Joseph Farah makes an excellent point above regarding journalist objectivity and homosexual activist journalist given the American media's unwillingness to cover some of the unpleasant [[Homosexuality Statistics|facts about homosexuality]].  For example, John Cloud is a homosexual activist who writes for [[Time magazine]] and wrote the October 10, 1995 cover story for Time Magazine which was entitled “The Battle Over [[Teen Homosexuality|Gay Teens]].”<ref name="trv">http://www.traditionalvalues.org/modules.php?sid=2460</ref>  John Cloud’s article rendered a positive portrayal homosexual teens who are establishing networks of Gay Straight Alliance clubs on campuses all over the United States.<ref name="trv" />  According to the Traditional Values Coalition, most readers of Time magazine were unaware that John Cloud is a homosexual who had previously written for the [[liberal]] Washington City Paper in Washington, DC. about his visit to a "homosexual sex orgy club in Washington, DC."<ref name="trv" />
