[Guy Benson, a conservative pundit and editor on Townhall.com, came out as gay.]

Now I don't know Mr. Benson, and he certainly seems like a particularly nice and friendly individual. But this is not about his personality. It's about politics.

Townhall, by the way, is owned by Salem Media Group, which describes its mission as "targeting audiences interested in Christian and family-themed content and conservative values."

To my knowledge, Salem has yet to explain how paying an openly homosexual activist to be the political editor of its main public policy publication is consistent with this mission.

If Salem leadership is to be at all true to its own mission statement, Benson must be replaced. His values on homosexuality are not Christian, family-themed, or conservative.
