frontlash
A swell of support for a proposal that counters any backlash.
In his keynote, John Paul Hudson condemned the "glossy commercialism" of David Goodstein and the Advocate, which he said was part of a gay media "backlash" -- while the anti-gay "frontlash" against gays continues.
Where it comes from
Blend of front + backlash, coined by US president Lyndon B. Johnson with regard to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The word is still mainly used in reference to that Act.
