SAD TROMBONE: FRC’s Tony Perkins Is Demoralized Over Prop 8

“Despite our confidence that FRC and its allies can appeal this decision–as it has in every blow to marriage over the past 17 years–there’s no denying how demoralizing this ruling feels. Maybe you drove for hours to rallies over Prop 8. Maybe you went door-to-door asking people to sign petitions in Maine. Or maybe you gave money that you couldn’t …

NOM Rides The DOMA Waambulance

NOM is predictably stamping their cloven hooves about yesterday’s DOMA ruling. “Under the guidance of Elena Kagan’s brief that she filed when she was Solicitor General, Obama’s justice department deliberately sabotaged this case,” charged Brian Brown, President of NOM, referring to the Justice Department’s brief which described DOMA as discriminatory. Despite the explicit language in DOMA that the law was …

PhoboQuotable – Tony Perkins

“The Supreme Court, by a 5-4 ruling, now says that no university can give its imprimatur to discriminatory organizations if that university has an ‘all-comers’ policy of requiring every group to accept every membership applicant. In this case, the Court is suggesting that orthodox Judeo-Christian teaching against homosexual conduct is untenable on America ‘s university campuses. This is a grave …

PFOX Complains: The PTA Won’t Let Bigots Like Us Come To Their Convention!

“Ex-gay” group PFOX is stamping their widdle footies because the PTA says they don’t allow hate groups to come to their national convention. PFOX says they called and emailed for eight months, requesting a booth at the convention, only to finally be told they don’t meet the PTA’s standards. Via Christian Newswire: “Why is it gay groups meet the PTA …

Houston Pastors Want Mayor Annise Parker’s Non-Bias Order Rescinded

Last month openly lesbian Houston Mayor Annise Parker issued a sweeping non-bias order granting employment protections to LGBT workers “at every level of municipal government.” Predictably, the city’s Christianists are screaming about men in dresses. “Forcing women in particular using city facilities to be subjected to cross-dressing men invading their privacy is beyond the pale and offensive to every standard …

Quote Of The Day – Peter LaBarbera

“What about the hateful rhetorical attacks against me and AFTAH and nasty shibboleths that come routinely from the Left? ‘Porno Pete’? Honestly, this is the type of malicious, hateful slander I experience on a daily basis (it is analogous in its ugliness to Phelps’ use of the term “Fag”). It appears the SPLC has a glaring double standard that you …

HCR: Wingnuts Ride The Waaambulance

Right Wing Watch has posted a compilation of wingnut group reactions to yesterday’s health care reform vote. A sampling: The Eagle Forum: “Any formerly pro-life Democrat who voted ‘Yes’ on the Senate health care bill tonight will be forever remembered as being among the deciding votes which facilitated the largest expansion of abortion services since Roe v. Wade. Mr. Stupak …

PhoboQuotable – Brian Brown

“Maryland’s statutory law clearly states that ‘Only a marriage between a man and a woman is valid’ in Maryland. The Maryland Supreme Court upheld the law and stated clearly it was the province of the legislature to change it. What part of the law doesn’t the Attorney General understand? What other laws is he unwilling to enforce? This is an …

PhoboQuotable – Rick Santorum

“In light of the campaign of harassment and intimidation of Prop 8 proponents, [Judge] Walker’s most contemptible ruling would have had this show trial broadcast worldwide. The U.S. Supreme Court found he probably violated court rules in his attempt to take part in a “pilot project” allowing cameras in the courtroom. The Supreme Court blocked the effort, but by then …

NOM Responds To Judge Walker Outing

“In a story this Sunday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Prop 8 Judge Vaughn Walker is gay and called his orientation, ‘The biggest open secret in the landmark trial over same-sex marriage.’ We have no idea whether the report is true or not. But we do know one really big important fact about Judge Walker: He’s been an amazingly …

PhoboQuotable – Cathi Herrod

“It’s one thing to disagree on the issue of same-sex marriage. It’s quite a different matter to label those of us — really the millions not only in California and Arizona, but throughout this country — who stand for marriage between one man and one woman as ‘haters.’ Mrs. McCain has effectively called all of us ‘haters.’ That surprises me. …
