I won’t give the Times the click but, on the basis of what you’ve excerpted here I think a couple of things should be pointed out:
1. The Times so so badly wants to talk about how much the world hates gays that it runs this article, as “news,” about something that happened fifty years ago.
2. The headline — “ax wielding” obviously suggests that the ax wielders were going after human beings with axes. Of course if you read the article you find that they were doing with the axes what one is supposed to do with an ax: chop down a tree.
I guess there wasn’t enough “hate” happening yesterday (i.e. enough people doing things that the Times disagrees with) so they had to go find very very old news and then report on that with a distorted headline.
What a shame. Once upon a time it was a good newspaper.
No where do they mention public sex unless i misses that part
When, I wonder.
Mostly people did not know how much they were being lied to, not only with what was in the paper, but what was excluded.
It still is,it makes a excellent liner for my cats litter box.
Actually, I see this as the Media’s moral equivalency explanation for the police watching in Portland while Antifa beat a man senseless.
For real moral equivalency, they should consider the KKK. Silly masks in public, violence, and police unwillingness to curb their excesses.
