Catholic League blowhard Bill Donohue melted down over Arizona this morning on CNN. Donohue began by accusing President Barack Obama’s administration of “encroaching on the rights of people of faith” in a variety of areas. “Gays as individuals, I’m with you on that Chris, let’s protect them in the workplace, let’s protect them as individuals,” Donohue insisted. “What my concern …

“This ruling by a federal judge, invalidating Texas’ ban on same-sex marriage, is a troubling display of judicial activism. Our Constitution leaves it to the States to define marriage, and unelected judges should not be substituting their own policy views for the reasoned judgments of the citizens of Texas, who adopted our marriage law directly by referendum. The court’s decision …

“I feel like ‘embattled’ or ‘disgraced’ will always follow my name. It’s like that black football player who recently came out. He said, ‘I just want to be known as a football player. I don’t want to be known as a gay football player.’ I know exactly what he’s saying. I’m fighting to get my name back.” – Paula Deen, …

Here’s a very important bit of news we missed amidst all of yesterday’s hoopla. A federal judge said Wednesday afternoon that he would issue a final order within 24 hours requiring Kentucky to immediately recognize same-sex marriages performed outside the state. In response, lawyers for the attorney general’s office told U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II at a hearing …

“We’ve seen a rash of these rulings in recent weeks, all making the same errors about binding Supreme Court precedents relevant to marriage and all issued by activist judges bound and determined to redefine marriage in defiance of thousands of years of human experience. These egregious decisions by unelected judges throwing out the votes of millions of Americans have been …

Remember this guy? The Daily Mail tabloid reports: Kessler reached a settlement with Gilberton last week that pays him $30,000 and allowed him to retire from the force. The former officer and his attorney, Joseph Nahas, said he signed a development deal with Relativity Media, the production company behind such reality TV fare as ‘The Great Food Truck Race’ on …

Kohn was a Fox News contributor until last fall. Now she’s at CNN. Her Wikipedia page currently includes this bizarre hack: “She is the oldest sister of progressive commentator Bill O’Reilly.”

The article is authored by hate group leader Austin Ruse, who delivered a 2012 CPAC speech in which he denounced the United Nations for opposing the gay death penalty.

A San Francisco woman claims that she was assaulted by bar patrons who were angry that she might be recording them with her Google Glass.  Slocum called the incident “the weirdest event,” claiming that several people at the bar were “showing animosity” towards her, at which point she turned on the video. She also says that other bar patrons were …

Chris Geidner reports at Buzzfeed: The fight to win marriage equality across the nation has in recent months become nearly as much a fight about which lawyers and organizations will get to be the ones making the arguments before the Supreme Court — and taking credit for a win. Now, that fight is breaking out into the open. On Wednesday, …

This aired last night before Brewer’s veto.

Last month six Florida gay couples filed a lawsuit against that state’s Amendment 2, the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage approved by voters in 2008.  Yesterday the Liberty Counsel, which authored Amendment 2, filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit. Via press release: Mathew and Anita Staver, Liberty Counsel’s Chairman and President, respectively, drafted Amendment 2 and successfully defended …

“I appreciate the decision made by Governor Brewer to veto this legislation. I hope that we can now move on from this controversy and assure the American people that everyone is welcome to live, work and enjoy our beautiful State of Arizona.” – Sen. John McCain, via press release.

Just a little bit obvious, huh? Source.

Yep. Still funny.

“This marks a sad day for Arizonans who understand and cherish religious liberty. Opponents were desperate to distort this bill rather than debate the merits. Essentially, they succeeded in getting a veto of a bill that does not even exist. When the force of government compels one to speak or act contrary to their conscience, the government injures not only …

Campbell, you should ALL remember, was a fiery and passionate defender of our people when the bill was being debated on the Arizona House floor. He is being term-limited out of office this year and many thought him to be a top Democratic prospect for governor, but several months ago he said would not run.
