Hate group leader Scott Lively appeared on NPR yesterday to defend his campaign against LGBT people around the world. An excerpt: MARTIN: Well, you know, this law, though, has been denounced by the United Nations, by U.S. officials, including the Secretary of State and the president. A number of European nations have said that they’re suspending aid to the country …

“As a gay conservative woman, I supported Arizona’s religious freedom bill, which was just vetoed this week by Gov. Jan Brewer. I supported it because it embodied the values every American civil rights movement stood for: the freedom to live our lives without being punished for who we are. In this case, it was a bill making sure people of …

Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips wants Arizona to know that they are now the slaves of homosexuals and leftists. The left and the homosexual lobby in America went into overdrive to kill this bill. Conservatives rallied for this bill and Governor Brewer opted for cowardice instead of courage. Why is this bill so important and what did it mean …

From an unsigned post published today to NOM’s blog: Yesterday, Governor Brewer of Arizona vetoed the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act,” a bill similar to one stalled in the Kansas legislature. The rejection of these pieces of legislation by conservative politicians is very disappointing. If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years from witnessing the redefinition of marriage in several …

Radio host David Pakman writes us: Dr. Paul Cameron of the Family Research Institute said today that he not only favors the Ugandan anti-gay law which indicates prison as a punishment for homosexuality, he added that he consulted with Ugandan officials on the law, and that he would be open to the idea of the death penalty as a punishment …

Last month six Florida gay couples filed a lawsuit against that state’s Amendment 2, the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage approved by voters in 2008.  Yesterday the Liberty Counsel, which authored Amendment 2, filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit. Via press release: Mathew and Anita Staver, Liberty Counsel’s Chairman and President, respectively, drafted Amendment 2 and successfully defended …

“This marks a sad day for Arizonans who understand and cherish religious liberty. Opponents were desperate to distort this bill rather than debate the merits. Essentially, they succeeded in getting a veto of a bill that does not even exist. When the force of government compels one to speak or act contrary to their conscience, the government injures not only …

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer will tonight hold a nationally televised press conference at 7:45PM Eastern. Watch live here. UPDATE: And the bill is VETOED. 

“This ruling by unelected federal Judge Orlando Garcia is the most egregious form of judicial activism of our generation. This hollow victory and clear attack on morality and the rule of law will not stand in Texas. The fight for marriage is far from over. This is just the beginning of an epic battle that the Texas people will ultimately …

“No one can be intellectually honest and claim that the original Constitution, or even the 14th Amendment in 1861, was intended by the people to give homosexual couples the right to marry. The lawyers for the homosexual couples said they wanted to remove the stigma from homosexuality. For a large portion of the American people, there will always be a …

“The state of Texas is the latest victim of a judicial free-for-all in making a lawless mockery of the ideals that our Founding Fathers stood for. A court-imposed redefinition of marriage strips away the fundamental right to self-governance. This is not just an attack on marriage, but an attack on the rule of law. It is not the role of …

Nolte is a columnist for Breitbart.

The American Family Association is very upset that Arizona-based PetSmart has come out against the hate bill. If the AFA is going to stage one of their boycotts, it’ll be interesting to see which of the dozens of major anti-SB1062 corporations that they target.

Via press release from the National Center for Lesbian Rights: Late Tuesday, attorneys for three couples challenging Utah’s ban on marriage for same-sex couples filed a brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, urging the court to uphold a lower court’s December 2013 decision finding the ban unconstitutional. On December 20, 2013, U.S. District Court …

“GoDaddy strongly opposes Arizona Senate Bill 1062. As a company we honor and believe in the equal rights for all people, regardless of age, color, disability, national origin, race, religion, or sexual orientation. We believe this proposed legislation would have far-reaching negative consequences on the state and the companies that do business here, and would wrongly send a message that …

“While I respect the right of sovereign nations to legislate sexual morality according to their own cultural standards, I believe the Ugandan anti-homosexuality law takes the wrong approach in dealing with simple homosexuality (as opposed to pederasty and the other sub-categories of ‘aggravated homosexuality’ in the bill). [snip] That having been said, I commend Uganda for removing the death penalty …

“Holder’s comments are an insult to his office and the office of 50 other men and women who took similar oaths. If the Attorney General can pick and choose which laws to uphold, then can the rest of us pick and choose which laws to follow? Can we pick and choose which taxes we’ll pay? If the Left follows this …

Mediaite recaps the mayhem: Crossfire got really heated up Tuesday over the Arizona bill that would allow businesses to refuse service to LGBT individuals. Van Jones posed a provocative question to former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli: “What is the difference between a business owner saying no blacks are allowed here versus no gays are allowed here?” Cuccinelli dismissed the …

The Georgia House was supposed to hear an Arizona-style hate bill today, but it was put off until tomorrow and now that’s been canceled. The House version of the bill might be dead for the current legislative session. Critics of House Bill 1023, or The Preservation of Religious Freedom Act, say it would allow private business owners to cite their …
