Brian Williams is seen in this video clip saying "...in an era where marriage is under attack".

Is he referring to gay marriage or the heterosexual divorce rate? A gay commenter on the site says that the phrase is definitely anti-gay  code.  

Here's what the author of the post says:

"...even if the gays are not the specific destructive force to which Williams or his writer are referring in this intro, the hyperbolic idea that this institution is being "attacked" is one that is most often associated with anti-gay marriage campaigns. So at best, this was bad news writing; at worst, it's a prominent journalist and news outlet taking some irresponsible rhetorical bait. Either way, we're less than thrilled."

And this:

A prominent newsman uses wording that's popular with right wing anti-gays: That's the story here. 

On the MSNBC site yesterday, Brian Williams said this:

My meaning?  Our national divorce rate, which is currently somewhere between 40 and 50 percent. Others took it upon themselves to decide that I was somehow attacking gay marriage. The simple fact is that nothing could have been  further from my mind, as many others easily understood.

He's a network news anchor. He should have been more careful, seeing as that phrase has been and could be interpreted as anti-gay.
