CNSNews.com reporter Penny Starr is an apologist for the right-wing Benham brothers who likes to whitewash the extremity of their anti-gay views.
Starr does this again in a Sept. 13 CNS article giving them space to baselessly rant that “if one disagrees with the ‘sexual revolution’ in Hollywood that promotes homosexuality and same-sex marriage they will be ‘persecuted.'” She adds that the Benham’s planned house-flipping reality show was canceled “after their stance on abortion was revealed and that they supported traditional marriage as the union of one man and one woman.”
In fact, the Benhams are on record calling homosexuals “destructive,” “vile,” and controlled by “demonic forces,” and they have said that Satan is behind gay marriage. As for abortion, the brothers are the sons of notorious anti-abortion activist Flip Benham, who was convicted of stalking an abortion doctor and effectively condoning calls for their murders. The brothers have never distanced themselves from their father’s views and tactics, as far as we know.
Those are not mainstream views — they are fringe, hostile and potentially threatening and violent. Starr is being dishonest to her readers by pretending otherwise.
