The heading itself is an interesting case study in propaganda. Note the use of the word “defends” and the description of HIS opinion as “controversial.” Note the difference in tone with this headline: “Student Pushes Controversial Opinion of Homosexuality” or “Student Attempts to Push Controversial Sodomy Acceptance Views on Supreme Court Justice.” It’s done in so many ways, but the use of words like “controversial,” “defend(s),” and “admits,” along with any word ending in “-phobia” are common propaganda tools.

I’m so used to noticing how the left frames things to suit their agenda that I “don’t” notice anymore, I just mentally ignore the framing.
