Via email from hate group leader Brian Brown: LGBT activists and the left often talk about the need to reduce bullying as a means of justifying their extreme agenda. They want to play on the emotions of the American people to portray gays, lesbians and the transgender as victims of intolerance and harassment. But the reality is much different — …

Via email: Not long ago, North Carolina’s governor, Pat McCrory, signed an important common-sense law stopping men from gaining access to intimate facilities like restrooms and showers that are reserved for girls and women.

Any professional fundraiser will tell you that the best way guarantee donations is to tell your supporters how much they suck for not sending enough.

In recent weeks both the Family Research Council and the Liberty Counsel have angrily withdrawn their support for the so-called First Amendment Defense Act (FADA) due to recently-inserted language that also would legalize discrimination against straight married couples on the basis of “religious belief or moral conviction.” But not NOM, who have completely hung their hat on FADA since they …

Three days later and we finally have a report on NOM’s silly little hate march. From the Christian news site founded by right-winger Brent Bozell: CNSNews.com asked Brown about his continued commitment to the issue following the Supreme Court’s ruling. “Well, you know, just like the life movement, Roe v. Wade didn’t stop the life movement,” he said. “There were …
