The double standard in the [[liberal media]] is obvious.  For example, when someone who is heterosexual declares to be a homosexual, it's top of the news; when someone prominent converts to heterosexuality, there is barely a word about it.  The same applies when someone who once considered themselves Christian no longer does, the news makes headlines, but if an atheist converts to Christianity, the reverse will only be known in Christian publications (and sometimes not even then)
