Dan Savage called me this afternoon (shortly after this post went up) to let me know that I’d totally misread the reaction of the CNN host to his calling out of the network for giving airtime to anti-gay bigots. It turns out, CNN knew exactly what he was going to say. Dan writes tonight on Slog: Did I ambush CNN? …

Here’s the first (and very satisfying) fallout from yesterday’s new official hate group designations by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Dan Savage appeared on CNN this afternoon to slam them for giving airtime to anti-gay bigots. “There are no ‘two sides’ to the issue of LGBT rights. Right now one side is really using dehumanizing rhetoric. The Southern Poverty Law …

The Southern Poverty Law Center, the nation’s leading watchdog of hate organizations, has added the Family Research Council and American Family Association to its list of anti-gay hate groups. Also making the list for the first time is the Illinois Family Association, the former home of Porno Pete LaBarbera, whose group also makes the list. Here’s the SPLC’s updated list, …

Following up on today’s press release denouncing a new federal rule allowing the partners of LGBT patients to visit them in hospitals, the American Family Association took their objections to their national radio show, which is broadcast on over 200 stations nationwide.

“This week another group that demands the celebration of homosexuality called on National Public Radio to exclude the viewpoint of Family Research Council and other conservatives because we ‘have nothing productive to bring to the table.’ “We are all agreed that every suicide by a ‘gay’-identified teenager is a tragedy. And there are not two sides to the issue of …

A coalition of the nation’s leading anti-gay Christian activists have issued a joint statement denouncing any attempt to teach Christian children that it’s wrong to beat gay kids. Authentic Christians will remember several key concepts from Scripture: 1. Homosexual behavior is always a sin, God’s plan for sexuality is male/female marriage, and God has not changed His mind about this …

“Ann took them straight on and gave them some straight talk I doubt they were ready for. There is no amount of sugar that will help this medicine go down. According to the leftwing website Politico.com, she complimented the Christian audiences before whom she speaks by telling these homosexuals that the people who get her ‘gay jokes are gays.’ Christians …

Wingnut lesbian radio host and GOProud honcho Tammy Bruce is “so impressed” with Christine O’Donnell, who is the founder of an organization dedicated to the cultural extinction of gay people. Listen to Bruce practically fingering herself while O’Donnell prattles on. Careful, Tammy! Christine condemns masturbators to hell!

NOM has lost yet another court battle to cloak the names of their donors in Maine. Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, said Thursday his group is disappointed in the ruling, but feels its arguments will hold sway with an appeals court. NOM will pursue an expedited appeal to the U.S. First Circuit Court in Boston, he …

“We at AFTAH have an idea: how about if Coulter donates her GOProud speaking fee to two worthy pro-family organizations whose mission (we hope) Coulter agrees with more than that of the phony ‘conservatives’ over at GOProud, who put ‘gay rights’ above traditional values. Here are two wonderful groups that could benefit from GOProud’s cash (via Coulter): * Elaine Donnelly’s …

The anti-gay Liberty Counsel wanted to be one of the hate groups arguing Prop 8. The anti-gay Alliance Defense Fund blocked their involvement, saying, “No fucking way, bitches. We’re the only haters up in this here case.” Protect Marriage even dissed the Liberty Counsel as the “extreme fringe” of the hate movement and “not part of the coalition that got …

A federal judge in Missouri ruled yesterday that a ban on political protests near funerals is unconstitutional. In 2006 Missouri legislators passed the ban in an attempt to thwart the Westboro Baptist Church. The primary state law had barred protests near any church, cemetery or funeral establishment from an hour before until an hour after any funeral ceremony, procession or …

Buzzfeed has the other nine.

JMG reader Brian tips us to this clip from the red-caped nutters at Tradition, Value and Property in which they invite Catholic boys to relive “the glories of Christian civilization” by reenacting the murders of non-Catholic infidels during the Crusades. Lunatics.

At the second-to-last stop on NOM’s Hate Tour, the red-caped nutjobs from the Catholic American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property showed up to spew their usual bile. Listen as their baby-faced rep connects same-sex marriage to bestiality and declares that single-parent families are not actual families at all.

Last week Friendly Atheist Hemant Mehta sent two undercover spies to Porno Pete’s Hate Academy. Today Mehta posts the first in a three-part series exposing what went on. Here’s a haters quote recap from “Perry and Maria”: Matt Barber: We should not be politically correct. It’s natural for gays to be reviled. It’s important to focus on the health risks …

Angered by NOM’s cries of victimization during the national Hate Tour, JMG commenter AdBo sends us his comparison of the signs recently seen at marriage rallies around the nation.

And how he’s tied to the Christian rock band that calls for the execution of homosexuals.
