The Bird That Sleeps Late Doesn't Get Shit (or Something Like That)

How pissed off is Mark Benjamin today?

One day after the Times writes a story tagged, "Gay Teenager Stirs a Storm," an extensive look at "religion-based program[s] intended to change the sexual orientation of gay men and women... Often called reparative or conversion therapy..." -- Salon publishes Mr. Benjamin's article, "Turning off gays."

Here's how Salon describes it in the Editor's Note:

This is Part 1 of a four-part investigation into the Christian netherworld of "reparative therapy," a disputed practice to convert gays and lesbians into heterosexuals.

It's always painful to get scooped by the Times, but, man, it's got to be doubly (quadruply?) insidious on a four-parter. Better luck next time!
