His sunday editorial "We show tolerance to 'gays' and get tyranny in return" was accompanied by this image:
According to the editorial, the man in the image was beaten by robbers. However nothing in the article (except Hitchens' imaginary "insane, sex-obsessed Stallinist state") links the robbery to homosexuality in any way. His blatant propagandistic message of hate reveals itself to be sheer paranoid lunacy. He goes on to cite the usual intolerant claptrap, blaming gays for the woes of modern society. I just feel sorry for the young LGBT people out there who are exposed to such bigotry and think the world is like that.
Thank goodness the online version had the picture placed a more reasonable distance from part about gays.
