Yesterday I reported that the Texas GOP has tentatively removed the “worst” of the anti-gay language from its 2014 party platform. Today the Houston Chronicle reports on an addition to that platform: “We recognize the legitimacy and value of counseling which offers reparative therapy and treatment to patients who are seeking escape from the homosexual lifestyle. No laws or executive …

Evan Gahr writes at Daily Beast: Dr. Ben Carson, the Republican right’s favorite African-American neurosurgeon, often says that President Obama’s health care law is the worst thing since slavery. But in my recent interview with the good doctor—who is riding high in the presidential preliminaries, having come in a close second to Sen. Ted Cruz this past weekend in the …

“Congress does not grant tax-exempt status to organizations that are racially discriminatory such as the Klan.  Every church and every Catholic or Protestant hospital will lose its tax (exempt) status. There is no restricting once it happens. This has effects that I can’t even contemplate at this time. If people simply think that the so-called same-sex marriage is just a …

“If you can’t beat ’em, smear ’em. That seems to be Media Matters’s far-Left M.O. for intimidating people who make compelling cases for conservatism. Its latest target? FRC’s Ken Blackwell. In an interview last week, Ken talked about the latest shooting spree at the University of California and pointed back to the ‘crumbling of the moral foundation of the country’ …

“Not only has the Christian baker been ordered to ‘cease and desist’ from ‘discrimination’ against gay couples, but he and his staff have been ordered to undergo two years of ‘training’ to assure that no further ‘discrimination’ occurs. The baker must report quarterly to the state Civil Right Commission about how it is changing its policies, its “training” progress and …

Crazy Eyes, Mat Staver, Todd Starnes, and “Bishop” Harry Jackson are among the evangelicals and anti-gay crackpots who plan on descending upon DC next month to get their “Christian rights” back.  Among the sponsors: World Net Daily and the Gun Owners Of America. At least they’ll get a bigger crowd than Operation American Spring. The event was promoted yesterday with …

“It won’t change the price of gas, but it may comfort you to know that at ExxonMobil, your business isn’t fueling radical pro-homosexual policies. Despite outside pressure, ExxonMobil is holding the line on its workplace ethics — a 17-year streak that remained intact after last week’s shareholders meeting. In a corporate environment that seems to be dictated by pro-homosexual progressives, …

“Slavery, by definition, is involuntary servitude. It is being forced to provide labor or produce a product against one’s own will. When a man is forced, under threat of being sent to jail, to do work that he would not do unless he was compelled to do it, he is no longer a free man but a slave. We fought …

“In America, we don’t separate a person’s creative expression from what he believes. Jack simply exercised the long-cherished American freedom to decline to use his artistic and creative talents to promote a message with which he disagrees. Because the government should not force him to choose between his faith and his livelihood, we are considering an appeal to the Colorado …

Breaking news from the ACLU: The Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled that a Lakewood bakery violated the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act by refusing to sell a wedding cake to a gay couple, because of the owner’s personal religious beliefs. At a public hearing today, the commission rejected the bakery’s appeal of an earlier finding of unlawful discrimination by an administrative judge. …

“In the strict sense of the term, it is not ‘sexual’ activity at all. The functional difference that distinguishes one sex from the other quite literally has nothing to do with same-sex activity. That activity abstracts from the functionally defined difference in order exclusively to focus on bodily feelings and emotions that are important to the individuals involved, but that …

The Daily Beast points out that early this month Kirk Cameron refused to condemn same-sex marriage in an interview with an Alabama newspaper. Kirk Cameron, the teenage heartthrob turned Christian Right entrepreneur, the man who once called homosexuality “detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization,” has recently changed his tune. He said in an interview …

Saenz is the head of Texas Values.

“Even though no reference to ‘homosexual,’ or any of the rest of the Alphabet Soup Perversity Brigade is mentioned in the legislation, homosexual activists are still waging war against the new law. Now, they have created window stickers for businesses that state, ‘We don’t discriminate. If you’re buying, we’re selling.’ The sticker has a rainbow-colored line running through its center. …

“Can five words change the outcome of a radical measure in Houston? Locals hope so. When openly lesbian Mayor Annise Parker said, ‘This debate is about me,’ she may have been the undoing of the very ordinance she’s fighting for. Under the watchful gaze of the rest of the country, America’s fourth largest city has been locked in a vicious …

“We are asking Justice Kennedy and the U.S. Supreme Court to take the step of staying the decision of Judge McShane so that NOM can pursue its request to intervene in the case in order to mount a defense of the people’s vote for marriage. This case is an ugly spectacle of the state refusing to defend the sovereign act …
