Sun-Times’ Neil Steinberg’s Non-Rational Rant About Marriage
If the superficial, silly, ad hominem non-arguments that constitute the sum total of Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg‘s indictment of conservative positions on homosexuality were not so dangerous, they would be laughable.
In a rant in the Sunday Feb. 14 Sun-Times, Mr. Steinberg describes opposition to faux same-sex marriages and civil unions as “sick,” “twisted sexual” obsessions, “creepy, fixated” fundamentalism, “religious prejudice,” “intolerant,” and “inhuman.”

Tribune Article Fails to Address the Purpose of Marriage
Chicago Tribune reporter Rex Huppke recently wrote an article titled “Marriage benefits costly for gay couples” in which he addresses the economic costs for gay partners to legally protect their relationships.

IFI Joins Multi-Group Press Conference to Address McDonalds’ Selective “Diversity” Policy
The McDonald’s Corporation has recently joined and contributed $20,000 to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, a radical homosexual activist organization working toward homosexual “marriage.” In so doing, McDonald’s has taken a public position on a very divisive issue– a position with which the majority of Americans disagree.
The Illinois Family Institute (IFI) believes that McDonald’s vigorous support of the NGLCC undermines essential societal institutions– particularly, the natural family– while violating the deeply held convictions of many. Through both funding and corporate policies, McDonald’s affirms and supports radical and culturally divisive anti-family principles.
In a recent letter, McDonald’s …
