Since Washington Times is apparently an approved source for editorials on DU
Here's some of what they say about the "homosexual agenda," courtesy of Media Matters:

Comparing Prop. 8 judge to Emperor Nero just the latest in Wash. Times' anti-gay assault
The Washington Times has an extensive history of promoting anti-gay smears, falsehoods, and distortions. In the latest example, the Times compared Judge Vaughn Walker, who found California's Proposition 8 unconstitutional, to "brutal" Roman Emperor Nero, writing that Nero, "like Judge Vaughn, wanted the community to embrace his unnatural way of life."
http://mediamatters.org/research/201008090068

Wash. Times criticized Hillary Clinton for working "diligently to further the homosexual agenda in the State Department."
http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtontimes.com%2Fnews%2F2010%2Fjul%2F15%2Fobamas-homosexual-muslim-conflict%2F

Wash. Times attacked Obama White House for "actively attacking the foundations of the traditional family to cater to a handful of extremists."
http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtontimes.com%2Fnews%2F2010%2Fjul%2F27%2Fobamas-assault-on-marriage%2F

Wash. Times claimed that "radical leftists" in the Obama administration are working to "reshape conceptions of the family."

Wash. Times warned of a possible gay "assault upon traditional norms and values."
(The Washington Times, 7/25/01, retrieved from the Nexis database)

Wash. Times lauded Boy Scouts of America for refusal "to bend to passing fancy, i.e. the embrace of open homosexuality."
http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Farchives.cnn.com%2F2000%2FLAW%2F06%2F28%2Fscotus.gay.boyscouts%2F

Wash. Times praised Boy Scouts as "one of the last remaining bastions of American culture that has not bowed to the gay agenda."
(The Washington Times, 6/30/00, from Nexis)

Wash. Times claimed promoters of purported "gay agenda" were using military issue to force "public support of the gay lifestyle."
(The Washington Times, 3/21/93, from Nexis)

Wash. Times op-ed writer emphasized supposed risk of assaults, misconduct posed by allowing open military service by gay men and lesbians.
http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtontimes.com%2Fnews%2F2010%2Ffeb%2F01%2Fdanger-to-discipline%2F

Wash. Times falsely suggested children raised by two heterosexual parents "perform better" than those raise by gay or lesbian parents.
http://mediamatters.org/research/200910290021

Wash. Times editorial: "Discrimination is necessary."
http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtontimes.com%2Fnews%2F2010%2Fapr%2F23%2Fdiscrimination-is-necessary%2F

Wash. Times claims Kagan memo on same-sex marriage puts her "to the left of legal and moral tradition."
http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtontimes.com%2Fnews%2F2010%2Fjun%2F8%2Fkagans-full-faith-in-same-sex-marriage%2F

Wash. Times falsely claimed GLSEN "allowed bar guides to be handed out to high school students."
http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtontimes.com%2Fnews%2F2009%2Fdec%2F11%2Fcruising-gay-bars-with-the-safe-schools-7926662%2F

8. Yes. That would be the one.
Part of the "new rules" for the Obama Administration is that sources of Republican Propaganda are now considered reliable sources of news and information.

Just like that nice Ms. Coulter. And she's such a looker, don't you think?

4. Don't forget Murdoch Journal, Fox "News"

7. I can't remember ever reading anything from that source
that I would consider posting here. The Washington Times is inaccurate, unreliable, and unabashedly on the right.
