“The New England Patriots announced they will be the first NFL team to sponsor a ‘Gay Bowl.’ They’re sponsoring Gay Bowl 17, which is a national championship tournament for LGBT flag football teams.

From Monica Cole, as predicted ten days ago: The newest Liquid-Plumr commercial includes men and women with their pants sliding down exposing way too much of their backsides. No one wants to see this. Reports from consumers have stated that even children find the commercial disgusting. It is not only tacky and obscene but also plays into a stereotype of …

Kyle Mantyla reports at Right Wing Watch: On her radio show today, the American Family Association’s Sandy Rios dismissed reports that Republican congressional candidate Greg Gianforte assaulted Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs yesterday, despite audio of the altercation and several eyewitnesses, saying that the entire thing “sounds very grade school playground-y” and lamenting that men no longer just settle things by …

Last month the SPLC mentioned ex-gay torture leader Greg Quinlan as being among the speakers at an event staged in opposition to GLSEN’s annual campaign to stop the often-violent bullying of LGBT kids.

Just in from hate group leader Monica Cole: Help us stop “Claws” from ever airing! On Sunday, June 11, at 9:00 p.m. ET/8:00 p.m. CT, TNT network will televise an extremely graphic and blasphemous program like none we have ever seen. The trailer appears to be a trashy show about a nail salon and how they launder drug money, but …

Via press release from hate group leader Tony Perkins: Yesterday, the U.S. Embassy in Macedonia posted this on Twitter: “We’re flying the rainbow flag today to commemorate the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, & Biphobia.” This kind of activism is hardly likely to endear our country to the Macedonians. The former Yugoslav republic is facing a political crisis in the …

Last week a Kentucky appeals court ruled that it’s legal to refuse to serve LGBT customers in the name of Jesus. American Family Association radio host Bryan Fischer reacts: For the government to force someone to do work that violates his conscience is nothing less than tyranny.

Last year Catholic League blowhard Bill Donohue blew more than $100,000 with a full-page New York Times ad in which he denounced ABC/Disney’s The Real O’Neals and compared one of the show’s producers, Dan Savage, to David Duke. Today Donohue finally got his wish when the show was not picked up for a third season. ABC has cancelled family sitcom …

From the Family Research Council’s prayer of the day: Lord, Obergefell v. Hodges was an assault upon Your institution of marriage, the cornerstone of society.

Right on screeching cue. Via email from One Millions Moms: Kraft Macaroni and Cheese has decided to recognize mothers in the most bizarre way this Mother’s Day. Kraft is following a trend in crude commercials and decided to air a commercial that includes foul language or bleeping and similar sounding substitute words instead of curse words. Most companies are honoring …

Via press release from hate group leader Tony Perkins: If the Target corporation is imploding, then it’s going down in a rainbow blaze of glory.

Via email from hate group leader Tony Perkins: What does evolution theory have to do with the Army? A lot, if you want to be the branch’s secretary.

Back in early 2016 the SPLC filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against the New Jersey-based ex-gay torture group People Can Change, alleging that the group’s practices constitute consumer fraud.

Anti-LGBT activist Ryan T. Anderson wails for the Heritage Foundation: President Donald Trump said he’d promote commonsense policies that would “Make America Great Again” and would stand up to politically correct bullying from the left.

Just in from hate group leader Brian Brown: President Trump has repeatedly promised that he would do everything in his power to protect the religious liberty of people of faith and faith-based groups.
