From marriage equality battles to hate crimes legislation, 2009 brought out the anti-gay bigots like we’ve never seen before. By whatever criteria you enjoy, select the person below who you think most exemplified homophobic hatred. It was difficult to select a mere eight names for this poll, so feel free to add your write-in candidates in the comments. Anti-Gay Douchebag …

It’s a complicated story, but let’s see if I can break down the major points correctly. 1. In 2000, Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins get civil unioned in Vermont. 2. In 2002, Miller has a baby girl via artificial insemination. 3. In 2003, the couple breaks up when Miller “renounces” homosexuality, becomes an evangelical Christian, and moves to Virginia, taking …

America’s two most-reviled homophobes are battling each other about a repulsive remark that Peter LaBarbera attributed to the Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber. It all started over Barber’s announcement that he would lead a wingnut boycott of CPAC if GOProud was allowed to remain a co-sponsor. Round One, Porno Pete: It boils down to this: there is nothing “conservative” about — …

Matt Barber says that if the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) allows Log Cabin Republicans splinter group GOProud to remain as a co-sponsor, he will lead a boycott of the event by anti-gay groups. Oh NOES! Porno Pete breathlessly reports: Folks, for years religious conservatives have been complaining about getting the shaft from CPAC, the annual Conservative Political Action …

Never one to miss a publicity opportunity, premiere closet case Peter LaBarbera has announced that the anti-gay Liberty Counsel has filed the first FCC indecency complaint (PDF) over Adam Lambert’s performance on the American Music Awards. The Lambert performance featured, among other things, simulated oral sex, suggestive crotch grabbing, simulated digital penetration, sadomasochistic conduct, and homosexual open-mouth kissing. The Lambert …

Today’s fearsome and Godly demonstration of “civil disobedience” held outside the Department of Justice by the Power Rangers For Jeebus was nothing but a same-old same-old boring little press conference attended by nobody else but its speakers and a handful of placard-holding gays. Wait, can there be a “press conference” if there’s no actual press? Fizzzzzle. Where were the promised …

Pretty much every Christianist loon you’ve ever heard of will be outside the Department of Justice in Washington DC at 1:30pm today to protest the recently passed hate crimes act. Wild-eyed luminaries such as Matt Barber, Peter LaBarbera, Gary Cass, Bishop Harry Jackson and their coterie of crazies will be attempting to incite their own arrest by “preaching the Biblical …

From Christwire: It is a well-known fact that the homosexuals have been secretly working to subvert American laws for quite some time, but the new violent turn has surprised many people (other than myself). It may have its roots in the political loss in Maine, where voters unanimously said they hate the gay lifestyle that has been overrunning their state …

If you’re not really bored with the story, here’s a roundup of some of the news coverage about Peter LaBarbera, Matt Barber, and the Liberty Counsel calling the FBI about this here website thingy. Like an internet game of “Telephone,” the story bounced from one wingnut site to another, getting worse along the way until it looked like I, myself, …

I’ll be on Michelangelo Signorile’s SiriusXM OutQ show at 4:30PM (eastern) today to discuss Peter LaBarbera, Matt Barber, the religious right, and the FBI. You can listen online here.

Today Peter LaBarbera took his baseless claims of “terrorist threats” by JMG readers to World Net Daily, the nation’s most widely-read conservative site, which reposted lengthy excerpts from JMG readers, accompanied by more inane changes from LaBarbera and Matt Barber. A homosexual blogger passed off as a “joke” a suggestion by a contributor to his website that there might be …

“Twenty-five years ago, at the height of the AIDS crisis, there were hundreds—thousands—of gay men walking around with two or three T cells and six-months-or-less to live. The religious right was doing what it always does: it’s worst, demonizing gay people, kicking us when we were down, attacking us on the airwaves and in Congress, and neglecting us to death …

Last week I suggested checking out anti-gay activist Matt Barber’s new book, The Right Hook, and offering up your reviews on Amazon. Many of you did, to hilarious effect, although most of your reviews were later removed after Barber and his male lover Peter LaBarbera stamped their delicate stilettos on wingnut radio shows and websites. Reviewers are being highly critical …

“Through these childish and dishonest attempts to discourage people from reading ‘The Right Hook,’ liberal activists and bloggers obtusely prove one of the book’s main points: that socialists, atheists, militant ‘gay’ activists and other secular leftists can’t win the debate on the merits. They desperately resort to Orwellian propagandist tactics in an effort to keep the truth from getting out. …

It’s not too late to call Donna Miller (910-308-7619) at the Concerned Women for America and book your seat at Saturday’s annual dinner for Peter LaBarbera’s Americans For Truth About Homosexuality. None other than Matt Barber will be on hand to promote his new memoir, The Right Hook: From The Ring To The Culture War. (Sadly, there are no reviews …

Did you know that Home Depot is turning children around the country into baby ‘mos? Cuz they totally are. From Christianist news site OneNewsNow: Home Depot is helping to introduce children to the homosexual lifestyle. The Nashville Gay Pride website notes that Home Depot contributed more than $5,000 to help finance the 2009 festival. The retailer also participated by conducting …

Ex-Gay Watch points us to a Reuters story noting the formation of the Freedom Federation, a massive coalition of anti-gay groups who are joining forces to create one giant swirling cesspool of hate. The Freedom Federation is a new and unique federation of some of the largest multi-ethnic and transgenerational faith-based organizations in the country committed to plan, strategize, and …

“If freedom to marry means, as he [Dick Cheney] said, that people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish, well then, he’s virtually endorsing polyamory and polygamy, and incestuous marriage, and bestiality. [There are] no holds barred here.” – Liberty Counsel spokesdouchenozzle Matt Barber, speaking to wingnut site OneNewsNow.

“Oh, those fun-loving little sadomasochists. They do enjoy their, um, slapstick, don’t they? I’m flattered to have made such an impression. Comedy aside, though, forgive me if I find the specter of a fussy little mob of queer CPAs, I.T. geeks and interior designers in buttless leather chaps pointing at me shrieking ‘There he is! There he is!’ a little …

“If H.R. 1913 becomes law, actual violence or injury need not take place for a “hate crime” to occur. For example, if a group of Christians are at a ‘gay pride’ parade and a one of them gently places his hand on a homosexual’s shoulder and shares that there is freedom from homosexuality through a relationship with Jesus Christ, then, …
