Permission for the monument had been granted as a settlement for a lawsuit objecting to a Ten Commandment monument already on the site. American Atheists, a New Jersey-based group, erected a 1,500 pound bench with quotes from various historic …

I missed this during last week’s hoopla. General Mills has come out in support of the gay community for Pride, and what better way to show their love than with the Lucky Charms marshmallow rainbow? The “magically delicious” cereal is serving as the face of the new #LuckyToBe campaign which encourages people with Pride to tweet and post online their …

“If you think that things couldn’t get much worse out of Washington, imagine what it would be like with Kamala Harris as US Attorney General or, God forbid, a member of the US Supreme Court. What would she do with the power of those two offices when we’ve already seen her utterly abandon her sworn oath of office, willingly manipulate …

Invited speakers include Crazy Eyes, who would presumably bring Ladybird.

An update of the 1978 Tom Robinson classic. Watch this.

Formerly with the virulently anti-gay Coral Ridge Ministries, hate honcho Robert Knight is now with the laughably-named American Civil Rights Union.  Today he is calling for southern California to break away from the dirty gay-loving northern half of the state.  From the Moonie Times: By accusing backers of traditional marriage of being motivated only by animus against homosexuals, the U.S. …

“He knew the target was gay, and threatened to beat him up, and urged others – up to a million others who follow his tweets – to beat him up. Why, I wonder, has Baldwin not been arrested? In my view, George Stark should press charges. Bigoted bullies like Baldwin need to know that their stardom (and their ‘liberal’ past) …

Sending out Happy Canada Day wishes to our more enlightened neighbors! We make a lot of fun of you, but we not-so-secretly also want to be you. Have a great 146th birthday, you don’t look a day over 29.

“In light of the court’s rulings in support of civil marriage for same-sex couples, Florida should begin to evaluate the decision that was made five years ago. The path to removing our state’s ban on the freedom to marry will be very challenging, and will take time to do so thoughtfully and with respect for everyone’s beliefs and opinions. It …

“When you have a state where the House leadership is performing a homosexual act on the front page of the Denver Post two months ago? Does God read the Denver Post? Do you think He picks up a copy of the Denver Post? He gets it. God gets the Denver Post. How are we going to repent of the sexual …

It’s not happening in a million years, but the dough WILL roll in. Screencap by former NOM employee Louis Marinelli.

Dance diva and Broadway star Deborah Cox preceded Cher at last night’s NYC Pier Dance, where she wowed the crowd with about a dozen of her biggest dance hits.  Partial set list: Absolutely Not, Things Just Ain’t The Same, Nobody’s Supposed To Be Here.

The photos above are from where Dr. Jeff and I were in the backstage area last night, where we could see Cher’s giant teleprompters, which not only scrolled the words to her hits, but included stage directions. Tell the truth (point, point), This is a woman’s world (four fist pumps), This is a woman’s world. I’m not convinced that the …
