http://www.edgeboston.com/index.php?ch=news&sc=&sc2=news&sc3=&id=103697Anti-gay blog Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) is rather like a publicity engine for gay and lesbian causes, only in reverse: its constant reporting on gay issues (including the occasional in-depth, undercover reportage from various gay gatherings) are written from the perspective that gays and lesbians are "sinners" who "choose" to embrace the gay "lifestyle."
The blog's author, Peter LaBarbera, often adopts a populist tone, his articles often addressing readers as, "Folks." But the site is fringe right, and far out of the mainstream; indeed, AFTAH has now been categorized as a 'hate group' by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which tracks hate groups, extremists, racist organizations, and paramilitary organizations.
