News Corp.-Owned Paper Runs Anti-LGBT Article

A Daily Telegraph article involving an Australian couple allegedly dressing their adopted son as a girl is short on details but long on accusations.

The story alleges that a "lesbian" couple dressed their 6-year-old adopted son as a girl and then posted "humiliating" pictures of him on Facebook. The article then states the couple is actually a transitioning transgender man and a woman.

The boy, known as Campbell, has been removed from the home. The Sydney-based Daily Telegraph, owned by conservative Rupert Murdoch, then uses incendiary language to paint the parents as monsters.

"The children's story, described as one of the saddest in the state, has been revealed in a Supreme Court judgment posted last month in Children's Law news compiled by the [New South Wales] Children's Court," according to the article, which doesn't say anything about physical, sexual, or emotional abuse of the boy.

The piece also quotes a court magistrate who was quoted as saying, "Oh my God, what are we doing?" in regard to allowing the boy to be adopted by the transgender man and his female partner.

The Telegraph article, which has been picked up by several outlets, has attracted dozens of reader comments describing gays and transgender people as "abnormal" freaks out to "brainwash" children.
