There are not two perspectives on whether you can pray away the gay
Another state legislature, this time in New York, is pushing to join New Jersey and California in banning the scientifically discredited snake oil known as reparative therapy, as least as it applies to minors. This very much upsets Stephen Hayford of the anti-gay New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms:
"[T]he government's going to decide which perspective on a sensitive issue like adolescent sexuality is the correct one and then heavy handedly legislate in ways that silence one perspective on...

Diane Keaton + '90s nostalgia + gay stuff = just take my money now
According to Hollywood blogger Nikki Finke, Disney and original star Steve Martin are ready to go on a third edition of the Father of the Bride franchise. With a twist:
The twist in this threequel is that Little Matty is now 29 and gay and getting married to a Navy SEAL’s son. Father of the bride George is "thunderstruck and speechless" and has problems with the whole gay thing. So wife Nina kicks him out of the house, according to the pitch which Disney loved.
Father of the Bride Turns Gay [N...
'Old school prude' AFA president calls Michael Sam kiss 'gross,' 'immoral, unhealthy and unnatural'
Tim Wildmon is a new-school tolerant who thinks gay sex is hottttttttttttttt.
Oh no, wait a minute—I got him confused with someone else. This is Tim and these are his real views:
Straight America is scared to death of offending or potentially offending gay, lesbian and transgender people and their powerful movement. It's really embarrassing to watch. They say "Jump!" and most Americans say, "How high?" Sometimes they just say, "Ju..." and the straight people start doing jumping jacks as fast as...
Focus on the Family falls off the wagon, returns to its anti-gay addiction
For the past two weeks, Focus on the Family has dedicated its weekly email blast to its old standby of a topic: Blasting homosexuality. Stand by for hostility toward a natural sexual orientation coupled with a picture of a shrimp on a fork:
What's notable about this is that it's actually a departure from the current era of Focus on the Family. Under Jim Daly's leadership, Focus has shied away from its overt promotion of gay "change" and been generally more mealy-mouthed about its long held obs...
NOM's Plante owns it: NOM trying to 'turn the clock back on marriage'
Promoting the upcoming March For Marriage to the American Family Association's extremely anti-gay audience, National Organization For Marriage spokesman Chris Plante says the following about NOM's goal:
[SOURCE]
On the highlighted part, I am in complete agreement with Plante's assessment of the goal. NOM does, in fact, want the clocks to run backwards. NOM's goal is to take us back, nor forward. NOM wants to dismantle progress because NOM liked the world where certain kinds of Americans were le...

Audio: Yes, Ryan Anderson, your anti-gay 'moral convictions' absolutely matter
On last night's edition of John Stossel's Fox Business show, unmarried marriage "expert" Ryan Anderson (of Heritage Foundation) yet again instructed the uninformed dolts of American on the proper way we must love and marry and raise families in this country. But that part was just sort of whatever. I mean, it's what Ryan does for a living. It's the gig he has chosen. I don't accept anything other than his unique blend of cockiness and Catholicism.
But this part really annoyed me. Listen to the...
