They are creepy people.
"LaBarbara is among the most virulent anti-gay activists in the nation, famous for his prurient obsession with the outré corners of the gay sexual demimonde."
Why do I get the feeling that LaBarbara is a closet gay? Another Conservative hypocrite.
