There's a very interesting article in this week's Bay Windows, the largest LGBT newspaper in New England. Called
"Inner-Circle Jerks," the article connects the dots between the die-hard activists behind a number of Massachusetts anti-gay groups. The accompanying photo alone, with its cut-out headshots and red arrows, is worth the click over. But author Ethan Jacobs does a good job of putting it all together in the article as well. Ever since my old Montague roomates and I started recieving unsolicited issues of
Massachusetts News in the mail some eight years ago now (and howling with laughter at the paranoid, tortured rhetoric), I've been interested in these fringe groups. Almost two years ago now, I wrote an article for the Valley Advocate called
"Culture War Calling" about some of these same characters.
