Tony Perkins: We Will End Porn

“During last week’s meetings in Tampa, FRC Action made it a priority to insert tough new language on pornography into the GOP platform.

HomoConQuotable – James Kirchick

“In recent years, liberal organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center have termed the Family Research Council a ‘hate group,’ a designation long reserved for the likes of the Nation of Islam, the Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nations.

HomoQuotable – Chad Griffin

“Designating the Family Research Council a hate group has nothing to do with disagreements about marriage equality, nondiscrimination laws or any other policy debate.

Quote Of The Day – Sharon Stapel

“I’m not going to suggest all LGBT folks are non-violent because that would be silly. However, if you look at the organized movement toward LGBT equality, there are no mainstream or even left of mainstream organizations who advocate that the murder of people who are opposed to LGBT equality is a viable solution to meeting our goal. “Yet a quick …
