NOM chairman Brian Brown rarely responds to anybody on Twitter, but this morning he couldn’t resist the above image posted by activist Scott Wooledge, who was reacting to a screed posted yesterday by Brown on NOM’s blog.

“The New York Times and the media are widely reporting the results of a new study of 500 children raised by same-sex couples.

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch: Tony Perkins invited Fox News’ go-to-Christian-persecution-commentator Todd Starnes to join him on the weekend edition of “Washington Watch,” where Starnes pointed to recent remarks by Rick Warren and Russell Moore warning of the imminent imprisonment of Christians in America as proof that Christians will indeed soon face jail sentences.

It took NOM more than two days to publicly react to the Kentucky ruling.

According to Heyburn, there is an “utter lack of logical relation between the exclusion of same-sex …

Todd Starnes writes at Fox News: The folks in Montpelier, Vermont will have to find someone else to pick up trash after their Fourth of July Parade. It seems the Boy Scouts won’t be volunteering this year. And they won’t be selling bottled water either. The Boy Scouts bowed out after city council members criticized the group’s ban on gay …
