Talk:Brian Camenker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A full gamut of Massachusetts culture war articles, and nothing from the Massachusetts New? How times change, I guess. Stilgar135 06:26, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Terminology

I'll admit that "attention" is more neutral than "notoriety", but I don't see how you can reasonably replace "anti-gay" with "pro-family". His activism is entirely based on opposition to homosexuality. Stilgar135 06:36, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

"Anti-Gay" is a loaded word. "Pro-Family" is more neutral. I replaced the term with "Christian" as it is more neutral than "Pro-Family", and not loaded like "Anti-Gay." Ghostmonkey57 01:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)Ghostmonkey57

But Christianity isn't the cornerstone of his beliefs. I've read articles by and about him for years, and religion almost never comes up. Beyond that, he doesn't advocate for school prayer or against abortion or any other standard right-wing Christian causes. Again, "pro-family" means different things. Can you actually deny that Camenker isn't anti-gay? Of those three options, it's the only one that really encompasses everything that he is. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to simply call him a conservative activist and emphasize, in the article's body, that he focuses on homosexuality and sexual education.
