Billy Graham has joined his son and daughter in publicly coming out in favor of denying civil equality to gay North Carolina residents. Billy Graham on Wednesday released a statement on the proposed marriage amendment in North Carolina. The 93-year-old Graham has a full-page advertisement scheduled to run in 14 state newspapers. “At 93, I never thought we would have …

This afternoon radio host David Pakman tried to get Pastor Sean Harris on the phone to defend his views. Listen to how the woman who answered the phone responds to his questions.

Earlier today I posted a news report which quoted Pastor Sean Harris as saying that he was only joking when he told his congregation that they should beat the gay out of non-gender conforming children. Harris has now posted a lengthy “official statement of retraction” on his personal blog. But as is typical with his repulsive ilk, he isn’t actually …

Pam Spaulding points out that Pastor Patrick Wooden admits he made up his now infamous tale about gay men shoving cell phones up their ass.

Here’s a revolting demonstration of Christian Love™ from Sean Harris, the Senior Pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Fayetteville, North Carolina. This will likely be the sickest thing you hear today, be warned. (Via Good As You)

Glenn Beck’s The Blaze editorializes: [F]rom the video, it seems unclear if the shotgun “was fired onto property that includes a home or business.” It’s also unclear if the property is his, although he seems to indicate it is. He also seems to indicate that someone entered onto his …

I’ve heard from a couple of other stations who may report on the story, but this is the first one to go online. The hosts, in my opinion, are entirely too amused and dismissive about this. Via WCNC-NBC Channel 36. (Tipped by JMG reader Jordon)

Yesterday’s JMG post about Shotgun Boy has gone viral with just about every major blog taking notice. Here’s one of today’s emails: “Hey fuckhead.

Following up on the claim that an elderly North Carolina woman was “violently beaten” over her anti-gay marriage yard sign, I just spoke to Chief Detective Howard Branch of the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.
