Earlier this month, I noted the massive ideological disparity in WashingtonPost.com online Q&As over the previous three months -- the Post hosted nine conservatives and only two liberals during that time.

On Friday, the Post added another conservative to the list -- Family Research Council senior fellow Peter Sprigg, who discussed his opposition to President Obama's extension of hospital visitation rights to same-sex partners. The Post also hosted a Q&A with a Human Rights Campaign staffer who supported the decision, an all-too-rare attempt at balance from the Post.

But the Post's decision to host Sprigg is alarming nonetheless. See, Peter Sprigg says “gay behavior” should be outlawed. And Sprigg has said “I would much prefer to export homosexuals from the United States than to import them into the United States because we believe that homosexuality is destructive to society.”

It seems safe to assume the Washington Post would not provide a forum to someone who says the practice of Judaism should be outlawed, or that he would prefer to “export blacks from the United States.” So why does the Post host anti-gay bigot Peter Sprigg?
