From the Family Research Council’s just launched petition against the NBA: North Carolina is a beautiful state to visit and a wonderful place to live and work. The recent hypocrisy of organizations like the NBA and some large corporations over North Carolina’s bathroom privacy and government overreach protections (HB2) is unfounded and unnecessary. The government should not criminalize people who …

American Family Association radio shrieker Sandy Rios appeared on Alan Colmes’ show yesterday to continue her attack on the son of the Khans.

The American Family Association has launched a petition to Congress to stop the US Navy from naming a ship for Harvey Milk.

Two weeks ago the Family Research Council abruptly withdrew its support for the so-called First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) because of new language that also legalizes discrimination against married straight couples on the basis of “religious belief or moral conviction.” Last week the Liberty Counsel did the same. Today the American Family Association becomes the third anti-LGBT hate group to …

A few days ago we learned that the US Navy will name a new ship after Harvey Milk. Last night hate group leader Tony Perkins issued a wailing press release which concludes with a call for his followers to deluge Congress with complaints.

“If you are so concerned, Mr. Khan, if you’re an American first, then distinguish yourself and condemn Islamists, condemn the Muslim Brotherhood, then we will listen to you, and stop waving the Constitution. As far as I can tell, Islam, truly, supporters of Islam and the Quran, cannot embrace the Constitution. Now, if you have a different view, then explain …

In recent weeks both the Family Research Council and the Liberty Counsel have angrily withdrawn their support for the so-called First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) due to recently-inserted language that also would legalize discrimination against straight married couples on the basis of “religious belief or moral conviction.” But not NOM, who have completely hung their hat on FADA since they …

Tony Perkins is ever so pissed that the Democratic Party platform does not endorse discrimination in the name of White Jesus.

Last week a recently launched animated series on Nickelodeon featured a married gay couple and One Million Moms is predictably quivering with rage. From the AFA’s OneNewsNow: A children’s TV network made dubious history last week, airing the first animated show featuring a “married” same-gender couple. And one organization is working to do something about it. After The Loud House …

Most of us would object to homocon Peter Thiel being characterized as pro-gay. Just in via press release: Last night, I could hardly walk 20 feet on the convention floor without being stopped by a reporter.

Last night homocon billionaire Peter Thiel, who has declared that democracy and capitalism are incompatible, dismissed the GOP’s most anti-LGBT platform in history as unimportant. Which it totally IS if you are a white male homocon billionaire. As repulsive as Thiel’s politics are, the upside of his appearance last night is that the haters are absolutely livid. Case in point, …
