Right Wing Watch reports that HGTV has green-lighted a reality show that will star North Carolina anti-gay activists David and Jason Benham. David Benham led a prayer rally — Charlotte 7:14 — outside of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2012, which he told conservative radio host Janet Mefferd was needed to stop “homosexuality and its agenda …

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch: Lively told [SiriusXM host Michelangelo] Signorile that he never referred to Obama as the Antichrist or Putin as a champion of right-wing Christianity: “No I didn’t say that. Oh boy, that’s quite the leap you’re making. No, I’ve never said either of those things. In terms of the Antichrist thing, we need to …

Chris Christie just told a squealing CPAC audience that Democrats are intolerant because they don’t allow pro-life speakers at their conventions. Brian Tashman rips this apart at Right Wing Watch: “Tell me, sir, the last pro-life Democrat who was allowed to speak at a Democratic convention – and by the way, don’t strain yourself because there’s never been one,” Christie …

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch: Paul Cameron’s Family Research Institute is upset that Marvin Olasky of the Religious Right-aligned WORLD magazine dared to criticize Uganda’s draconian anti-gay bill, which recently passed parliament but has been blocked by the president, at least for now. In a response on its website, Cameron’s group took issue with Olasky’s claim that the …

Anti-gay crackpots are ganging up to flag the YouTube videos posted by Right Wing Watch, which always eventually wins back the clips in question, as they did when Pat Robertson’s stormtroopers tried to squash his “AIDS ring” video. The freak shows know this, but they continue their campaign. Sign the petition posted today by People For The American Way.

Right Wing Watch reports: In a video advertisement for his new book, “Apostate,” Colorado pastor Kevin Swanson dresses up as a prisoner who former Colorado Gov. Bill Ritter has put in jail for quoting Leviticus 20:13. Such ploys are nothing new: Religious Right activists have consistently warned that they will be imminently jailed for their beliefs. The Colorado-based pastor and …

Just in via press release: This afternoon at approximately 1:45, People For the American Way received a call claiming that a bomb was present in our building in Washington, DC. After evacuating the premises, officers with the DC Metropolitan Police Department searched the building and established that there was no danger. We take the safety of our staff seriously. We’re …

Right Wing Watch reports: Brown didn’t say what he was in Russia for, but we can guess that he was at the World Congress of Families’ planning meeting along with anti-gay activist Scott Lively. Brown is an enthusiastic supporter of the group, which pushes anti-gay and anti-choice measures abroad and has been a strong cheerleader for Russia’s recent anti-gay crackdown. …

In the third of their four part series on the influence of American hate groups on Russia’s anti-gay movement, today Right Wing Watch reports that the infamous study by discredited Texas researcher Mark Regnerus was cited in the pending Russian bill that authorizes the government to seize children from the custody of their gay parents. When Russian lawmaker Alexei Zhuravlyov …

Right Wing Watch reports that at the invitation of Russia’s legislature, NOM president Brian Brown traveled there with a group of far-right French Catholic anti-gay activists to collaborate on the bill that bans gay couples from adopting.  The DUMA passed the bill five days after Brown’s visit. On June 13, 2013, just days after the Russian Duma passed laws banning …

Right Wing Watch reporter Peter Montgomery registered to attend PFOX’s “First Annual Ex-Gay Awareness Month Dinner and Reception,” which is being held at a super-secret location. Because, you know, oppression. Anyway, PFOX sent Montgomery his money back even though he told them that he merely intended to observe and not disrupt. Here’s what he noticed on the registration form: Code …

Kudos, as always, to Right Wing Watch.

Right Wing Watch has posted excerpts from the 700 Club many, many times over the years. But very curiously, today’s now infamous clip of Pat Robertson’s douchetastic lie about gay men has been yanked from YouTube due to a copyright claim by the Christian Broadcasting Network. We’re confident that RWW will soon be able to re-post the clip as it …

“Russia is not being homophobic, it’s homorealistic – the Russian government is trying to take the issue into consideration and establish public policy to contribute to public health, as this lifestyle is not be promoted, endorsed or granted special legal protection. Homosexual behavior is just as risky as drug abuse. I think the Russian government is right to be concerned …

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch: Since first reporting on the creation of “Ex-Gay Pride Month” and its now-cancelled reception at the Family Research Council, we have uncovered more unhinged rants by organizers DL Foster and Greg Quinlan. Foster, who previously called for Dan Savage’s arrest and claimed gay Christians are like people wearing “blackface,” has posted several blog …

Brian Tashman responds at Right Wing Watch: Pat Robertson is disturbed that people, for whatever reason, might believe that he is somehow anti-gay. After all, how could blaming gays for 9/11, warning that gay rights will destroy America, using anti-gay slurs, linking homosexuality to pedophilia and disease and saying that Facebook should create a ‘vomit’ button specifically for pictures of …
