In a July 19 CNSNews.com article, Penny Starr weirdly describes critics of the Defense of Marriage Act as “supporters of homosexual behavior.” No, really:
The Defense of Marriage was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996, and it says, in general, that for any federal purposes marriage “means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.” It also says that no state is required to recognize same-sex marriages performed in a different state.
Supporters of homosexual behavior, including same-sex “marriage,” responded positively to Obama’s endorsement of Feinstein’s bill, which would repeal DOMA and also ensure that same-sex married couples are entitled to receive benefits under federal law, such as medical leave and survivors’ benefits. The law would not, however, require states without homosexual marriage laws to accept such couplings.
Starr also puts the word “marriage” in scare quotes when it’s being modifed by the term “same-sex.”
Starr has a history of anti-gay rhetoric in her “news” articles.
