A federal judge ruled Wednesday against two Hawaii women who want to get married instead of enter into a civil union, handing a victory to opponents of gay marriage in a state that's been at the forefront of the issue.I seem to recall the KKK is a "Christian" group too, so does AP plan on calling them simply a "Christian group" in the future? Is Al Qaeda a "Muslim group"?
U.S. District Court Judge Alan C. Kay's ruling sides with Hawaii Health Director Loretta Fuddy and Hawaii Family Forum, a Christian group that was allowed to intervene in the case.
I'm not suggesting that the religious right is the same as Al Qaeda (though they are, like the Klan, officially designated hate groups). I am saying that when a good writer labels a far-right activist organization "a Christian group," it misinforms its readership and slurs all Christians. AP was being sloppy. And they're AP - they don't get to be sloppy.
