Fox News' parent company investing in 'gay marriage'

The owner of a cable news channel is investing in homosexual marriage, and one conservative activist says that shows the direction the network is taking on the issue.

News Corporation, the parent company of Fox News, is preparing to publish a magazine devoted to planning "gay" and lesbian weddings with the debut issue of Wedding Pride next month. Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) deems it sad that the news operation trusted by many Americans is supporting homosexual marriage. But he says it is an indication of the direction the network is headed.

"Conservative and faith-based Americans do not look to Fox to promote sin. And yet, every time Fox promotes homosexuality, that's exactly what they're doing; they're promoting bad morality," LaBarbera contends.

According to him, that is the network's trend, as some talk show hosts do not even address the subject. But he argues that neutrality on the issue is not what Fox's constituency deserves.

"I think the problem is Fox News is based in New York City, which is a gay Mecca. That's one of the problems," he suggests. "But, it's this idea [of] sort of going with the media, going with the popular culture."

LaBarbera goes on to point out that when the New York Senate voted to legalize homosexual marriage, other news networks devoted considerable time to report on it, while Fox News devoted zero segments to the vote or to the governor signing the measure into law.
