The editorial board of PennLive/The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. is taking a hardcore stance against those who disagree with the Supreme Court ruling to legalize gay marriage.
“As a result of Friday’s ruling, PennLive/The Patriot-News will no longer accept, nor will it print, op-Eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage,” they declared.
After receiving strong pushback, the newspaper’s editorial board, which is overseen by Editorial Page Editor John Micek, quickly revised its policy. Freedom of speech will be allowed — but only for a “limited” period of time.
Micek explained on Twitter: “Clarification: We will not foreclose discussion of the high court’s decision, but arguments that gay marriage is wrong/unnatural are out.”
Before that, there was this: “From the edit: ‘PL/PN will no longer accept, nor will it print, op-Eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage.’ …This is not hard: We would not print racist, sexist or anti-Semitc letters. To that, we add homophobic ones. Pretty simple.”

In 6 months? No way that is going to happen.
“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”
Winston Churchill
This is just Day 1. Today, they’re just celebrating by having a nation-wide orgy. When they sober up in a few days, the Krystallnacht will really begin.
I’m predicting outrageous behavior from the unhinged sodomites in the next few days. Expect invasions of evangelical church services this coming Sunday, with sodomites storming the pulpit and throwing condoms into the pews.
I’m sure of it.
I’ll bet they allow pro gun control letters.
Great line!
i wonder if this editor understands that his free press is not free from the people just the .GOV
If worse comes to worst... if you go to the lions wouldn’t you at least want to have a witness to make it worth it for God, rather than whining how it sucks to be cat food?
Paper’s here have been doing that for a long time. I had to write over 100 letters before one got printed. They would print anything else I said. But on this topic, it never made the cut until a few years had passed. Once I finally got to say what I wanted to say, I quit writing letters.
What finally worked was sending the letter to a different person. I constantly sent them the normal letter route and the never made the cut.
LOL! I was thinking the same thing; and at least there’s some humor in the frenzy we’ve witnessed today.
I like old-fashioned newspapers; I had a paper-route as a kid, and learned a lot reading the paper on my rounds.
But since there are none that are much worth reading in my area anymore, I only use them for birdcage liners (not a cliche - I have three birds :-)
A product on its last legs is just hastening its own demise.

That opinion will be like waving a confederate flag.
I guess they didn’t take any opposing Op Eds when the Dredd-Scott Decision came down either.
It they silence dissent, folks who would oppose gay marriage should no longer buy the paper or advertise in it. Plenty of pro gay folks can buy advertisements to take up the slack
Sad to say, the vast majority of them will. African-Americans have an a priori commitment to the Democratic party. The Christianity of most blacks is merely cultural and nominal.
Of course, there are genuine black Christians who will stand up for God's definition of marriage, but these will be in the minority among their fellow African-Americans.
People should organize a boycott of ALL this papers advertisers.
Oh, for Pete’s sake, people.
These are 150-lb, bed-wetting punks who have been castrated by femi-Nazis and who hate guns.
Anyone who is afraid of these gerbils needs to immediately drop out of the patriot movement.
(I can’t believe I had to write this!)
Guns will be next.
The science is settled.
No, they're across the river in Hampden township.
If one was of a mind to, one could troll the black Christian churches so hard with this.
Get video while you're rubbing their faces in the stink of Obamanation's pile of same-sex dog feces.
