On the strap line of the January issue of the free sheet 'Alive' readers are invited to turn to page six and read the story "Case exposes 'gay' grip on US politics". The teaser includes a picture of US President Barack Obama.
The headline sounds pejorative.
But it's the irony that is so notable. Is the proprietor/editor of 'Alive' aware of the number of homosexuals who are members of his organisation?
Whether a person is hetero or homosexual is irrelevant. But the way 'Alive' refers to the issue is most worrying.
What numbers of priests are gay men? It's not an issue but the dishonesty that surrounds the issue is not helpful.
