“We’ve seen a rash of these rulings in recent weeks, all making the same errors about binding Supreme Court precedents relevant to marriage and all issued by activist judges bound and determined to redefine marriage in defiance of thousands of years of human experience. These egregious decisions by unelected judges throwing out the votes of millions of Americans have been …

The article is authored by hate group leader Austin Ruse, who delivered a 2012 CPAC speech in which he denounced the United Nations for opposing the gay death penalty.

“I have long been opposed to gays marching in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Fifth Avenue. It isn’t because my father was a past national president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, which ran the parade for a century and started the rule that no gays need apply. Faith and begorrah, heaven knows I have nothing against gays. I …

Brian Brown has written a curiously homoerotic denouncement of the US House candidacy of San Diego homocon Carl DeMaio. It begins: Dear Marriage Supporter, It’s a beautiful summer day in southern California. Throngs of people line streets as paraders march by. They include transvestite brides (men in wedding gowns) who strut their stuff. Nearby a float with bare-chested, heavily muscled …

After a long, long unbroken string of crushing defeats all over the country, the National Organization for Marriage says it is working on filing a lawsuit in an attempt to force a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage onto this year’s public ballot in Indiana.  NOM and other hate groups were humiliated earlier this week when the Indiana Senate failed pass …

“We are very disappointed that both the House and Senate amended the resolution as passed by the legislature in 2011 and removed the second sentence. This was a clear betrayal of the people of Indiana, 80% of who believe this issue should be on the ballot this year. Nonetheless NOM will continue to work with local and national allies secure …

“In Indiana, while the process is still not complete, it looks like the people have been betrayed by weak willed politicians. Despite 80% of the voters wanting the right to vote on marriage and despite years of promises, the Indiana legislature chose to ‘kick the can down the road’ by not restoring the ‘second sentence’ to the proposed Indiana Marriage …

In September the virulently anti-gay World Congress of Families will hold its convention at the Kremlin. Via press release: World Congress of Families VIII with the theme “Every Child A Gift: Large Families, the Future of Humanity” will be held in Moscow, September 10-12, 2014 to gather all people of goodwill who affirm the natural family as the fundamental institution …

The Italian Senate is considering an expansion of its hate crimes laws to include LGBT citizens. This week the new Italian wing of France’s neo-Nazi affiliated Manif Pour Tous held a rally in protest. Via the anti-gay LifeSiteNews: A large rally was held in Rome against the bill organized by the recently formed Manif Pour Tous Italia, a civil liberties …

“One word describes the indecent play: blasphemy. Blasphemy is not free speech. Defamation is not artistic expression. The Most Fabulous Story Ever Told is a twisted version of the Bible story told from a pro-homosexual perspective and doesn’t belong in any theater. It begins with scenes of ‘Adam and Steve’ expelled from a Garden of Paradise with full frontal nudity …

We’re still wondering why Brown and NOM failed to participate in last week’s social media fundraising campaign for Peters’ medical care. According to his blog, they raised $60K. Not incidentally, Peters’ follow-up tweet to this one links to a Catholic Vote story about Bishop Thomas Paprocki’s gay marriage exorcism in Illinois. An excerpt from Paprocki’s words: The work of discouragement …

I was looking for news coverage of this afternoon’s signing ceremony and came across the below clip, which I somehow missed when it went up three weeks ago.  But since we’ve already won, that makes this clip damn enjoyable to watch today.

“Dear Joe, The ball is in our court. Same-sex ‘marriage’ activists have launched an unprecedented assault on marriage over the past 12 months. And in that time, we’ve seen some terrible losses for this cherished institution. But the truth is that these radicals targeted the most liberal of states — states like Illinois and Hawaii where the political situation was …

“The massive tornadoes that hit Illinois after the passing of the same sex ‘marriage’ bill, has stimulated many people to reflection. In it, some see God’s chastisement; others see it as yet one more merciful warning from Providence; others yet deny both options and give various reasons. What do you think? [JMG: Link goes to this bit.] God punishes collective …

Via press release: The EU is currently facing many challenges and its popularity among the European citizens is not at its highest peak. Promoting an agenda based on lifestyle choices that clearly divides …

Oh brother. Watch this and be amazed as the entirely Catholic NOM plays Hawaiian music, talks about “our people,” and uses the Hawaiian word for children, “keiki.”

“This past Monday, NOM launched a major statewide television advertisement campaign designed to educate and mobilize marriage supporters throughout the islands. We’re also phoning tens of thousands of marriage supporters in Hawaii to urge them to contact their state representatives. We’ve had to virtually empty our coffers to take these steps, but we are determined to do everything possible to …

Another poll has revealed how out of touch the Catholic leadership is with their congregants. A majority of Catholics in the United States who attend Mass weekly support same-sex marriage and the ordination of women to the priesthood, according to a Quinnipiac University survey released October 4. The survey found that 56% of Americans, 53% of Catholics who attend Mass …
