“I think from the political right, the Republicans and so forth, those that are Republican elected officials state and federal, those who remain silent will ultimately be held accountable just as much as Democrats who advocate to the contrary. This is not an issue in which you can remain silent any more than you can remain silent during Nazi Germany. …

“I hope ya’ll will believe me when I say that I hate the word ‘gay.’ I hate all the presuppositions attached to it. Like the presupposition that a fixed gay (or straight or bi, for that matter) sexual orientation is a legitimate reality. I don’t believe that sexual orientation, as culture at large defines it, is real — and I …

Yesterday I reported that a human rights complaint has been filed against a Newfoundland magazine for publishing a vicious two-page anti-gay screed by Matt Barber. Last night Barber went full-on crazy martyr on Twitter, sending out no fewer than 40 links to the same World Net Daily column in which he claims to be personally sought by Canadian authorities on …

“It is just poor business. Target, just like other corporations across the country, should at least remain neutral in this ongoing culture war. And at best, they should be endorsing the age old institution of natural marriage, which is the cornerstone to any healthy society. I hope people will go into Target stores across the country and tell them that …

A humans rights complaint has been filed against the Newfoundland Herald after it published an anti-gay screed titled The Coming Christian Revolt from hate group leader Matt Barber.

Via Brent Bozell’s CNS News: Mathew D. Staver, dean of the Liberty University School of Law, said that efforts to change the definition of marriage to include same-sex “marriage” would be like trying to re-define the law of gravity, adding that, if it were tried, it would mark “the beginning of the end of Western civilization.” “We’ve never been in …

And yet Croatia approved civil unions two weeks ago.

Yesterday the Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief with the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals in the Indiana marriage case that is due to be heard jointly with the Wisconsin case.  The brief hits all the usual hater points: Regnerus, AIDS, anal cancer, procreation. blah, etc, blah.

Earlier this year two “undercover” members of the “ex-gay” group Voice Of The Voiceless visited LGBT student centers at seven Virginia colleges to see what would happen if they requested help in rejecting their homosexuality. According to the group, all seven colleges advised them that “ex-gay” therapy doesn’t work and often results in self-harm. Enter the Liberty Counsel: On behalf …

“Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is giving only window dressing to the Florida Marriage Amendment. Bondi sent one of her staff attorneys to argue the case against the constitutional amendment, and her office filed a short, 14-page brief only a week before the court date. If Attorney General Pam Bondi does not want to present a vigorous defense, she owes …

Liberty Counsel head Mat Staver is speaking at this writing. I must be getting my Florida cases mixed up because I could have sworn that Liberty Counsel was denied the right to be a party to this case. Watch the live stream. UPDATE: Equality Florida has tweeted that Staver was merely allowed to orally present his amicus brief, which seems …

“The implications of this victory for freedom cannot be overemphasized as the decision holds essentially that First Amendment religious liberties are applicable to corporations. It protects those with pro-life views from being forced by the government to be complicit in (pay for or provide) abortion homicide procedures, whether chemical or surgical. There will be much analysis to follow and it …

“I am deeply saddened for the families we represent and for the thousands of children that our professional clients counsel, many of whom developed these unwanted attractions because of abuse of a pedophile. The minors we represent do not want to act on same-sex attractions, nor do they want to engage in such behavior. They are greatly benefiting from this …

The Liberty Counsel already lost twice at the Ninth Circuit Court and today they were slapped down for a third time by the Supreme Court. Their appeal was filed on behalf of NARTH and crackpot “ex-gay” brainwasher David Pickup. There will be some outraged sadz about this. UPDATE: The National Center for Lesbian Rights applauds. NCLR Legal Director Shannon Minter …
