The red-caped loons of the Society for the Defense of Tradition have posted another clip of their street demonstration in Maryland earlier this month. While it certainly may be satisfying to see passersby curse and flip off these nutters, this clip is also instructive on how NOT to behave in the face of such asshattery. Do not ever touch another …

“People are being attacked for taking positions that do not support sexual behaviour between people of the same sex. When they express their moral beliefs or beliefs about human nature … they are stigmatised, and worse — they are vilified, and prosecuted. These attacks are violations of fundamental human rights and cannot be justified under any circumstances. States can and …

“While American forces bomb away at Libya, the Obama administration is launching another global offensive: Operation International Tolerance. As he looks on from South America, the President put troops on the ground today for a meeting of the U.N.’s Human Rights Council, where his diplomats plan to strong-arm other countries into embracing homosexuality. In a major U-turn from the Bush …

“In December 2008, the outgoing Bush administration opposed a French resolution at the U.N. General Assembly on the issue of homosexual rights because it feared that the loosely worded document might make it difficult for American states to reject gay marriage. The Holy See concurred, saying that terms like ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ were contentious because they ‘find no …

“The congressmen who introduced this bill are claiming rights that don’t exist. There is no right to same-sex ‘marriage,’ and they seek to confuse people by using language like that. Every time that marriage has come up for a vote in a state, that state has protected marriages between one man and one woman. So when you look at how …

Gay porn researcher Peter LaBarbera will hold a two day conference where anti-gay Christian haters will discuss how they can get people to stop calling them anti-gay Christian haters. Said Americans For Truth president Peter LaBarbera: “This is the second of dozens of Truth Academies that we hope to hold across the country. I recently went undercover at a huge …

“If you’re born a male or a female, then you should remain a male or a female on your birth certificate. It’s actually quite deceptive — and it shouldn’t be legal to be able to have a birth certificate that has you identified as one sex when you’re really another sex altogether. I don’t know why we need to have …

“After swearing on a Bible to uphold the law and defend our Constitution, he’s made a shocking move: he unilaterally decided to no longer defend our country’s Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, which is the federal law that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. DOMA was passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority and signed into law …

It’s still technically illegal to be gay in Montana, thanks to their GOP-led House Judiciary Committee which today voted down a bill which would have brought the state in line with the Supreme Court’s landmark 2003 ruling in Lawrence Vs. Texas. Somebody needs to orchestrate an arrest by a gay-friendly cop and then sue the fuck out of Montana, pronto.

“Fortunately, Republican leaders understand that there are plenty of reasons to stick up for DOMA. Defending marriage is not only in the nation’s cultural interest–it’s in our economic interest. A few years ago, Georgia State University put together a cost analysis of marital breakdown. By their calculations, America spends $112 billion a year just from divorce and out-of-wedlock births. That’s …

According to Pastor Cary Gordon of the anti-gay Cornerstone Outreach, Iowa’s voters need to go to the ballots to “faithfully choose the same religion-sanctioned state our insufferable political enemies refuse to acknowledge.” Cuz if you don’t, the loving and almighty Jeebus is gonna kill the fuck out of you. They really need some new material. Starts at 14:00. (Via – …

A florist in New Brunswick has refused to provide flowers for a gay wedding because she “must respect her conscience before God.” After agreeing to provide the flowers for a wedding, Kim Evans of Petals and Promises Wedding Flowers sent an email last month to the couple, saying she didn’t know it was a same-sex wedding and would have no …

“Early on, a pro-family group made an effort to pull all the Maryland groups into a ‘coalition’ under a unified leadership. They would dictate strategy. They also insisted that the pro-marriage message be tightly controlled, that it be ‘moderate’ and not anti-gay or otherwise ‘fringe’ sounding, be calm and not too emotional, and that they decide who testifies at the …

Good As You points us to more bigotry at yesterday’s anti-gay marriage rally on the steps of the Iowa capitol building.

Last week the Los Angeles Times revealed that thrice-married serial adulterer Newt Gingrich had arranged for $200K in donations to unseat Iowa’s pro-gay state Supreme Court justices. Now it’s been learned that Gingrich sent $125K of that money directly to the anti-gay hate group, the American Family Association. Gingrich, the former U.S. House speaker who has aggressively courted the conservatives …

Raymond Berry, one of the organizers of London’s coming and first-ever East End Pride parade has resigned after being exposed as one of the founders of the English Defence League, a radical anti-Islamic skinhead group renowned for violent street clashes at its protest marches. East End Pride formed last month ostensibly in response to stickers which warned gays to “fear …

The choir at California’s famed Crystal Cathedral is being asked to sign an anti-gay statement or they’ll be booted from the group. And that has some choir members very unhappy. Former and current choir members say they are particularly offended by a statement in the document that refers to homosexuality. Long-time church members say this is the first time they …
