Catholic Leader Calls for Gay Blog’s Dismissal

News and entertainment blog Towleroad, along with feminist blog Bitch Ph.D., have been condemned by Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League. “Towleroad describes itself as ‘A Site with Homosexual Tendencies,’” Donohue wrote. “Accordingly, it shows men in jock straps and underwear. It also has a post on Pope Benedict XVI that takes him to task for wearing a cape with ermine. Some of those who commented on this described the pope in a vile and profane way.”

“Both of these blogs should be cut immediately from the list of credentialed sites,” Donohue said. “Neither functions as a responsible media outlet and both offend Catholics, as well as others.
