If I were plotting to lead large numbers of Christian youth to their damnation, I would aim for something a bit more consequential than a single issue of Teen Vogue—with all respect for its circulation numbers. I mean, I would try for systemic corruption. It might be possible, for example, to render Christian teaching about sex so shrilly ridiculous that it provoked widespread ridicule.

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…epentance, this would be the time, Mr. Cohen. One commenter on the Advocate.com’s Web site, Edward from Boston, makes a good point – Cohen had the opportunity, not just to disavow this legislation, but to do more to stop it: … the obvious question was: would he file a complaint with the Ugandan government for misusing his work to justify the potential killing of gays?

Jack Jenkins points out that she’s given variations on this response before, but that’s sort of the point. In less assured hands, it would come across as scripted, rote.
