“Back in November of 2013, Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie called a special session to legalize same-sex ‘marriage, instead of giving voters a voice. Rather than put the issue on the ballot, as thousands of people asked for, he fast-tracked the bill through the legislature.

Deviance! Perversion! Unnatural desires!

“We are of course disappointed with the Ninth Circuit’s decision today. The Ninth Circuit did not reach the appeal of the denial of motion to intervene, holding instead that even if NOM had been allowed to intervene on behalf of its members (including Oregon voters, wedding services providers, and a county clerk), it had no standing to appeal the judgment …

Today the Australian Senate formally condemned the anti-gay World Congress of Families, which has been booted out of four venues and has not yet disclosed where they might hold this weekend’s convention. The motion was moved by Queensland Greens Senator Larissa Waters and was agreed to on voices with minimal dissent. “The World Congress of Families is responsible for spreading …

“You can’t put the laws of gravity on trial. Such laws are what they are. Marriage is what it is. It is part of the natural creation, male and female, moms and dads. They form the first foundation of government and provide the best environment in which to raise boys and girls to be men and women. When judges begin …

“Diversity, as the first syllable in the word implies, divides. It does not unify. It fractures, debilitates, and diffuses. Energy that could be harnessed through unity of purpose and values is frittered away. America became the greatest nation the world has ever known – freer, stronger, more prosperous, more stable – for one reason: an unshakable commitment to common core …

Things have gotten worse for the World Congress of Families, an international coalition of anti-gay groups.

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch: On today’s edition of the “700 Club,” a viewer told Robertson that her 13-year-old step-son, who “lives with his mother most of the time,” has “crushes on boys” and wanted the televangelist’s help. Repeating the myth that homosexuality is the result of a lack of parental bonding, Robertson said “his attraction is now …

Aided by Sen. Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, and the Benham brothers, the Family Research Council is glomming onto the bicentennial of the writing of the Star-Spangled Banner as one of those times that Jesus saved America.

CNN reports: A Missouri police officer involved in maintaining security in troubled Ferguson was put on administrative leave Friday after a video surfaced showing him railing about the Supreme Court, Muslims, and his past — and perhaps, he said, his future — as “a killer.” The officer, Dan Page of the St. Louis County Police Department, became something of a …

“The people’s voice and vote need to be respected to preserve the rule of law. Judge Hinkle assumes that the marriage debate will disappear – the same wrong conclusion made in 1973 by the judges who imposed abortion on demand. However, Judge Hinkle can’t erase the reality that children need a mom and dad. He also can’t wish away the …

“People ask me, are you on the wrong side of history? To me, this issue will never be on the wrong side of history because it’s rooted in the human experience. A little boy who longs to have a father in the inner city – that will never be on the wrong side of history. The little girl who has …

The same high production standards that go into Eugene Delgaudio’s placards and banners are on display in this poorly edited and sound-borked clip about evil gays taking all them there religious liberties away. But hey, this is “Draft 1” according to the title.
