Of course it is. The interview was either one of two things—an attempt to examine/understand the Salvation Army's position or an attempt to embarrass the Salvation Army. The former is the usual purpose of an interview, but the latter seems to be what was going here.
My problem is that this seems to be an incompetent interview (or a set-up) of an incompetent media director who either can't articulate the Salvation Army's actual position or can't recognize when words are being put in his mouth, all followed by news reports that mischaracterize what was actually said. No where does the (stupid) SA representative say gays "need to be put to death."
Like I said, I'm not defending the Sally Army's position on homosexuality. I just prefer to see it taken on honestly.
