When you have an aggressive homophobe like Michael W. Chapman as your managing editor, anti-LGBT freakouts are to be expected at CNSNews.com. And indeed, Chapman and other writers continue to deliver. Chapman huffed in an Aug. 23 article:
Although Georgetown University is the nation’s oldest Catholic institution of higher learning, founded by Bishop John Carroll in 1789, it has named transgender “female” Charlotte Clymer, a biological male and transgender activist, to be one of its fall 2021 “Fellows.”
The Georgetown Fellows “lead weekly discussion groups,” “hold office hours for students” and “mentor students,” according to the Fellows’ webpage. They also receive a stipend, may use campus resources, and may audit any class at the McCourt School of Public Policy, “one of the top public policy schools in the nation.”
Chapman went on to complain that Clymer’s talks to Fellows will touch on things like bigotry in America and climate change — then went on to recite anti-LGBT aspects of Catholic Church canon.
In an Aug. 24 column, Bill Donohue freaked out that Biden appointed a gay man as ambassador to a very tiny European country:
Personnel is policy. The people a president appoints to any job reveal his priorities. Even ambassadors, who are usually just major campaign donors, can tell a lot about what a president wants to accomplish. From President Biden’s appointment of Scott Miller to serve as the United States Ambassador to the Swiss Confederation and the Principality of Liechtenstein, we can see once again that Biden has clearly prioritized LGBT issues over Christians.
Scott Miller comes into his ambassadorship after serving as the co-chairman of the Gill Foundation, one of the largest militant and anti-Christian LGBT organizations in the country. The Foundation has long worked to trample the rights of anyone who morally objects to same-sex marriage. Miller, along with his “husband” Tim Gill, the founder and co-chair of the foundation, have not sought to find a compromise in which homosexuals and people of faith can coexist; rather, they have treated the relationship as a zero-sum game.
CNS loves freaking out over the idea that some of Biden’s nominees aren’t heterosexual.
On Aug. 25, Chapman was at it again:
Members of the Jamaican Coalition for a Healthy Society (JCHS) protested outside the U.S. Embassy in Jamaica this month against the flying of an LGBT Pride flag, denouncing the action as an “insult to our country.”
The Biden administration has made flying the LGBT flag a top priority of its diplomatic mission, to condone and promote the homosexual lifestyle.
Chapman offered no evidence that flying the LGBT flag is a “top priority” for the Biden administration, or that being LGBT is merely a “lifestyle.”
Chapman had another meltdown on Sept. 17:
Jared Polis, the openly gay Democratic governor of Colorado, “married” his long-time partner, Marlon Reis, in a small Jewish ceremony on Sept. 15. Traditional, orthodox Judaism teaches that marriage is between one man and one woman.
“Mawage. Mawage is what brings us together today,” tweeted Polis, a former member of Congress, on Sept. 15.
Chapman is so homophobic, he couldn’t even find humor in the “Princess Bride” reference in Polis’ tweet.
After noting that the ceremony was performed by “a Jungian psychotherapist and a leader in the international Jewish Renewal Movement,” Chapman called on his favorite right-wing (and borderline racist) Jewish group, the Coalition for Jewish Values, to denounce the “marriages” (his scare quotes, not ours):
Asked for comment about the “marriage,” Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), told CNS News that his organization opposes such arrangements because marriage is reserved for a man and a woman.
“Marriage is described in Genesis as directly connected to having children,” said Rabbi Menken. “So even without reference to clear prohibitions in Leviticus, it is obvious that a same-sex union is foreign to Judaism.”
The CJV represents 1,500-plus traditional, orthodox rabbis nationwide.
Chapman concluded by whining, “Polis has a long history of supporting liberal/left causes and voting (in Congress) for their advancement.
