I have to call the producers at CNBC’s Capital Report today. When I arrived home to watch the pre-taped show I did last night with Elizabeth Birch of the Human Rights Campaign, she was labeled on screen as “Favors Gay Rights,” while I was labeled as “Opposes Gay Rights.” This is a little like seeing your face with the words “Opposes Clean Air” on it. It’s not like CNBC is alone on this — the major networks (except one) all have this habit of describing social conservatives as “Gay Rights Opponents,” but it’s far too vague and too demeaning, as if I oppose the right of gays to vote or drive or anything else. Birch didn’t get a snippy label like “Favors Smashing Monogamy,” so let’s demand some balance, huh?
