Minnpost’s David Brauer notes that the Star Tribune’s Katherine Kersten will have less writing space in the state’s largest paper. Kersten’s columns will appear only twice a month starting next year. That’s half the anti-gay animus that Minnesotans have become accustomed to.

For a primer on Kersten and her antipathy toward the LGBT community, here are her greatest hits from the last 12 months:

Gay-marriage efforts build, ominously: If it becomes the law of the land, expect wide-ranging consequences. July 17, 2010:

“In its early years, the gay-rights movement marched under the banner of tolerance. No more. Activists are demanding conformance with and approval of their agenda, and are punishing those who dare to disagree.”

This year, the family is on the ballot: Minnesota’s choice for governor will determine marriage’s fate in this state. October 9, 2010:

“Same-sex marriage supporters try to exploit Americans’ goodwill. They know people don’t want to be against “equal rights,” or to be labeled a bigot or hate-monger. But support for traditional marriage has nothing to do with such things. It’s about doing all we can to ensure that as many children as possible have what they need and deserve — a mother and a father.”

Problems with Prop 8 ruling? Where to start: The judge showed contempt — and may have had a conflict of interest. August 14, 2010:

“In fact, Walker may have his own private reasons for overturning Prop 8. He is “openly gay” and “attends bar functions with a companion, a physician,” the Los Angeles Times reported last month. If Walker is in a stable gay relationship, he has a personal interest in gay marriage that may legally disqualify him from ruling on Prop 8.”

[Editors note: One could ask Kersten whether all conservative Christian justices should recuse themselves from gay marriage cases.]

That’s a funny way to show tolerance: Supporters of gay marriage are quite willing to bully on behalf of their cause. January 17, 2010:

“Has the Ku Klux Klan returned? Are neo-Nazis or fundamentalist right-wing hate groups on the rise?

Guess again. This is the work of a sizable number of activists who have decided that any bullying, brown-shirt tactic is fair game in their battle to impose gay marriage on America.”
