Oops! FoxNews.com Uses Pic of Same Sex Wedding to Tout 'Traditional' Marriage

[SiriusDawg]

From the "You can't write this" files: Suzanne Venker, niece of reactionary Phyllis Schlafly, wrote a column for FoxNews.com further laying out her already lambasted argument that it is the fault of women that there is a battle of the sexes going on at all. Worried that the feedback she got from the first column indicated that most misunderstood her argument for the traditional marriage of a man and his wife where neither strove for "equality" within the relationship, Venker doubled down

...........

What's more funny than her specious argument against the reality of today's gender roles is the graphic Fox News opted to accompany the column. With Venker arguing for the traditional male-breadwinner, female-homemaker gender roles, the picture was actually of Stephanie Figarelle and Lela McArthur, who were the first same sex couple to be married at the top of the Empire State Building.

...........


After enough tittering on Twitter and the internets over their ridiculous choice of graphics, FoxNews.com removed the graphic in favor of what appears to be generic restroom signage. Perhaps that too is a comment on Venker's scholarship.

With the haircut and suit it's difficult to tell that's a woman.

You mean, outside of the web-site changing the picture because they didn't realize they were lesbos?

[MatthewT]

why would they keep the photo if the photo was causing people problems?

Well, they changed it because they wanted a picture that showed a happy couple.....not a happy lesbo couple.

Am I really having to explain this to you when the author already responded by admitting the picture was not supposed to be put up?

[MatthewT]

damn, you gotta be trying to be this dumb

point is, are we gonna admit that men and women are different? if not, we're doomed as a society.

We are already doomed.

We have people crying about religious intolerance than wanting to force religious intolerance on everyone else.
We have people with 5-6 different marriages wanting to determine who can get married because it is so "sacred"

The list goes on....

[MatthewT]

we're doomed because self-righteous people like you think you can disbelieve God and have some sort of power over the universe

it's not happenin' dude; it's goin' down just like the bible says. bank on it.

Somewhat-like the bible says?

[MatthewT]
