Savage Love.
As a young journalist, I wonder when it's appropriate to point out the hate monger du jour, or when I'm just promoting him or her. Take Kirk what's-his-face, is it better to let his backwards opinions wallow in obscurity. I'm torn between thinking gay journalists like yourself (who i love, love, love and love some more - see I'm objective) are just promoting, advancing, amplifying hate-filled views that otherwise die. This Kirk dork is promoting a movie. And frankly, who gives a shit what he thinks? What next, Jason Priestly on the Palestinian Israeli conflict?
The question is when are you exposing hate speech or groups toward a useful end and when are you elevating and therefore advancing the views of no-name nobodies? Oprah once said she had an "aha" moment during a show with skin heads, the realization being that she was giving a world wide platform to a bunch of marginalized weirdos. Would love to know what you think? and more importantly, I LOVE YOU!!!
