Carlos Maza writes at Equality Matters: More than 32,000 people have signed a petition asking CNN to stop hosting anti-gay hate group leader Tony Perkins to speak on behalf of America’s Christians following Perkins’ appearance on the network to discuss the Supreme Court’s recent marriage equality decisions.  Just minutes after the Supreme Court struck down Section 3 of the Defense …

“How many of you would feel comfortable dropping off your kids in a school that encouraged faculty cross-dressing? At least three Senate Republicans would. Today, those leaders — Sens. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), and Lisa Murkowski (R-Ak.) — threw their support behind a bill that would force sexual confusion on almost every classroom, day care, and summer camp …

Yesterday, flanked by several of the most anti-gay members of Congress, hate group leader Tony Perkins held a press conference to launch a new website in support of Rep. John Fleming’s defense spending bill that would prohibit punishing soldiers for harassing gay troops on the basis of “sincerely held religious beliefs.”  No actual mention of gay military members was made …

Politifact ripped to shreds Tony Perkins’ claim on Face The Nation that business are being forced to serve gay customers. We didn’t find cases where people were forced to participate against their will. However, if vendors refuse service, there are consequences. There are 21 states that forbid discrimination based on sexual orientation. Vendors who refuse service there could face legal …

“The ugly side of ‘tolerance’ was on full display last weekend in Seattle when a mob at the city’s ‘gay pride’ event ganged up on two Christian street preachers and brutally attacked them. As FRC knows all too well, this isn’t the first time homosexual activists have used violence to try to silence and intimidate Christians. Apart from the August …

The logo for this weekend’s Family Research Council event is causing a bit of snickering.

This morning Yes On 8 seemed resigned to Prop 8’s demise. The Family Research Council, however, is clinging to the belief that its repeal will be tied up in the courts for years.

“By a single vote, five unelected justices determined that they know better than God and struck at the heart of marriage in America. It was a powerful rebuke of a law FRC helped develop, the Defense of Marriage Act, but not the final blow. Fortunately, conservative leaders across our country aren’t about to let that happen. In interview after interview, …

“There will no longer be a special category for these 15 states — many of which are now at the forefront of elected minorities! From now on, these regions will have the same equal opportunity to define their voting laws as anyone else. For too long, states like Alabama, which brought the lawsuit, have been prisoners of history. Instead of …

“After months of holding our breath, the two sides of the marriage debate will finally be able to exhale when the U.S. Supreme Court finally rules on the institution next week. The decisions, two of the biggest in our lifetimes, may fundamentally alter marriage in law, but regardless of the outcome, no court can ever alter marriage. This week, 211 …

In anticipation of the coming Supreme Court rulings, a coalition of Christianist and anti-gay hate groups have jointly issued yet another blah blah fucking blah blah declaration that they will never bow to Obama’s police state and obey laws regarding same-sex marriage. An excerpt: Experience and history have shown us that if the government redefines marriage to grant a legal …

Jeremy Hooper reacts at Good As You: MSM reporters tend to act like the Duggar story that the TLC network has been airing for years is just a homespun tale of family values when, in fact, the family is quite politically active with rabidly anti-LGBT groups. That last part seems to get either completely overlooked or mentioned in passing. FRC …

“After two decades of debate, the legislation has new legs under President Obama, who said earlier in the month that the Senate needs to get the measure ‘done now.’ Like most liberals, Harry Reid disguises the bill as an anti-discrimination policy when in fact, the bill itself discriminates against men and women who oppose cross-dressing or blatant homosexuality on the …

This weekend the Family Research Council would like all Christians to pray that soldiers are allowed to abuse gay troops in the name of Jesus, that the Supreme Court rejects same-sex marriage, that the Boy Scouts fall apart, and that self-hating gay people become brainwashed. And also, apparently, that there will be more scandals for the Obama administration.

“President Obama can’t veto the First Amendment, so he’s doing the next best thing: refusing to let his troops exercise it. In his most combative move yet, the administration warned Congress yesterday that it strongly opposes Rep. John Fleming’s religious freedom amendment, which sailed through the House Armed Services Committee with bipartisan support. Now, the administration is taking its spite …

The Family Research Council always screams that Christians are definitely not anti-gay, but instead are pro-family, pro-God, or pro-religious freedom. Somebody slipped up last night.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has issued a statement about the South Carolina public high school student who recited the Lord’s Player during his valedictorian address. The Freedom From Religion Foundation is placing the blame for a string of problematic religious violations in Pickens County schools, Pickens S.C., upon its prayerful Board of Education. [snip] “The valedictorian who so insensitively …

“Fortunately, Congress is as frustrated with the hypocrisy as the rest of us. Yesterday, thanks a marathon mark-up on the Defense Authorization bill, sleepy members didn’t make it home until 2 a.m.– in part because they were so intent on passing a series of religious protections. Rep. John Fleming (R-La.), the author of one such amendment, urged his colleagues to …

“If the President doesn’t respect America’s views on marriage, what makes us think he would respect other countries’? Certainly not his latest USAID project. In April, to relatively little fanfare, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) embarked on one of the most shocking abuses of taxpayer dollars in the last five years. With help from the Levi Strauss Foundation …
