Check out this advertisement recently published in the Weekly Standard:
The text is not what I’m getting at. I’m all for the right to free speech – even hateful hysteria. But the imagery is truly shocking. It’s out of Der Sturmer. It’s portraying a gay priest as an animal, a wolf or a dog. It descends into the most vicious anti-gay stereotypes – the limp wrists, the foppish clothes, the clerical cape. If the equivalent kind of image of a black person – huge lips, Afro hair, bongo drums, etc. – or of a Jew – hook-nosed, money-counting, devious – were presented to a respectable publication, it would never see the light of day. Yes, it’s an ad. But even ads are vetted for basic standards of taste and decency. This one is a piece of Goebbels-style hatred. And yet the Standard’s editors seemed to have no problem with it. How depressing.
