Has GLSEN Gotten the Family Research Council to Admit It Was Wrong?
The Family Research Council appears to have made a rare concession that it was spinning a falsehood about gay people.

A "documentary" by the organization had alleged that the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network was printing how-to guides on gay sex and hookups. Bloggers disproved the tale. And GLSEN fought back by sending a cease-and-desist letter threatening legal action if the video wasn't removed from YouTube and no longer sold via FRC's website.

Since then, it appears the original was scrapped by FRC earlier this week. The audio for the YouTube video has been replaced with music, and a red box overlaid on top of the video asks readers to "Click here to view updated video: Does GLSEN Really Keep Kids 'Safe?"

The new video starts in Washington, D.C., with a revised introduction from Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. The phrasing walks a careful line to avoid pretending GLSEN printed and distributed the "Little Black Book" pamphlet, which is actually a guidebook for people over the age of 18 created by the AIDS Action Committee to help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

1. Lying sacks of crap admitting that they lied?
not in this life.

They base their beliefs on desire. They desire that GLSEN be a corrupting influence so that reality will match their beliefs. They can't admit that they were wrong because they believe they are right despite reality.
