What happened to IGF this past week? The short version: we were hit with a "denial of service attack," a blizzard of unauthorized traffic that pushed us over our bandwidth limits and knocked us out. We're now back on a temporary server and hope to stay in business while we recover. Thanks for coming back to see us!
Special thanks are owed to Mike Airhart, Walter Olson, Jonathan Rauch, and others for their efforts and support.

Peering into the Void.
IGF's co-managing editor Jonathan Rauch, author of the new book Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America, was interviewed earlier this week by radio host/Denver pastor Bob Enyart. As Jon puts it, "Ya gotta hear it to believe it."
If you can find humor in the vast mindlessness of the anti-gay religious right (Enyart, I'm told, is a Christian Reconstructionist) then enjoy this encounter at http://www.kgov.com/bel/2004/20040409-BEL072-24k.mp3 as "Bob Debates Homosexual Jon Rauch."
Another Example of 'Family Values'.
Anti-gay, anti-abortion leader Randall Terry of Operation Rescue
writes
in an op-ed that he has a gay son who, after spilling the beans
to "Out" magazine, is no longer welcome in the Terry home. As
Andrew Sullivan and others note, this is just one more example
of how homophobia wrecks families. Growing up gay in the Terry
household, it's no wonder the kid is "troubled."
