EXCLUSIVE: Indy Star Orchestrates Secret Campaign To Promote LGBT Special Protections
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | August 26, 2015 | Thomas Rose

Breitbart News has exclusively obtained an email sent by the President and Publisher of the Indianapolis Star. It invites “community leaders” to help plan and coordinate an aggressive, highly orchestrated campaign to “persuade” the Indiana state legislature to adopt sweeping special protections for Indiana’s gay, lesbian and transgender communities.

The email, sent personally by Karen Ferguson Fuson, President and Publisher of the Star, was sent early this morning to an undisclosed list of business and media elites, together with gay rights activists. It pulls no punches in its scope or its goals. The email, in its unedited entirety reads as follows:

Dear Friends:

The IndyStar is preparing this fall to launch an ambitious and aggressive Editorial Board campaign designed to persuade the governor and state lawmakers to expand Indiana’s civil rights law to include protections for sexual orientation and gender identity.

We would like to privately brief you on our plans for the campaign, to explain ways in which you and your organization can partner with us, to answer your questions, and to hear your thoughts and possible concerns. Please join us for a meeting with community leaders on September 22, from 8:00 – 9:30 am at our offices, 130 S. Meridian St.

We believe that it is critical for all of us to work together to drive this important change and to further the recovery from damage done to our state by the RFRA controversy....

They used to be a relatively conservative paper. Shame.

The people behind this need to have their names attached to literature insulting the Prophet Mohammad, and then circulated in the Muslim communities near where they live.

We need to start wars between our opponents. Whichever side loses, we still win.

Sure did. I was amazed when I read their take on the religious liberty issue. Then I saw who owns it. Satan.

A Gannett paper...figures.

She also needs a proof reader for her twitter feed...what does "alomg" mean? Look:

...btw, I am happy to report I recently declined to renew my Indianapolis-based "Angie's List" subscription. When asked why, they were told why: because of their bigoted anti-Christian stance.

....now they have a 45 year old woman/girl/wannabe teeny bopper who is trying to prop up a failing business model with social media tweaks.

And with apparently no moral compass or base.
