Is advocate.com Safe?

Terribly intrusive cookies and trackers that they make you jump through hoops to reject. You have to go down a list and opt out of probably a hundred different data farming trackers and cookies. If you want your data farmed and sold to big corporations and politicians, this is the website for you. Would highly recommend not using it, but if you absolutely must read their articles, use a site container or incognito window.

Kurt • on WND “So many gay couples display more loving characteristics and healthy relationship practices than most traditional marriage couples,” he said. Tell us about it, Dannyboy. Judith Reisman, PhD, compared 10,000 personal ads that ran from 1988 to 1992 in the Washingtonian (a mainstream magazine with a mostly straight readership) and the Advocate (a gay periodical), which have nearly identical reader age and economic demographics. She found 98% of Advocate advertisers were seeking casual sex. Among the Washingtonian personals, 87% wanted long term fidelity. Common abbreviations in the Washingtonian included "S" for single, "J" for Jewish, and "NS" for non-smoking. In the Advocate, common abbreviations were "B/D" (bondage and discipline), and "S/M" (sadomasochism). Others in the Advocate presented themselves as "daddies" in search of "sons". Real loving and healthy, Dan-o. Sounds more like Mr. Haseltine has adopted the lifestyle.

I am all for expressing opinions and debating ideas, but this site uses a lot of demagoguery (exploiting peoples' emotions) and largely misrepresents others' ideas to attack them (straw men). One noteworthy example is the chronic offense of calling traditional marriage advocates "homophobes." Usually this attack is targeted against Christians because of its large influence. This is egregious on two counts: 1) It presupposes all traditional marriage advocates are "scared" (-phobia) of gay people. 2) It stereotypes Christians as idealistic ad hominem bigots even though the Bible says to love everyone regardless of their ideas and moral offenses. To put it bluntly, there is a large distinction between inclusive Christian love for homosexuals and Sharia capital punishment for homosexuals. Grouping them (and many others) together is willfully deceitful and divisive.
