Traditional Values Coalition - Lying About ENDA - Is Lying a Traditional Value?

As the prospect of ENDA becomming a real law nears, the far right has kicked its lie machine into overdrive. 

The delightful folks over at the Traditional Values Coalition are flat out lying about ENDA and they are doing it using the American Psychiatric Association's DSM 4.  For those  who don't know, that is a manual that describes in detail all the varieties of behavior and mental disorders as a way of classifying them for accurate diagnosis.  Unfortunately, a lot of folks who have no business using this book  cherry pick phrases and twist them to their own ends.

Just like the fundamentalists who read only the parts of the Bible that they like, the Traditional Values Coalition has taken parts of the DSM and is using them out of context.  Pam's House Blend has the story.
