Wayne Besen is a homosexual activist.[1]
In April of 2009, Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth wrote:
| “ | How fascinating that Wayne Besen (left) is given the opportunity to appear on FOX News, of all places [this YouTube clip features Besen whining about a hilarious Snickers ad that was pulled], to critique alleged “homophobic” attitudes and speech toward homosexuals — when he has such a well-deserved reputation for being one of the nastiest “queer” activists in the business.[2] | ” |
Previously, Peter LaBarbera had written various criticisms of Fox News coverage of the homosexuality issue.

In July of 2009, an alleged homosexual penguin in a California zoo was debunked. Peter LaBarbera reported:
| “ | San Francisco’s Fox affiliate KTUV reports: “The San Francisco Zoo’s popular same-sex penguin couple has broken up.
“Male Magellan penguins Harry and Pepper have been together since 2003. The pair nested together and even incubated an egg laid by another penguin in 2008, but their relationship hit the rocks earlier this year when a female penguin, Linda, befriended Harry after her long-time companion died. “Zookeepers say Harry and Linda are happy and were able to successfully nest this year,” reported KTUV.  In July of 2009, an alleged homosexual penguin in a California zoo was debunked.[3] But not everyone is celebrating Harry and Linda’s newfound love. Some believe there can be no such a thing as an “ex-gay” penguin. Upon news of Harry’s decision to fly the same-sex-coop, outspoken pro-homosexual activist and anti-ex-gay crusader Wayne Besen cried fowl: “Attempts to change sexual orientation are patently offensive, discriminatory by definition, theologically shaky, uniformly unsuccessful and medically unsound!” exclaimed a visibly angry Besen. “There is no ‘ex-gay’ sexual orientation. Harry is simply in denial. He’s living what I call the ‘big lie.’”[4] |
