A call to action
The Human Rights Campaign has started a campaign to get the Universal Press Syndicate from carrying Coulter's column. From the release:
Last night, Coulter defended herself on Fox News by saying “faggot" isn’t offensive to gaysâ€. Wrong! We all know the truth is that “faggot†is a loaded word. It is a weapon used to demean and wound our community. And perhaps she should explain to the tens of thousands of gay kids, whose personal safety is too often threatened, that when they are called “faggot†in school hallways and playgrounds, it isn’t anti-gay.
Would so many of our elected officials and members of the news media be so indifferent if Coulter had gone on a racist, anti-Semitic tirade? Of course not. The fact is that everyone should be treating Ann Coulter as the equivalent of David Duke. Because she is.
So the HRC is outraged by her comments. What do you expect from a bunch of fags?

What do I expect? Perhaps a bit of civility and simple decency. That seems to be too much to expect from Coulter and her readers.
