TV Columnist Says Coverage of LGBT Rights Was 'Disproportionate'

At the conclusion of two days worth of history-making moments at the Supreme Court, not everyone is in a celebratory mood.

Columnist Joe Concha of Mediaite, a news site covering the media, wrote a self-described "politically incorrect" op-ed on Wednesday that complains not only about the amount of coverage of same-sex marriage but also about the way LGBT people can't stop talking about their lack of rights.

He said coverage of the LGBT rights movement is "disproportionate." Here's the bottom-line:

"Of course, homosexuals who want to get legally hitched aren’t tired at all of watching news or seeing Facebook updates around the topic. After all, it’s an important to topic to them, so screw me for being tired of it, right?

It's historical what's unfolding. If he doesn't give a shit, I certainly don't give a shit that he doesn't give a shit.

Screw him.

patience and time from other groups trying to become equal.

If he were a second class citizen fighting for equality, I wonder how much time that story would be worth then?

that has acted as a bulletin board and apologist for FAUX for several years. The site has several very conservative writers and editors, including Concha, who routinely appear on FAUX and has a content sharing agreement with Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller website.
