Conservative leaders criticize violence in movies and on television because of its impact on real-life violence.
Yet now, after the murder of Matthew Shepard, these same conservative leaders deny that anti-gay rhetoric has real-life consequences. They can't have it both ways.
I challenge them to repudiate that rhetoric and denounce the comments of anti-gay activists with the same fervor that they castigate the entertainment industry, and for the same reasons.
Ideas have consequences, and hatred is an idea with dire consequences.
