The U.S. Supreme Court has just ruled that anti-gay activists in Washington state MUST make public the names on Referendum 71. Protect Marriage wanted to keep the names secret, claiming they feared retribution from “violent homofascists.” The ruling (PDF) was 8-1, with Justice Clarence Thomas dissenting. Justices ruled in a case called Doe V. Reed. They heard oral arguments in …

Duncan Osbourne of Gay City News has uncovered some troubling history from Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. From Osbourne’s blog, Herd & Scene: Despite knowing that religious freedom laws could invalidate state and local anti-discrimination statutes that protect bisexual, lesbian, transgender, and gay taxpayers, Elena Kagan, a nominee to the US Supreme Court, championed such laws in her later years …

“Could it be that [Elana] Kagan is ex-gay? That would explain the White House insistence on Kagan’s heterosexuality and Kagan’s silence about her past sexual preference. As an ex-gay myself, I sympathize with Kagan and the Obama administration. I have had to face taunts, threats, and phone calls to my employer demanding that I be fired. There is no hate …

The lesbian bit about Elana Kagan is pretty cute.

A right-wing student group called Young America’s Foundation has named today “Keep Out Kagan Day” in their phone campaign to prevent the Supreme Court appointment of Elena Kagan because of her opposition to DADT while dean of Harvard Law School. Evan Gassman, a spokesman for YAF, explains there are a multitude of reasons why these groups are fighting this nomination. …

Almost all of the states have signed onto an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, asking that military funerals be protected from the likes of the Phelps clan. Forty-eight states and the District of Columbia have submitted a brief to the Supreme Court in support of a father who sued anti-gay protesters over their demonstration at the 2006 funeral of …

“Whereas every liberal hack on the planet tripped over one another to demand Mark Foley, Larry Craig, Ted Haggard and, most recently, George Rekers divulge the most intimate details of their own bizarre (allegedly) sexual appetites, with Kagan, they’ve suddenly lost interest. Although the mainstream media refuse to do their job, some in the homosexual-activist press are stepping-up to fill …

“It should be frightening not only to the majority of Americans who still affirm that homosexual behavior is morally wrong, but especially disturbing to those whose views on homosexuality are the result of an orthodox view of the Bible which clearly characterizes homosexual conduct as sinful. It should also be alarming for those of us who live in the 45 …

“Solicitor General Elena Kagan’s sexual orientation is the subject of much discussion in blogs and mainstream newspapers. The White House response denied Ms. Kagan is a lesbian. Instead, shouldn’t the White House have denounced the speculation and conveyed that such inquiries are improper? By denying she is lesbian instead of denouncing the inquiry, the White House is implicitly stating sexual …

Pat Buchanan is pissed that the Supreme Court isn’t 100% white and evangelical. “Of the last seven justices nominated by Democrats JFK, LBJ, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, one was black, Marshall; one was Puerto Rican, Sonia Sotomayor. The other five were Jews: Arthur Goldberg, Abe Fortas, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan. If Kagan is confirmed, Jews, …

Speaking to Bryan Fischer on the American Family Association’s radio program, Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) claimed that American soldiers would not fight to defend openly gay fellow soldiers. And therefore, we cannot allow the appointment of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court.

Yesterday the Wall Street Journal published a front page photo of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan playing softball. Because that’s what lesbians do, you see. Eliot Spitzer, of all people, has announced that Kagan is not gay because he knows men who have dated her. “I did not go out with her, but other guys did,” Eliot Spitzer said of …

“There has been an effort to obfuscate Kagan’s position on gay marriage using statements she made when nominated to be solicitor general, but these efforts are all either sad or laughable. Take, for instance, this Cornell law professor: He pretends to believe that, when Kagan stated that she has never taken a public position on whether the Constitution ought to …

“Is Obama actually going to use a Supreme Court nominee to advance the cause of the closet (as well as kill any court imposition of marriage equality)? And can we have a clear, factual statement as to the truth? In a free society in the 21st Century, it is not illegitimate to ask. And it is cowardly not to tell.”- …

The Supreme Court will hear the case of the terrifying homofascists today, as Protect Marriage Washington pleads to keep the names of the supporters of Referendum 71 shielded from public review. The Gay & Lesbian Advocates and Defenders note the horrifying examples cited in one amicus brief. Via press release: – A country club member in California, a supporter of …

This Wednesday the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments from Protect Marriage Washington, who fears retribution from violent homofascists should the names on Referendum 71 become public knowledge. The Court’s decision could affect the transparency of the referendum process nationwide. Though Referendum 71 is at the heart of the legal dispute, the issues are far broader, including how open the …

The Supreme Court has overturned a 13-year ban on “crush videos” saying the ban violated freedom of speech. Never heard of crush videos? Me neither. It turns out some heterosexual men are thrilled by the sight of women crushing small animals to death with their stiletto heels or bare feet. And they’ll pay to see it. Chief Justice John J. …
