Starting now. Listen here. UPDATE: Tony Perkins has the sadz. “These ten legislators voted today against freedom and against two-thirds of Louisianans who support the Marriage and Conscience Act,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council and a supporter of the bill. “This is a failure of leadership and goes to the heart of what’s wrong with American …

Tony Perkins via email: There’s a reason liberals are polling on the wrong question in Louisiana! If they asked voters about the actual effects of the Marriage and Conscience Act, liberals wouldn’t like what the voters had to say. Turns out, protecting the freedom of belief isn’t as controversial as the media would have you believe. In a brand new …

“What does an X-rated gay sex columnist have in common with Walt Disney? Nothing. And that’s exactly the problem. Most Americans have probably never heard of Dan Savage, but unfortunately, that’s all about to change this fall. Despite massive outcry — thousands of phone calls, emails, and petition signers — Disney’s ABC is taking its LGBT activism to new lows …

Franklin Graham is so not anti-gay, he’s willing to literally have his head chopped off to stop LGBT rights.

“Ben Carson is an amazing physician — but can he fix what’s ailing America? Conservatives will be the judge, now that the famed doctor is throwing his surgical cap into the 2016 ring. Joining a crowded field that already includes Senators Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, and Carly Fiorina, Dr. Carson isn’t your run-of-the-mill presidential candidate — and that …

Teabagistan has been in an uproar all week after CBS’ Face The Nation host Bob Shieffer correctly called the Family Research Council an anti-gay hate group in the opening to his interview with Tony Perkins last Sunday. Yesterday Todd Starnes posted the below rant, bringing in foaming hater Brent Bozell to denounce CBS. Bozell, you may recall, is most known …

This is penultimate day of the Family Research Council’s 21-day fast against same-sex marriage and today’s prayer hits on their latest talking point – that only one other country, Brazil, has “imposed” gay marriage via the judiciary. That not exactly true as that’s how Mexico is doing it too. But as FRC lies go, this one is relatively minor. Pray …

Via Crooks & Liars: As the nation prepares for the Supreme Court to possibly decide whether same-sex marriage is a constitutional right, it was clear on Sunday that even anti-gay crusader Tony Perkins was having difficulty being taken seriously by the mainstream media. During a discussion about marriage equality on Face the Nation, CBS host Bob Schieffer began by noting …

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 …

Via Oregon Live: The lesbian couple turned away by a Gresham bakery that refused to make them a wedding cake for religious reasons should receive $135,000 in damages for their emotional suffering, a state hearings officer says. Rachel Bowman-Cryer should collect $75,000 and her wife, Laurel Bowman-Cryer, $60,000 from the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, an administrative law judge …

Clip recap: “The anti-gay Family Research Council has a new video out about how the gays are going to ruin everything with all their pesky marrying and doing business and existing. The video’s full of crazy claims, half-truths, and homophobia, and worst of all builds to a sneaky sales pitch at the end. Let’s go point by point and take …

That’s creationist nutjob Ken Ham with Perkins, who adds that President Obama has “endangered our country and our future to advance his radical social agenda.”

Brian Tashman writes at Right Wing Watch: The Family Research Council announced today that it has partnered with Rick Santorum’s film company, EchoLight Studios, to produce a short film for churches to air during the April 26 event “Stand for Marriage Sunday: Religious Freedom at Risk.” In the film, which features appearances by Santorum and Mike Huckabee, the FRC warns …

In a Fox News appearance about the president’s remarks yesterday about “less than loving Christians,” KKK-affiliated hate group leader Tony Perkins blamed Obama for the murders of Christians by Islamist terrorists in foreign countries. “I think there’s a reason the president doesn’t want to talk about this persecution of Christians, because in part his policies are responsible. The growing hostility …

Oh brother. The Denver bakery was allowed to decline the requested message on the cake, which was “Homosexuality Is Detestable.” As the local press reported at the time of the complaint, the bakery advertises its various Christian-related products such a baptismal celebration cakes, etc. There really is nothing Tony Perkins will not lie about.

From the Family Research Council: FRC President Tony Perkins is asking believers everywhere to pray and fast from April 7th till April 28th that God will intervene to guide our Supreme Court to protect, not destroy, natural marriage as the legal standard for our nation. He urges that we “pray up to the day of battle and go into that …

“As we allow this religious intolerance to spread here at home, persecution will spread abroad. We have to stand and defend this faith because Christians abroad will suffer if we don’t.”

“You may be wondering why legislators, who just last week overwhelmingly voted to protect religious liberty, would now introduce a new law that would use the government as a weapon against people who simply follow their beliefs on marriage. It isn’t because the American people are clamoring for it. In fact, a new Rasmussen survey released just yesterday finds that …
