One of these things is not like the other. Leave it to the homophobic New York Post to bury the good news about marriage equality underneath some story about a suicidal woman. Granted, we’re just being selfish. After all, the suicidal woman story probably affects tens of thousands of people whereas the statewide approval of marriage equality affects, like, only eight people, right? Oh well, at least most New York newspapers got it right.

What can we expect from a yellow journalistic right wing tabloid owned by homophobe Rupert Murdoch? Its readership is declining, just like Fox News.

Rupert Murdoch owns the New York Post and Fox News. Explains everything doesn’t it?
Rupert has a band of homophobic Australians working at the New York Post’s editorial offices in New York City. Apparently, they also refuse to show photos of two men kissing but will allow photos of two women kissing.
What’s the best way to get back at stinking Rupert and his vile band of Australians? Send them your wedding photos. Make sure these show two men kissing. If they refuse to publish them, expose them. Darling Rupert and his band of homophobic Australians deserve it.

Is there any evidence that Rupert himself is homophobic? I read that he’s more interested in tapping into the right/center-right public here in America, and that’s what he’s built his empire on – but that his personal views are not reflected in his publications or media.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s funding Australia’s atheist female Prime Minister who opposes same-sex marriage. He’s a vile, disgusting pig. How dumb straight men are when they love seeing two women getting it on, but not two men. Shows how stupid they are and hung-up about gay men. That to me says they’re insecure about their own orientation. Those are the types who’d let another man oral them, not reciprocate of course yet claim they’re still straight, not even “casual” bisexual. I know many straight men who are turned on by two women, but aren’t in the least homophobic towards gay men but they are in the minority I believe.

I believe a Canadian university study some time ago conducted an experiment on gay and straight men. Both groups were exposed to pornography, straight and gay. In the straight group, more than 80% of the men attained erections observing gay porn, probably the types who aren’t turned on to seeing two men at it.

It’s almost as if that headline is a subliminal message. To actually believe that a moment in US history as prolific as this equal rights law passage would be passed over for some selfish woman’s ego based cry for attion isn’t homophobic is absurd.

Close but no. It was the homophobic “str8” guys that got erections watching gay porn. The str8 guys that had no issues w homosexuality DID NOT get erections watching gay porn.
I would urge you not to print such important info via “belief” wo full research. Your statements come off as highly inflamatory to str8 guys, and rightly so. Stick to knowledge, belief is not an option in thus case.

PS
It wasn’t Canada that conducted said research. It was the U of Georgia done in 1996.

homophobic ploy or not… you gotta admit that is an awesome picture!

I stand corrected, iDavid.
The RealMannequinAdam, maybe this throws some light on Murdoch’s homophobia. News Corp overlord Rupert Murdoch speaks out on gay marriage:
“I believe it is wrong. I’m considered homophobic and crazy about these things and old fashioned. But I think that the family – father, mother, children – is fundamental to our civilisation.”
The twice-divorced Murdoch, whose three wives have borne him a total of six children, is responsible for such other contributions to our civilization as “Temptation Island,” “The Littlest Groom,” and “Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy.”

I don’t buy into the argument that people opposing marriage equality aren’t homophobic to some extent. He doesn’t deny he’s homophobic either. He once said that being gay is wrong in an interview with The Independent newspaper in London. He allows his tabloids free rein to denigrate and dehumanize gay people. Whether he personally believes it or not, is neither here nor there. The fact that he lets his media conglomeration do it is nothing more than condoning it.

The NY POST is a VERY conservative waspy paper

As I said above, send your wedding photos to the New York Post for publication in their wedding section. Make sure these photos show two men kissing. It will be fascinating to see how the homophobic pigs at the New York Pervert (er, Post) react.

@robert in NYC: Are you talking about the study on homophobia the University of Georgia did? You really need to do a quick Google search before you start out with “I think there was some study done..” because, and no offense here, you’re putting info out there which is totally false and easily verified. The University of GA study found 80% of homophobes got turned on by gay porn.
Michael
btw, I buy the Post ever morning and was excited to see what the headline would be that morning and, um, this is what we got? What is perhaps THE turning point in the modern day gay rights movement is eclipsed by some dumb bitch who wants to jump off a roof? I think the Post was intentionally saying “f*ck you” to the LGBT community since someone committing suicide is hardly front page news in NYC.
robert in NYC
Michael, if you look at No. 11, you’ll see the first line of my post stating…”I stand corrected”, in response to iDavid’s post.

This is complete inanity. Any 3rd grader knows that a cover of a woman basically in the act of a public suicide is going to sell about 10 times as many papers as one with a generic cover of a some doods celebrating in a bar. This is not homophobia, it’s shrewd business for a tabloid.
