This morning Yes On 8 seemed resigned to Prop 8’s demise. The Family Research Council, however, is clinging to the belief that its repeal will be tied up in the courts for years.

“By a single vote, five unelected justices determined that they know better than God and struck at the heart of marriage in America. It was a powerful rebuke of a law FRC helped develop, the Defense of Marriage Act, but not the final blow. Fortunately, conservative leaders across our country aren’t about to let that happen. In interview after interview, …

“There will no longer be a special category for these 15 states — many of which are now at the forefront of elected minorities! From now on, these regions will have the same equal opportunity to define their voting laws as anyone else. For too long, states like Alabama, which brought the lawsuit, have been prisoners of history. Instead of …

“After months of holding our breath, the two sides of the marriage debate will finally be able to exhale when the U.S. Supreme Court finally rules on the institution next week. The decisions, two of the biggest in our lifetimes, may fundamentally alter marriage in law, but regardless of the outcome, no court can ever alter marriage. This week, 211 …

In anticipation of the coming Supreme Court rulings, a coalition of Christianist and anti-gay hate groups have jointly issued yet another blah blah fucking blah blah declaration that they will never bow to Obama’s police state and obey laws regarding same-sex marriage. An excerpt: Experience and history have shown us that if the government redefines marriage to grant a legal …

“I am thankful for the support of my colleagues in passing amendments that are important to the State of Texas and the entire country, prioritizing the needs of our servicemen and women who daily sacrifice their lives to promote and defend our nation’s freedom. As this legislation is debated before the full Senate, I will work to ensure these measures …

“After two decades of debate, the legislation has new legs under President Obama, who said earlier in the month that the Senate needs to get the measure ‘done now.’ Like most liberals, Harry Reid disguises the bill as an anti-discrimination policy when in fact, the bill itself discriminates against men and women who oppose cross-dressing or blatant homosexuality on the …

This weekend the Family Research Council would like all Christians to pray that soldiers are allowed to abuse gay troops in the name of Jesus, that the Supreme Court rejects same-sex marriage, that the Boy Scouts fall apart, and that self-hating gay people become brainwashed. And also, apparently, that there will be more scandals for the Obama administration.

“President Obama can’t veto the First Amendment, so he’s doing the next best thing: refusing to let his troops exercise it. In his most combative move yet, the administration warned Congress yesterday that it strongly opposes Rep. John Fleming’s religious freedom amendment, which sailed through the House Armed Services Committee with bipartisan support. Now, the administration is taking its spite …

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has issued a statement about the South Carolina public high school student who recited the Lord’s Player during his valedictorian address. The Freedom From Religion Foundation is placing the blame for a string of problematic religious violations in Pickens County schools, Pickens S.C., upon its prayerful Board of Education. [snip] “The valedictorian who so insensitively …

“Fortunately, Congress is as frustrated with the hypocrisy as the rest of us. Yesterday, thanks a marathon mark-up on the Defense Authorization bill, sleepy members didn’t make it home until 2 a.m.– in part because they were so intent on passing a series of religious protections. Rep. John Fleming (R-La.), the author of one such amendment, urged his colleagues to …

“If the President doesn’t respect America’s views on marriage, what makes us think he would respect other countries’? Certainly not his latest USAID project. In April, to relatively little fanfare, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) embarked on one of the most shocking abuses of taxpayer dollars in the last five years. With help from the Levi Strauss Foundation …

“If you’re wondering what happens in an organization that doesn’t have leadership or moral courage, look no farther than the Boy Scouts of America. After the BSA knuckled under to activists’ demands, the effects are already starting to show. As FRC predicted, it took no time at all for the influence of the radical Left to seep into a group …

“While other businesses drift away from their principles or capitulate under pressure, Exxon is putting its stock in something other than political correctness.  For the 14th straight year, shareholders voted to maintain their reputation as a company that upholds the commonsense principle that managers should be able to determine what conduct contributes to and what conduct detracts from the effective …

“After an incredible run, Rep. Michele Bachmann  announced that she’s retiring from Congress at the end of her term. For eight years, she served more than the people of Minnesota–she served the families of America with her tireless stand for conservative values. A proud voice for life and marriage, Michele never shied away from a fight–and our movement is better …

“BSA councils, Scouting parents, and leaders of the faith-based organizations that charter over two-thirds of the packs and troops, must now decide how to respond to this moral compromise. Many will separate from the organization so that they can continue to foster character among boys and respect the right of parents to discuss issues of sexuality with their sons.It is …

From their website: Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement regarding the charges filed in the Mark Carson murder case in New York City: “We denounce any and all acts of unprovoked violence. No American should be the target of violence – period. We hope and trust that justice will be served in that the perpetrator of …

“President Obama is finally admitting that sexual assault is a serious problem in the military, but what he hasn’t conceded is that his policy on homosexuality helped create it. According to a new Pentagon survey, most of the victims were not female (12,000 incidents), but male (14,000), highlighting a growing trend of same-sex assault in our ranks. How could this …

“The Boy Scouts may not realize it yet, but they’re voting on a lot more than just dropping the prohibition against open homosexuality next Thursday. When the National Council meets in Texas on May 23, homosexuality is just a preview of the broader strategy to redefine the Scouts. In USA Today, the drumbeat has already started to topple the BSA’s …
