LGBT News Conservative Fox News Contributor Comes Out

^^basically :lol:

It's just like the Daily Mail in the UK have their token gay journalists to pull the paper's line because it gives their anti gay arguments greater credibility if they're coming from an actual gay. That he's prepared to be that guy makes him a pretty disgusting person, imo

 

Congrats FOX! You finally have another token minority to make up for the bigotry that spills out of your mouths!

 

Jeez guys you act like Fox is the most horrible news on earth. It equally sucks just like every news channel out there but despite all that i am kind of addicted to it. This guy is brave and I wish him well on fox and i respect those who are not at the far left or far right end of things.

 

Hating Fox is their only solution...

 

Fox News deserves the bad rap that it gets. So does MSNBC. They are basically two sides of the same coin. Both rank low in fact-check statistics and both are exceedingly biased. There is bias in all news, but in Fox and MSNBC, it is often flagrant. There are better news sources out there besides those two.

 

CNN usually gets ranked high in fact checking but goodness their anchors are so horrible. I swear if Erin Burnett, Don Lemon and Wolf Blitzer cover one more news story horribly...

I mainly use NPR, BBC, TYT Network and Al-Jazeera America for news stories as well as Mediaite and AddictingInfo

 

The New York Times, The Washington Post, BBC, & NPR are my main 'news' sources, and then, I skim through Slate and Salon for commentary.

Fox is horrid in how it treats minorities: Gays, Hispanics, transgender...it's the channel for old, white, Christian males, who feel 'victimized' by gays and everyone else. I've never seen such an overtly xenophobic 'news' outlet.

 

CNN does have some bad anchors, but I like Anderson Cooper

BBC, NPR, New York Times, and The New Yorker are my main news sources. The New Yorker more for analysis.

 

I don't care why. I'm just glad to have another out conservative especially as I move towards 2016

Ok I do find that funny even though I've worked for both. (currently working for Bem Carson). I mean they sound ridiculous. I told Ben Carson's campaign coordinator the other day to tell him to please watch what he says. I spoke with the Cruz campaign a out this also. It's ridiculous

 

Working for Ben Carson? And Ted Cruz? Among the most homophobic candidates running?

Be sure to tell them more than just 'watch what they say'...maybe suggest they change their hateful views, and work towards equality, and not against it. But seriously,telling them to watch what they say, even as they hold such discriminatory views? That sounds plain-out-deceitful.

Both of them have said a LOT of hateful things; it's amazing to me that anyone LGBT, and more especially Christian, could work for them in good conscience.

 

Very. He's extremely attractive to me, although I don't agree with his political views.

 

When the opportune time comes and I am in a situation to talk to them without risking outing myself in front of friends/family I intend to. And with the exception of LGBT issues their views line up strictly with mine. Like almost identical. I'm a conservative Christian who is pro life supportive of 2nd amendment rights, a fiscal conservative, I believe in smaller government so I don't really have another choice

 

What does this even mean man

 

There used to be a conservative Republican gay man who had a radio show here in Los Angeles. He didn't seem to talk much about being gay though, probably because he knew his main audience was conservatives. Anyway I'm not terribly surprised that there are gay conservatives so this doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

(He's good looking in a kind of plastic way, but just the fact that he works for FOX news makes me want to dislike him. It's not a hatred for conservatives, it's just that FOX news in particular makes my skin crawl.)

 

They'll catch up to you eventually.

 

Proof that being gay doesn't mean you're sensible.

 

I could understand (I still wouldn't agree, but I'd understand the reasoning) calling him "self-hating" or "being tokenistic" if he was opposed to gay rights, but he... isn't. In fact, I actually agree with Guy Benson's points in the interview. In any case, though, I'm glad that he isn't getting too much backlash for his sexuality or politics. Nobody should be forced to believe a certain ideology because of something that they were born with.

To be completely honest, though, I don't like FOX, CNN or MSNBC; they're all pretty biased. (Remember CNN's coverage of "Bad Apple"? There's so much wrong with it that I don't even know where to start!)

 

My friend's uncle makes beanies with sayings on them. Two that he offers are "Wild Conservative" & "So Gay". All I wanna see before I die is this Fox guy peel back his "Wild Conservative" beanie to reveal "So Gay".

 

Probably a political move but kudos to him for going through with it. Probably tough to still be a part of a political party that probably has a negative opinion of him.
