***Update***: Dan Savage has responded to LaBarbera’s claims here.
…
Anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera is pissed off at my local public broadcasting station because it aired an interview with sex columnist Dan Savage and treated him like a human being:

How dare they respect Dan?! He’s openly homosexual!
I think Pete’s just jealous that Dan Savage is far more influential than he can ever hope to be…
I saw Phil Ponce‘s interview and it was fantastic:
Sex positivity, a brain, a sense of humor, and the courage to speak out against religious bigotry has earned Dan Savage some well-deserved respect whether or not you agree with everything he says.
Irrational fear of homosexuality and an insistence that public broadcasting networks give equal time to hate-mongerers will only get you traction within the subset of Christianity that reeks of contempt and acrimony.
We’ve already seen the kinds of lies that LaBarbera enjoys spreading via his organization. It’s no surprise that credible journalists aren’t rushing to his office door.
