From the Family Research Council’s clip description: As Ontario’s Christian Horizons ministry knows all too well, standing up for your religious beliefs has its price. In 2008, the organization was fined $23,000 by Canada’s Human Rights Tribunal for asking employees to sign onto a “morality statement” which included a promise not to engage in homosexual relationships. Connie Heintz, a Horizons …

“After tasting the success of Walker’s policies, Wisconsin handed its leader an even bigger victory this time (140,000 more votes) than it did in 2010. What changed? No doubt Mayor Barrett’s shift on marriage had something to do with it. During the May debate, the Mayor was asked about his stance on same-sex ‘marriage’–which Barrett had opposed during his congressional …

They’re only on screen for less than a second, but predictably Tony Perkins is furious that a gay couple is shown in a new international ad promoting U.S. tourism. Via Right Wing Watch: In 236 years, America’s never had an international tourism ad. So when Congress passed the Travel Promotion Act, people thought it’d be a great chance to highlight …

“Yesterday I was interviewed by a Voice of America reporter who obviously had a perspective on this that was different than mine and said ‘we heard all of this talk about this was going to be horrible for the military and the military was going to be decimated by this, and here we are 12 months later and we haven’t …

GLAAD president Herdon Graddick today cheered the manner in which CNN host Brooke Baldwin handled her interview with hate group leader Tony Perkins. Thursday afternoon, CNN’s Brooke Baldwin gave an almost textbook example of how to tell a complete story when dealing with an anti-gay activist. Joining Baldwin was Tony Perkins, there to speak about his 3PM press conference opposing …

“Considering that ten of the sixteen key battleground states have marriage amendments that could be overturned by the President’s new policy position on marriage, his announcement almost ensures that marriage will again be a major issue in the presidential election. The critical swing states of Ohio, Colorado, Virginia, Florida, and North Carolina, and possibly Pennsylvania, are now much more likely …

And your Hypocrisy Meter just exploded.

And Tony Perkins sits right there on national television and boldly LIES that churches are being forced to host gay weddings.

You MUST watch this.

Enjoy!

“To cable news viewers, he’s just the conservative guy who comes on sometimes to talk about gay stuff from a Republican point of view. But Perkins’ own statements will show you that those positions don’t come from politics. They are the result of pure animus towards gay people, and a belief that they’re doing the work of ‘the enemy.’ You …

If you can bear it, today the Family Research Council released a 30 minute lie-filled attack of LGBT families. Many of the most notorious hate group leaders appear to reassert lies that have long been discredited. Beyond repulsive.

Responding to Tony Perkins’ call for prayers for Dan Savage, a clever JMG reader has repurposed a YouTube classic. I sent the clip to Dan this morning and he’s posted it with this response: Oh, Tony. If quoting their own scriptures to Christians amounts to “persecuting Christians,” then every Baptist minister in the country is guilty of persecuting Christians. And …

Before the vote was finalized last night, Tony Perkins appeared on CNN where host Piers Morgan asked him what he would do if his own child turned out to be gay. Think Progress provides the below clip.

“I would put out this challenge to folks who are listening: to put Dan Savage on the top of your prayer list and pray for him because I believe he has the potential to be a modern day Saul of Tarsus. I mean, just think if the Lord got a hold of his heart and changed him and turned him …
