“Arkansas may be ‘the Natural State’ — but not on marriage, if one judge gets his way. Late Friday, the South’s most reliably pro-marriage state was rocked by the news that a local judge wadded up the will of 75% of voters and threw it on the progressive trash heap, where liberals hope to bury natural marriage. Pulaski County Circuit …

Last night Tony Perkins appeared on Fox News to imply that Right Wing Watch is lying about the Benham brothers, saying they are “about as reliable as the Obamacare website.” Right Wing Watch, as you know, always backs up their reports with audio, video, and verbatim quotes that link directly to the douchebag being cited. Media Matters has more: Fox …

“As sons of a preacher, the brothers have never shied away from their beliefs, which led them to back the North Carolina marriage amendment — a stance the brothers seem to now be paying for, thanks to radical pro-homosexual activists like GLAAD, whose only answer to real diversity is harassment. Now, the same cultural elitists that tried to bully the …

“Supporting marriage might cost you a job in broadcasting, but in Republican politics, it’s the best decision you can make. Indiana voters made that crystal clear in last night’s primary, refusing to ‘hold their peace’ on two GOP House members who helped sink the state’s chance at a marriage protection amendment. Kathy Heuer (R) and Rebecca Kubacki (R) probably regret …

“The court today has upheld our first and most fundamental freedom. The court has rejected the idea that as citizens we must check our faith at the entrance to the public square. We applaud the majority on the court for getting that right. This is an historic victory for all Americans of faith and for the common-sense reading of the …

“Christian band Jars of Clay was supposed to be setting out on a 20th anniversary tour — but if the latest controversy is any indication, not many fans will be celebrating. Lead vocalist Dan Haseltine made sure of that last week by singing a different tune on same-sex ‘marriage.’ The social media bombshell surprised — then angered — the group’s …

Hate group leader Tony Perkins was all over the web yesterday with an FRC-conducted poll which claims that the vast majority of Republicans oppose same-sex marriage. Via press release: FRC and American Values set out to gauge how the Republican base really feels about an issue that, until recently, was non-negotiable in the GOP. With help from Wilson Research Strategies, …

TruthRevolt writer Andrew Klavan says “gay radicals” should look at the Wikipedia map of gay rights around the world and take note that all of the most gay-friendly nations are dominated by Christianity. Klaven concludes: You have the Bible and Jesus Christ to thank for the fact that you even conceive of yourself as creatures with rights. Such ideas take …

Hate group leader Tony Perkins appeared on the Fox News show of Mike Huckabee yesterday to denounce Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy as a “coward” for backing out of the same-sex marriage issue. Huckabee then laughably denounced the left for trying to “shut down the view” of anti-gay companies, when “nobody is asking the left to do that.” Huckabee then called …

“The Supreme Court’s refusal to hear and uphold the First Amendment rights of Elaine Huguenin, a wedding photographer, are deeply disturbing. Does our nation’s highest court really believe the price of citizenship is the surrender of conscience? The Supreme Court ignored an opportunity to reaffirm the basic principle that the government may not trample on fundamental rights of free speech …

On Thursday hate group leader Brian Brown launched a petition in support of former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich. Late Friday afternoon he launched a boycott of Mozilla. “When Brendon Eich made his modest contribution to support Proposition 8, Barack Obama was on the ballot as a candidate who said he believed marriage was the union of one man and one …

“I had the honor of joining Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant (R) at the signing of SB2681 — the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and had the opportunity to thank him first-hand — and others who were instrumental in passing the bill — for their tremendous leadership in defending religious liberty.Unfortunately, political courage is in short supply these days. That’s …

Via press release by the Family Research Council: It hasn’t exactly been a banner week for the Southern Poverty Law Center, which not only lost the support of the FBI but just yesterday, lost a federal court case as well. The defeat, combined with all the negative press over the government’s growing wariness of the organization, is complicating matters for …

“This is a victory for the First Amendment and the right to live and work according to one’s conscience. This commonsense measure was a no-brainer for freedom, and like the federal RFRA, it simply bars government discrimination against religious exercise. The legislature gave strong approval to a bill that declares that individuals do not have to trade their religious freedom …

“This isn’t neutrality — it’s open rebellion. If we’re going to follow Christ, we need to follow Him in every aspect — including the biblical design for the family. And while there are several areas of Scripture that are open to interpretation, this isn’t one of them. I’m grateful for the pastors who have remained true to Scripture, but let’s …

“The honeymoon for same-sex ‘marriage’ was a short one in Michigan. Twenty-four hours after District Judge Bernard Friedman struck down the state’s marriage amendment, the 6th Circuit Court came to Michigan’s aid — ordering a halt to the ‘weddings’ that had broken out in four counties on Friday night. In some regions, clerks’ offices stayed open through the night and …

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 …

From KKK-affiliated hate group leader Tony Perkins: Dear Joe, The very future of America is at stake. What kind of country will we give to your children and grandchildren? Will we adhere to what Thomas Jefferson so eloquently called “the laws of nature and of nature’s God” in the Declaration of Independence? Or will we twist and distort that which …

On Friday an Indianapolis bakery announced on its Facebook page that it had turned away a gay couple that requested a cake for their commitment ceremony.  Last night Tony Perkins praised the couple for finding a “civil solution” by patronizing another bakery. A few weeks ago, the owners of 111 Cakery got a call from Mike Stephens and Shane Laney, …

Tony Perkins writes via press release: At the U.S. Air Force Academy, jets aren’t the only thing taking off. So is a campus-wide rebellion against the forces of political correctness. Frustrated by the school’s decision to scrub a Bible verse from one of the dorm whiteboards, cadets decided to take matters into their own hands. In a show of defiance, …
