“America was much better off when its businesses routinely posted signs that read, ‘We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone,’ and meant it. After all, they ‘built it,’ and freedom – like the freedom of association – was universally understood to be a natural, God-given right. But now, in our more ‘enlightened’ age, freedom has been squashed in …

“Their agenda doesn’t stop until they are completely dominating anybody who ultimately does not not only agree but promote and affirm their lifestyle. Their agenda will not stop, it will ultimately result in fines and prosecution. This is an intolerant agenda. This is like dealing with terrorists, negotiating with people who have a zero-sum game and they don’t want you …

“The only sensitivity training we need is to respect every person. Tolerance is the most misused word in the English language. Tolerance means you can say really horrible nasty things that I hate and offend me. That’s how we get along. You have a right to be mean — a right to be nasty to people. That’s how this country …

Could this be any more delicious?

AFA of Indiana head Micah Clark was at Gov. Mike Pence’s side when the RFRA bill was signed. Jeremy Hooper reminds us that Clark once suggested that it might be better for children to be drowned than led into a life of “treatable, changeable” homosexuality.

Mediaite recaps this morning’s epic takedown: “There is a picture that’s circulating around of the governor as he signed [the bill],” Cuomo said. “Several of the people in the picture are outspoken critics of gay existence.

As longtime readers know, we have freeped the fuck out of American Family Association polls many times, sometimes forcing them to zero-out the results and start over or take the poll down entirely. But most AFA polls are completely laughable with options that all say the same thing in different ways. As in “Choose one: A) Gay people are going …

The scheduled morning meeting never happened. The House State Affairs Committee is now meeting after adjournment of the full House. Watch it live here. You can see Rep. Cecil Bell above in his cowboy hat. The order of the bills is not known, so the marriage bill may not come up right away. NOTE: This is the original post from …

“As Attorney General of California, it is my sworn duty to uphold the California and United States Constitutions and to protect the rights of all Californians.
