Newt Gingrich Loves All Three Of His Traditional Marriages

It’s so laughable when serial adulterers defend “traditional marriage.” Newt Gingrich: “I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think …

Matt Barber At The Prop 8 Protest

The suspiciously limp-wristed Matt Barber (spokespig for the Liberty Counsel) counter-protested for the cameras at Saturday’s marriage equality rally in Chicago.

HomoQuotable – Andrew Sullivan

“You will notice that the website of the biggest gay rights group in the country has one single mention – it’s a blog about a celebrity, of course – of the massive protests that occurred for marriage equality across the country yesterday.

HomoQuotable – Peter Staley

“Okay, don’t get me wrong. Last night’s Prop 8 demo in New York City was inspiring on many levels. The turn-out was huge. The fact that it all happened virally online, starting with a single Facebook event posted only three days earlier by a 26-year-old (great work, Corey Johnson!), amazes me. “And what happened last night is part of something …

Whether young or old, male or female, Democrat or Republican, blacks are justifiably fed up with the deceptive antics of the self-described and craftily contrived “gay rights movement.” “For decades now, well-organized, well-funded and highly influential …
