By Michael Brown, The Stream - As a colleague within the organization explained to me, a key decision-maker told him that if they became publicly associated with me, then LGBTQ+ activists might target them for criticism and attack. And so, although they respected me and agreed with my position on these issues, appreciating the way I had handled the culture wars, they didn’t want a target on their backs... When my colleague informed me about this, I replied, “If they don’t have a target on their backs, they’re doing something wrong.”
