The terrorist group al-Qaeda has come up with another reason to hate the United States and President Obama: support for marriage equality.

The latest issue of Inspire, an English-language magazine produced by the group, has an infographic headlined "The Nation Standing on 'No Values,'" which cites the president's endorsement of equal marriage rights as well as statistics indicating that U.S. Catholics increasingly agree with him.

It also calls former congressman Barney Frank, who is gay, "a symbol of the American dream," something that "appears meant to be insulting," Mother Jones magazine notes.

"Let us all tremble at the thought of the infinite masses who never thought about being a terrorist before they stopped to consider Obama shifting his position on same-sex marriage," Mother Jones observes.

Trudy Ring is The Advocate’s senior politics editor and copy chief. She has been a reporter and editor for daily newspapers and LGBTQ+ weeklies/monthlies, trade magazines, and reference books. She is a political junkie who thinks even the wonkiest details are fascinating, and she always loves to see political candidates who are groundbreaking in some way. She enjoys writing about other topics as well, including religion (she’s interested in what people believe and why), literature, theater, and film. Trudy is a proud “old movie weirdo” and loves the Hollywood films of the 1930s and ’40s above all others. Other interests include classic rock music (Bruce Springsteen rules!) and history. Oh, and she was a Jeopardy! contestant back in 1998 and won two games. Not up there with Amy Schneider, but Trudy still takes pride in this achievement.
