Taking a short break from their relentless campaign to demonize LGBT people, the American Family Association has announced that in light of the Fort Hood shooting, now is the time to expel all Muslims from the U.S. military.

And now the forces of darkness turn their hate-filled piggy little eyes to New Hampshire. Two proposals are being drafted in the N.H. House: One would repeal the law Gov. John Lynch signed in June and re-establish civil unions; the other is a constitutional amendment that would charge voters with deciding if “the state shall only recognize the union of …

A Christian family group in Wisconsin has lost its bid to skip the lowest court trial process and take their objection about the state’s domestic partners law directly to the state supreme court.

“I consider if someone is homosexual, it is a provocation and an abuse of this place. Try to go to a mosque if you are not Muslim.
