From the Associated Press: Georgia’s business community and other opponents of a bill protecting those who object to same-sex marriage called Thursday for Gov.

Today’s exercise in loony tunes Christianist logic comes, as it so often does, from American Family Association nutjob Bryan Fischer.

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The Georgia Legislature over the course of a few hours Wednesday unveiled changes to a controversial “religious liberty” bill and gave it final passage, setting off a collision course with corporate leaders and gay rights advocates over charges that it would legalize discrimination in Georgia.

Moments ago the Kentucky Senate voted 22-16 to approve a bill which would overturn all local LGBT rights laws in the state. Cities with LGBT protections include Covington, Danville, Frankfort, Lexington, Louisville, Midway, Morehead, and Vicco.

Watch live here. Just in from Fairness Kentucky: Senate Bill 180, Senator Albert Robinson’s “License to Discriminate,” is set for a vote by the full Kentucky Senate this afternoon.

Right Wing Watch has the quote: “The person responsible for fomenting political unrest is not Donald Trump,” Starnes said, “It’s President Obama.

Let’s talk about Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, and Trayvon Martin. President Obama is the …

Concerned Women of America head Penny Nance today endorsed Ted Cruz. You may recall Nance for her reasonable declaration that Disney’s Frozen is a threat to “real masculinity.” Or her SCOTUS brief which claimed that gays are too powerful to be discriminated against. Or her call to keep kids out of school on the Day Of Silence, which is really …

Late yesterday afternoon the Missouri Senate advanced GOP Sen. Bob Onder’s anti-LGBT bill to the state House.

Rats. I rather preferred his dad’s term: “sodomite blasphemer.” Anyway, I’m continuing to get pulled into nutjob Christian infighting.
