“Why does God allow Bill Maher to continue his increasing God-hating comments? He really is tempting God. It’s as if he’s saying, ‘Come on God, I’m saying more and more outrageous things about You—come on—come and get me!’ Bill Maher is blaming God for death because he does not want to accept that he is a sinner in need of …

As I reported two days ago, the billboard for Harlem’s hate church was vandalized after Pastor James Manning posted the message, “Jesus Would Stone Homos.” Manning says he wasn’t surprised. “Gay people are just outright bullies,” he said. “I expected them to act in a very violent way.” The vandal climbed over a fence outside the church at about 12:24 …

“God doesn’t care about Chick Fil A’s profit margins if they come at the expense of Dan Cathy’s willingness to stand up for the truth under pressure. What would it profit Mr. Cathy to gain the whole world (or a few more restaurants on college campuses), if his compromise of Biblical truth today makes him less able to resist the …

If all 300+ million of us don’t drop to our knees, God will totes put America in the Burn Book and the smiting will commence with No Sweatpants Mondays.

The New York Times yesterday explored the vanishing use of the word “homosexual” by almost everybody except anti-gay groups. Consider the following phrases: homosexual community, homosexual activist, homosexual marriage. Substitute the word “gay” in any of those cases, and the terms suddenly become far less loaded, so that the ring of disapproval and judgment evaporates. Some gay rights advocates have …

Unnamed sources tell Buzzfeed that the Obama administration will take four new and immediate steps in reaction to Uganda’s pogrom against its LGBT people.

The office of GOP Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder is ordering state agencies to wait before recognizing the 300+ same-sex marriages that took place on Saturday but the Sixth Circuit Court issued its stay.

The laughing demon cracked me up more than these clips usually do. Clip recap: “The demon of Witchcraft had been in Wanda’s family for more than 100 generations. Bob spoke to an alter-ego of Angry Wanda to resolve her issues of rejection. After that, the demon of Witchcraft lost all legal rights. After the demon’s eviction, Wanda was one happy …

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post does its duty with a panting review which begins: Why are good things seen as bad, and why are bad things seen as good? Greg Gutfeld poses the question and supplies an answer in “Not Cool: The Hipster Elite and Their War On You” (Crown Forum). Gutfeld paints a picture of a coolocracy in which …

Via Gothamist: They had to do it. After Kim Kardashian and Kanye West appeared on the current issue of Vogue, backlash has come from everyone from Sarah Michelle Gellar to Buzzfeed, USA Today reports.

“My grandkids, my children, and their kids are going to be shocked, it shocks the conscious that this very moment in American history, in some states, an employer can fire you just because of who you are, or who you love.  It’s close to barbaric.  I mean think about this, a man, no I really mean this.  Imagine, imagine, 20 …

Famed cartoonist Mark Fiore writes: Since Uganda’s anti-gay law was signed recently, it’s been amusing (and maddening) to watch various religious right characters scurry for cover. When nobody was watching, the holier-than-thou set have been visiting Uganda preaching their extreme anti-gay views. Now that people are appalled at Uganda’s life-in-prison-for-homosexuals law, the “evangelical” right-wing preachers are laying low or rewriting …

Openly gay Rhode Island House Speaker Gordon Fox announced yesterday that he is stepping down from his leadership position and will not seek reelection after the FBI conducted a raid on his home and office.
