Hate Groups

Via email from hate group leader Mat Staver: Although the House passed the “Respect for Marriage Act” with a 258-169 vote that included 39 House Republicans, this action is a strategic blunder by advocates of same-sex marriage. Rather than a victory, the “Respect for Marriage Act” will make easier the argument to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 5-4 opinion …

The Washington Post reports: A restaurant in Richmond last week canceled a reservation for a private event being held by a conservative Christian organization, citing the group’s opposition to same-sex marriage and abortion rights. “We have always refused service to anyone for making our staff uncomfortable or unsafe and this was the driving force behind our decision,” read an Instagram …

Semafor reports: Call it a crisis of faith. Despite appointing the conservative judges who ultimately overturned Roe v. Wade — and fervently courting the religious right during his presidency — prominent evangelicals are beginning to shy away from supporting former President Donald Trump’s third bid for office. A major factor is the same issue driving leaders in other parts of …

Via email from hate group leader Mat Staver: The House Rules Committee will meet to vote TONIGHT on HR 8404—the bill that enables pedophile “marriages” to children and codifies same-sex marriage, even as it SHOWS DISDAIN to religious freedom. Soon-to-be-replaced House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in a hurry to pass this bill before she must pass her gavel to the …

The Washington Post reports: The Supreme Court’s conservative majority seemed sympathetic Monday to an evangelical Christian graphic artist from Colorado who does not want to create wedding websites for same-sex couples, despite the state’s protective antidiscrimination law. Those justices seemed amenable to businesswoman Lorie Smith’s argument that the state may not compel her to create speech that violates her religious …

Via email from hate group leader Brian Brown: As you know, 12 Republican Senators dedicated to the radical LBGT agenda just voted with all the Democrats to pass a bill in the Senate that would impose same-sex ‘marriage’ on every state in America. The bill now heads back to the House of Representatives, where back in July it passed a …

Reuters reports: The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday will hear arguments in a major case pitting LGBT rights against a claim that the constitutional right to free speech exempts artists from anti-discrimination laws in a dispute involving an evangelical Christian web designer.

The Associated Press reports: An Ohio school says an internal dispute over security prompted a last-minute cancellation of a weekend children’s storytelling event featuring performers in drag amid a planned protest by a far-right group. The Red Oak Community School’s “Holi-Drag Storytime” event was to have been held Saturday morning at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbus, where the …

NBC News reports: A conservative evangelical Christian who opposes same-sex marriage and runs a business in Colorado designing websites, including for nuptials, Lorie Smith sued the state because she would like to accept customers planning opposite-sex weddings but reject requests made by same-sex couples wanting the same service. Smith has not been sanctioned for refusing to design such a website …

Via email from hate group leader Mat Staver: On Tuesday, all the Democrats and 12 Senate Republicans bowed to the LGBTQ political thugs and passed a bill that will allow the Department of Justice (DOJ) as well as private individuals to sue religious institutions and people of faith. Now HR 8404 returns to the U.S. House where we have another …

From the American Society for the Defense of Tradition: Hallmark will release a homosexual “romance” on December 11. The film, titled Holiday Sitter, will center on a male homosexual babysitter, who ends up “falling in love” with another homosexual in the neighborhood. Although the Hallmark Channel has included LGBTQ characters in its films, this is the first one to feature …

Via email from the American Family Association: This bill will empower extremists to sue, intimidate and silence anyone who disagrees with their personal views about marriage. This bill is not about legalizing same-sex marriage. Every state already recognizes same-sex marriages and accepts same-sex marriage licenses issued by every other state. The real purpose of this bill is to weaponize federal …

Via press release from the Heritage Foundation: No American who believes in marriage as the union of one man and one woman should be persecuted by the state or radical activists for their sincerely held convictions. Members of Congress who voted for this bill and claim to support religious liberty are either naïve or don’t understand the laws they are …

Via press release from the Alliance Defending Freedom: This dangerously cynical and completely unnecessary bill is a direct attack on the First Amendment. It does nothing to change the legal status of same-sex marriage anywhere. But it undermines religious freedom everywhere and exposes Americans throughout the country to predatory lawsuits by activists seeking to use the threat of litigation to …

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: On Tuesday night, the U.S. Senate passed the so-called “Respect for Marriage” Act which critics say invites “predatory lawsuits” against people of faith, stigmatizes biblical values, and drives Christians from the public square. Although nearly all Senate Republicans voted for amendments demanding greater respect for religious liberty, 12 Republicans voted for the …

Via email from hate group leader Brian Brown: The US Senate just passed the (Dis) Respect For Marriage Act. This bill would imposes gay ‘marriage’ on every state in the nation. The twelve Republican voted against their own party platform and the traditional understanding of marriage. The bill now heads to the House. While the House passed the measure with 47 Republicans …

Politico reports: The Republican National Committee is launching a review of the party’s performance in the midterm election and bringing on a team of outside advisers to help guide strategy, as the GOP reckons with its disappointing performance in the election. The RNC is tapping nearly a dozen people to serve in what it’s calling a “Republican Party Advisory Council” …

Posted today to Franklin Graham’s Facebook page: It is very disappointing that these 12 Republican senators would side with the Democrats and ultra-liberal Senator Chuck Schumer to put the vast majority of Americans who believe in and support marriage between a man and a woman in jeopardy. The deceptively-named Respect for Marriage Act that Senator Schumer is trying to push …

Via email from hate group leader Mat Staver: On MONDAY, senators are scheduled to vote on a sickening bill that will normalize child-bride, same-sex and pedophiliac “marriages” in every state. Several amendments will be debated, and then the Senate will need another 60 votes to proceed. We can stop HR 8404 if we let the Senate hear from us NOW! …

Colorado Springs’ CBS affiliate reports: Vandals defaced a sign outside a local Christian ministry Thursday, accusing the organization of complicity in the horrific massacre at an LGBTQ+ nightclub.  “Their blood is on your hands.
