“Friends, On Sunday night I was attacked on HBO’s  ‘Last Week Tonight’ a supposed comedy/news show in the mold of The Daily Show. The host is a Brit named John Oliver. I find it funny that lefties like John Oliver who pose as humanitarians are the masters at dehumanizing other people through ridicule and never give the subjects of their …

We all saw THIS coming. Via the Atlantic: A group of faith leaders is urging the Obama administration to include a religious exemption in a forthcoming LGBT anti-discrimination action. Their call, in a letter sent to the White House Tuesday, attempts to capitalize on the Supreme Court case by arguing that it shows the administration must show more deference to …

“Judge Heyburn’s contention that ‘serious people’ don’t support the definition of marriage that has existed for millenia, demonstrates a measure of contempt – for tens of millions of citizens – wholly unacceptable from someone on the bench. On the contrary, it is those like Judge Heyburn, who can conceive of no ‘rational basis’ for distinguishing the type of relationship which …

“For all practical purposes, Judge G. Heyburn has declared martial law on marriage policy in Kentucky. This decision is another indication that we are no longer a nation of laws, but a nation of judges. The judge cited ‘doctrinal developments’ by other federal judges that ignored judicial precedent in favor of traditional marriage laws as a reason for invalidating our …

The World Congress of Families, an international coalition of anti-gay hate groups, will bring its annual convention to Salt Lake City next year. The will be the first US convention for the Illinois-based coalition.

“In this case, the owners happen to be deeply Christian; one wonders whether the case would have come out differently if a Muslim-run chain business attempted to impose Sharia law on its employees. As many have pointed out, Hobby Lobby is the same company that invests in Pfizer and Teva Pharmaceuticals, makers of abortion inducing-drugs and the morning after pill. …

Just in via email: Joe, ABC Family Channel’s new program “Mystery Girls” does not involve innocent detectives fighting crime as parents might hope, but instead is just another show primarily about sexual encounters.

On Sunday a group of Christian protesters disrupted the start of Seattle’s gay pride parade and got in the face of local drag star Mama Tits, who was not having it. Afterwards, she spoke to Seattle Gay Scene: “I saw them coming up the road pre-Parade and looked at Sylvia and DonnaTella and said, ‘Ladies, let’s make a wall!’ Before …

“The implications of this victory for freedom cannot be overemphasized as the decision holds essentially that First Amendment religious liberties are applicable to corporations. It protects those with pro-life views from being forced by the government to be complicit in (pay for or provide) abortion homicide procedures, whether chemical or surgical. There will be much analysis to follow and it …

“The Supreme Court has delivered one of the most significant victories for religious freedom in our generation. We are thankful the Supreme Court agreed that the government went too far by mandating that family businesses owners must violate their consciences under threat of crippling fines.  All Americans can be thankful that the Court reaffirmed that freedom of conscience is a …

The ruling was 5-4 with Justice Alito writing for the majority.

Last night John Oliver devoted his show to Uganda’s anti-gay pogrom and Scott Lively’s role in the brutal crackdown. Getting a mention was the “rainbow belongs to God” song. (Tipped by JMG reader Claudio)

“After 30 days of nonstop, in-your-face celebration, the White House is capping off ‘gay pride’ month with its biggest gift yet. Next Monday, the pot of gold at the end of this President’s rainbow is an executive order giving special workplace benefits to the sexually confused. For the far-Left, it caps off a long fight to get the administration to …

A Christian group plans to invade Twin Cities Pride these weekend with hundreds of members who will cure attendees of HIV/AIDS. Yup. Trinity Works, in coalition with what it says are 30 Twin Cities churches, is planning “Humility 2014,” an infiltration of Twin Cities Pride by outreach workers hoping to convince members of the LGBT community to leave the “lifestyle” …

Earlier this month a Houston anti-gay group called on Christian men to “occupy” the city’s ladies restrooms in order to protect women from the coming avalanche of bearded men in dresses. Or something. Their petition drive to repeal Houston’s just-approved LGBT rights ordinance faces its signature deadline on Sunday. Today Jeremy Hooper tips us to a bizarre radio commercial that …
