From the Family Research Council: FRC was one of a number of organizations that strongly urged the administration — in writing and in face-to-face meetings — to return to the common-sense interpretation. Today, HHS finally affirmed that it has done so. The Obama rule was a threat to the religious liberty and freedom of conscience of health care providers. The …

Via email from the Family Research Council: The judicial tyranny imposed upon Costa Rica began with a decision of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR) in 2018. The court is charged with enforcement of the American Convention on Human Rights, an agreement among some members of the Organization of American States. Nine months later, Costa Rica’s own Supreme Court, …

Over the last week White House flacks have declared that Mike Pence cannot possibly be considered anti-LGBT because, after all, he totally shook hands with Ireland’s gay prime minister and even had a meal with the PM and his partner. That prompted CNN’s fact-checkers to dredge up a mountain of anti-gay actions and quotes from Pence, none of which were …

Peter Sprigg writes for the Christian Post: The truth is, “sexual orientation” is a multi-faceted concept, involving a combination of attractions, behaviors, and personal identity. These four studies all demonstrate that significant change in each of the elements of sexual orientation is possible. The percentage changing from homosexuality to heterosexuality ranged from 13% to 53% (while the percentage changing from …

The Family Research Council’s in-house “expert” on ex-gay torture is warning Christians not to see Boy Erased because the movie is “boring.” He writes: Those advocating legal restrictions on sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) are hoping for a boost from a new movie, Boy Erased, intended to dramatize problems with what they call “conversion therapy.” The movie is based on …

ABC News reports: Advocates of long-discredited gay conversion therapy programs say they are heartened by the election of Donald Trump and are counting on Vice President Mike Pence and congressional Republicans to help fight off efforts to make such programs illegal. “I certainly hope that this administration will pull back from some of the aggressive activism that the Obama administration …

Tomorrow afternoon self-proclaimed “best friend to the gays” Donald Trump will address the Family Research Council’s Values Voter Summit. In the room will be the leaders of anti-LGBT Christian hate groups that would happily imprison prominent Trump supporters Matt Drudge, Peter Thiel, and Milo Whatisopoulos. That won’t come as a surprise to longtime JMG readers, but here’s a recap from …

Via the Daily Mail: TLC has pulled Jim Bob Duggar, his wife Michelle and their 19 children from its highly-anticipated Summer Block Party, which is taking place in Philadelphia at noon on Saturday. The family had originally been slated to appear at the event, which features a number of network stars and is open and free to the public – …

Todd Starnes writes at Fox News: Within hours of the ruling, the Family Research Council facilitated the establishment of a GoFundMe account to help the Kleins raise the money the need. In less than eight hours, more than $100,000 was raised. However, late Friday GoFundMe pulled the plug — sending this message to would-be donors: “After careful review by our …

Mediaite recaps this morning’s epic takedown: “There is a picture that’s circulating around of the governor as he signed [the bill],” Cuomo said. “Several of the people in the picture are outspoken critics of gay existence. Now, that’s not a coincidence. It’s not a coincidence why you’re against it. Let me ask you, why do so many Christians these days …

“Dan Savage, who is now having his life story being portrayed on a new sitcom on ABC, you know, here’s a guy that’s responsible for the coarsening of civil discussion and conversation being celebrated, at a time when there are knuckleheads who are still spewing from their lips the sort of nonsense that we’ve heard from these fraternity members.”

“Most of the media is blaming the current chaos in Alabama over whether same-sex couples will or will not be issued marriage licenses on Judge Roy Moore, Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. However, it really should be laid at the feet of U.S. District Court Judge Callie V. S. Granade (pronounced, according to National Public Radio, like ‘grenade’). …

“In Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas, Republicans are moving quickly on measures that would penalize any government employee caught issuing same-sex ‘marriage’ licenses — regardless of the courts’ orders. Meanwhile, Utah, North Carolina, and South Carolina are desperately trying to give cover to anyone with religious objections to same-sex ‘marriage’ by drafting bills that would give government officials the ability …

Via Boise Public Radio: After more than 20 hours of public testimony, the Idaho House State Affairs Committee decided to kill the “Add the Words” bill that would ban discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Idahoans. In the nine years that LGBT activists have been fighting for it, this is the furthest the bill has come. Some of …

On Monday, the Idaho House State Affairs Committee heard public testimony on the bill that would add the words “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” to the state’s Human Rights Act. Via the Associated Press: Overall, lawmakers were largely silent during the hearing, asking only a handful of follow up questions and withholding comments. The committee — made up some of …

Via press release: The FDA created the rule — not out of prejudice, but precaution. Now, a growing chorus of liberals is insisting that federal agencies should ignore the risks so that homosexuals feel “more accepted” in society. In other words, the Left is willing to taint the U.S. blood banks to make a political point. If the FDA wants …

Via the Washington Post: The Food and Drug Administration during a two-day meeting starting today will consider lifting the ban that was put into place in 1983 amid fears — and little understanding — of the AIDS virus. An FDA advisory committee last month recommended that the agency lift the restriction, but only for men who hadn’t had sex with …

Last year’s big “ex-gay” event was a hilarious disaster in which fewer than ten people showed up after American Family Association radio shrieker Sandy Rios had predicted it would draw “thousands of ex-gays.” That failure came after they had canceled “Ex-Gay Pride Month” due to “anti-ex-gay extremism.” Several weeks later a massive crowd of tens attended an “Ex-Gay Awareness Dinner” …
