Crimes against humanity defendant Scott Lively writes: You will be blessed by this amazing song “The Rainbow Belongs to God.” It was written my friend Johny Noer, a Danish pastor living in the Negev Desert of Israel, and performed by the very talented singer/composer Signe Walsoe. Johny was an attendee and guest lecturer at my Bible seminar in England last …

About the cover story in this month’s magazine from World Net Daily: Newt Gingrich called it an “open, blatant example of the new fascism,” Charles Krauthammer called it “totalitarian,” Pat Buchanan labeled it “the new blacklist” and RedState headlined it as “a fascist purge.” And it wasn’t just conservatives sounding the alarm. Leftist comedian Bill Maher called the perpetrators the …

LGBT ally David Pakman interviewed Scott Lively on Monday and confronted him about several issues, including his claim that President Obama is gay. Pakman interviews a lot of crackpots and always zeroes in on their most ridiculous claims.

Scott Lively claimed yesterday that a writer from the Bar Area Reporter has called to get his reaction to being named this year’s recipient of San Francisco Pride’s annual Pink Brick Award, which they describe on their site: “The Pink Brick is a symbol of the first brick hurled at the Stonewall Riots in 1969. This faux award is an …

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 …

On Saturday Ugandan Pastor Martin “Eat Da Poo Poo” Ssempa smirkingly invited me to attend a parade in celebration of his country’s brutal crackdown on its LGBT citizens. The festivities went off as planned yesterday, complete with a marching band and children that waved anti-gay signs.  J. Lester Feder reports at Buzzfeed: Fire jugglers, acrobats, and schoolchildren performed at a …

Britain’s very gay-friendly Channel 4 yesterday broadcast the below interview with Scott Lively. The interviewer confronted Lively about his responsibility for Uganda’s brutal anti-gay crackdown: When I went on to point out that the President Obama is “wholeheartedly” against this legislation, Dr Lively chuckled and said: “I think Obama may as well be a homosexual himself. He is certainly a …

Detestable hate group leader Scott Lively yesterday sat on a Boston dais with seven other Massachusetts gubernatorial candidates to take questions from the public about their positions on LGBT-related issues. Mass Live reports that Lively responded to every question with lies and insults.

“God doesn’t care about Chick Fil A’s profit margins if they come at the expense of Dan Cathy’s willingness to stand up for the truth under pressure. What would it profit Mr. Cathy to gain the whole world (or a few more restaurants on college campuses), if his compromise of Biblical truth today makes him less able to resist the …

Famed cartoonist Mark Fiore writes: Since Uganda’s anti-gay law was signed recently, it’s been amusing (and maddening) to watch various religious right characters scurry for cover. When nobody was watching, the holier-than-thou set have been visiting Uganda preaching their extreme anti-gay views. Now that people are appalled at Uganda’s life-in-prison-for-homosexuals law, the “evangelical” right-wing preachers are laying low or rewriting …

Scott Lively appeared on Bryan Fischer’s radio show today to flog his laughably doomed bid for Massachusetts governor and to denounce pro-gay companies for dropping their sponsorships of St. Patrick’s Day parades. According to Lively, Americans are “at the breaking point” regarding the “homosexual agenda” and are “on the verge of a revolution.”

Hate group leader Scott Lively marched in Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade yesterday.

Buzzfeed has the story: Human rights advocates and opposition politicians filed a lawsuit against Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act on Tuesday. The Anti-Homosexuality Act, which President Yoweri Museveni signed into law on February 24, imposes up to a life sentence for homosexuality and criminalizes advocating LGBT rights. The petitioners include activists Frank Mugisha of Sexual Minorities Uganda, trans activist Julian Pepe Onziema, …

Appearing today on multiple African blogs: Barely two weeks after Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed a bill banning homosexuality into law, two homosexuals have been caught in the act. According to eyewitnesses, the two gay men checked into an undisclosed hotel and within 15 minutes of checking in, sexual moans were heard from their room. The moaning was so loud …

“The crux of the human rights debate is what it means to be human. Russia appears to be returning to it’s pre-Soviet understanding that humans are made in the image of God, and that our ‘rights,’ are really duties of respect and care for each other which are imposed on us by Him. This is why the first principle of …

Mother Jones today published a lengthy profile of anti-gay evangelist and hate group leader Scott Lively. While many of the article’s details might be familiar to longtime JMG readers, I encourage you to read the story. Here’s how it opens: In late February, when Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni signed the nation’s harsh new anti-gay bill into law, he claimed the …

Hate group leader Scott Lively appeared on NPR yesterday to defend his campaign against LGBT people around the world. An excerpt: MARTIN: Well, you know, this law, though, has been denounced by the United Nations, by U.S. officials, including the Secretary of State and the president.

Multiple Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated Weeds star Elizabeth Perkins tweeted me this afternoon to announce her donation to the Center For Constitutional Rights, which is suing Scott Lively on the behalf of Ugandan LGBT activists. Donations go to funding subpoenas, paying for expert witnesses, and for airfare to the United States for Ugandans to testify against Lively.  Longtime JMG readers …

“While I respect the right of sovereign nations to legislate sexual morality according to their own cultural standards, I believe the Ugandan anti-homosexuality law takes the wrong approach in dealing with simple homosexuality (as opposed to pederasty and the other sub-categories of ‘aggravated homosexuality’ in the bill). [snip] That having been said, I commend Uganda for removing the death penalty …
