Cruising is not a Sex Act as KTVB Channel 7 recently reported. Cruising is an activity aimed at capturing the attention of someone of the same sex. It can lead to a sexual encounter, but it can also be a non-verbal way to communicate to others that they are not alone. In the 1970s, gay [...]

This incendiary reporting of a non-news story was not limited to only KBCI. The same arrest took on an entirely different scope and scale from the NBC affiliate, KTBV Channel 7. Channel 7’s exploited the incident with inflammatory coverage that started with Olin then launched into unrelated issues seemingly aimed at promoting misinformation and loathing of gay men.

I answered my cell and on the other end was Mike Butts from the Idaho Press Tribune wanting a comment. Having been out of the Idaho loop for a week I was unaware of the news. Butts informed me that Bryan Fischer was closing up shop and moving to Mississippi to do a radio show. Apparently funds had dried up and Fischer was moving on.

It should come as no surprise that Bryan Fischer, executive director of the non-profit “organization,” Idaho Values Alliance, which consists only of himself, is once again being reckless with the facts.
Fischer’s desperate attacks against LGBT people are practically a daily obsession that could easily be dismissed as ridiculous were it not for his malicious tone.

Idaho’s chief CEO of lies and misinformation about LGBT citizens is none other than Bryan Fischer, the pitchman for the so-called Idaho Values Alliance. Fischer’s talent for garnering easy access to the Idaho news media to sell his poisonous product rivals any Wall Street crook with a Ponzi scheme designed to separate grand mom from her life savings.

Bryan Fischer, head of the Idaho Values Alliance, is modifying his snake oil salesman act since PrideDEPOT.com exposed his con game. Now Fischer is using The Statesman’s pages as a platform to promote more half-truths and contemptuous anti-gay rhetoric. But this website will not let him go unchallenged.
