Dan Savage notes that the bizarre Christian group Repent Amarillo is staking out a Texas swingers club and calling the employers, employees, and families of its patrons in order to wreck their jobs and home lives. You might recall Repent America, their parent group, for their call for a boycott of Houston due to their newly elected lesbian mayor. In …

“Rosa Parks did not move to the front of the bus to support sodomy. There is no difference between a black person and a white person other than their skin color when there’s a tremendous difference between a man and a woman. Allowing a black woman and a white man to marry does not change the definition of marriage. However, …

Saskatchewan’s top court has overturned a ruling against a man who was distributing anti-gay pamphlets, saying there is a difference between hate speech against homosexual acts and condemning gay people themselves.

Here’s the live stream for CPAC 2010, which begins today and will be a wall-to-wall cavalcade of crazy and hate. It looks like the signal will go live at 9:45am with opening remarks from the American Conservative Union, followed by SC Sen. Jim DeMint introducing Marco Rubio, who is running against Charlie Crist for the Senate. Don’t look for GOProud …

World Net Daily columnist Molotov Mitchell says that Uganda has it right, the Bible clearly calls for homosexuals to put to death. If gay Ugandans don’t like that, they can just leave. And that America’s Founding Fathers had it right too, because was a death penalty for gays in the original colonies. Mitchell says that by being willing to kill …

Here’s another instructive video from Rob Tisinai. In this one he deconstructs the Christianist lies about Uganda’s “kill gays” bill.

The Texas State Board of Education is easily the most influential group in the nation when it comes to the subjects studied in public schools. Their recommendations directly affect the make-up of the textbooks sold to school systems all over the country. Naturally, therefore, Christianists and assorted wingnuts fiercely lobby the TSBOE, including from within, to ensure that American kids …

“The national government will maintain and defend the foundations on which the power of our nation rests. It will offer strong protection to Christianity as the very basis of our collective morality.

The state House, conflicted by emotion and election-year politics, voted yesterday to indefinitely postpone action on a civil-unions bill. The voice …

For weeks now, we’ve been inundated with Christianist propaganda about how Tim Tebow’s mother made the Godly moral choice not to abort her son. Only now it turns out that the Tebows were living in the Philippines during her pregnancy. The Philippines, where abortion was and is illegal. Gloria Allred is on the case. In her exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com …

The anti-gay American Center For Law & Justice has opened a branch in Kenya, another ominous indication of the Christian right’s continuing push to demonize gays in Africa. From their site: The Christian response to all that is happening [in Kenya] has been ad hoc and reactionary. This has seen several laws passed that eroded the value system that we …

“Here’s the question I keep asking myself about the Uganda controversy: just what is it that qualifies the United States of America to lecture the Ugandans about homosexuality? Is it our public policy that enshrines immoral sexual behavior (oops: “sexual orientation”) and gender confusion (er…”gender identity and expression”) as a “civil right”? Is it our homosexual “marriage” laws that make …

Because God Is Love, American soldiers are using rifles with Bible verses engraved on the scopes. The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers.

In response to the attempt to televise Perry vs. Schwarzenegger, Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council has issued a typically bombastic press release citing 16 pages of harassment Christians suffered at the hands of same-sex marriage proponents during the 2008 Prop 8 campaign.

Last month we learned that Uganda, where being gay can already bring a life sentence, was considering a death penalty for homosexual acts in certain situations. The proposed new law is now before Uganda’s parliament. Life imprisonment is the minimum punishment for anyone convicted of having gay sex, under an anti-homosexuality bill currently before Uganda’s parliament. If the accused person …

A coalition of leaders from numerous Christian denominations have issued The Manhattan Declaration, a manifesto declaring the intent to disobey any laws that force them to recognize same-sex marriages.

Oklahoma state Sen. Steve Russell (R) plans to submit a bill that would authorize the state to opt out of the recently passed Matthew Shepard Act. Because it discriminates against the right to hate queers and would hinder the prosecution of corpse fuckers.
