“Dear Friends, I’ve never written a letter to Everyone In The World before. I’m writing to tell you that I’m gay. [snip] You probably know this already, but I’m celibate, because I’m Catholic. You will not hear me talking about When Oh When Will The Church Get With The Times, because that kind of talk is boring nonsense. Guys, the …

John Aravosis tips us to the latest photos from France’s Hommen, which (as we’ve seen many times) believes that the best way to protest against gay marriage is to gather a bunch of fit, young shirtless men and have them climb all over each other.  Less amusing in the Hommen’s latest slideshow is the lineup of toddler “mini-hommen” with anti-gay …

Joining today’s anti-gay march in Paris was the Civitas Institute, a group that demands a Catholic theocracy for France.   According to Civitas, President Francois Hollande is a “puppet of the Freemasons.” They were followed by members of the extreme-right Nationalist Youth (above), a division of the National Front party, whose leader Marine Le Pen praised the Notre Dame suicide of …

Somehow this is important enough for their YouTube channel.

“At a bare minimum, the [marriage] legislation should be amended to provide all the provisions of the Corvese amendment to our civil union law and to ensure that individuals, small businesses and religious-based charitable and educational groups are not targeted by government or others with lawsuits, fines, denials of contracts and other forms of punishment for refusing to accept this …

The red-caped Catholic loons of Tradition, Family, & Property are very upset about a new Broadway play about the BVM.

“A key teaching of Christianity is to hate the sin, but love the sinner. We incarcerate convicted persons for their crimes, not out of hate for the individual. But with Whatcott, the Supreme Court of Canada has stated that criticism of behaviour can be treated as potentially hateful speech against the minority. Will criticism of activities at gay pride parades …

“We found out earlier this year or last year in the primaries, when the Republicans made contraception an issue, that 98 percent of Catholics use birth control. Apparently, the only ones who don’t are the priests. Oh, they would if altar boys could get pregnant.” – Bill Maher, speaking last night on the Conan O’Brien Show.  Maher’s joke has predictably …

It is not without meaning that Senate …

Does it matter what Griffin did? To put it more generally, does what we see and hear have any effect on our behavior, particularly the behavior of young people? Does it …

“So in this, my final column, I say my farewell to optimism and my hello to hope. What is the difference? Optimism is a prediction; hope is a virtue.
