Video: Nancy Grace's bizarre support for Anita Bryant

This is one of the weirdest things making its way around the LGBT news cycle today. On last night's edition of her eponymous show, HLN host Nancy Grace made a random (but obviously pre-planned, since producers had cued B-roll) reference to Anita Bryant, portraying the anti-gay activist as a mere Christian with "some conservative views" who was speaking on issues "near to her heart." Grace likened Bryant to her own mother. "A sweet lady," the TV host declares; and "beautiful" was the reason sh...

Anti-LGBT non sequitur of the day

Logical flow, per rabidly anti-LGBT partisan pundit Tony Perkins:

[@TPerkins]

Just hope POTUS doesn't chew gum near Tony. He'll turn it into proof that President Obama no longer cares about teaching babies how to walk.

Audio: NOM's Brian Brown can't stop comparing his discriminatory cause to The Civil Right Movement

From the 6/2 edition of "The Janet Mefferd Show":

"In American history, when a great injustice or untruth is being forced by the government...or otherwise, people have stood together and marched for the truth, hearkening back to The Civil Rights Movement, to other movements that stood up for justice and truth..."

Keep trying to rip people apart and then call it "unity," Brian. Your firm embrace of opposites will surely prove soothing here in an America where the majority publicly is dis...

NOM invested in two of today's primary candidates; long-shots in NJ & CA

--Jeff Bell, a man who has actually lived in Virginia for the past three decades, moved himself to New Jersey in hopes of becoming the Republican nominee to challenge Cory Booker for the U.S. Senate seat the intensely popular Democrat currently holds.

--Kirk Jorgensen, a conservative Republican, is hoping to beat back openly gay frontrunner Carl DeMaio in order to grab the Republican nomination for a congressional seat out of California's 52nd district.

These are NOM's two big hopes in today's...

NOM president now literally begging folks to show up to his silly little march

Considering nothing has gone well for the National Organization For Marriage in (at least) two years, I can't imagine they are succeeding in persuading folks to show up in D.C. on a random summer Thursday for a purposeless march that isn't tied to any legislative vote, court case, or development on the marriage front. The increasing desperation of NOM emails tells me I'm right:

[NOM]

Oh get up off your knees, B. At least take the defeat of your movement—a defeat you've very much helped deliver...

Having pretty much lost on 'LGB,' Southern Baptists look to stop 'T'

The Southern Baptist Convention is this week, where it is pretty much guaranteed that many on site will spend considerable time bemoaning their inability to stop the gay rights movement that they've obsessed over since the Carter administration. But of course anyone with even half an eye on the state side of the church/state wall knows that LGB activists are on the path to obvious and imminent victory, despite organizations like the SBC working to turn the culture hostile toward us, our lives...

Illinois anti-gay activist: Same-sex marriage 'as profoundly wrong as were legal prohibitions of interracial marriage'

Equal marriage begins today in Illinois. This is how Illinois Family Institute activist Laurie Higgins celebrates the historic day:

No, the debate will never go away. Legally recognizing homoerotic unions as marriages is as profoundly wrong as were legal prohibitions of interracial marriage. While prohibitions of interracial marriage were based on the false belief that blacks and whites are inherently different, prohibitions of same-sex “marriage” are based on the true belief that men and wome...

American Family Association senior analyst says gay activists have brought back slavery, refers to us as 'massa'

The American Family Association continues to prove that it is even more off the rails now than at any time in its four-decade history. For instance, because of LGBT people's simple request to be treated fairly when patronizing a business that purports to do business with the public, the organization's senior issues analyst has determined—and the AFA has provided him the platform to to spread—that we those of us who advocate for such freedom are just like earlier Americans who held a minority...

Peter LaBarbera welcomes Pride Month with reminder that gay-accepting America is doomed

The government is preserving landmarks important in LGBT rights history. Just another step toward our inevitable destruction, suggests longtime anti-LGBT activist Peter LaBarbera:

"I fear for our country, because when a nation starts celebrating sexual immorality as the norm and as a social good, then that nation cannot survive in the long run," he explains. "Every other civilization has been brought down for sexual immorality as part of the factors bringing it down, and I think the United Sta...

Read: Exceedingly anti-gay politico Tony Perkins' speech to Republican Leadership Conference

Tony Perkins, head of one of the most viciously anti-LGBT organizations inside the Beltway, has referred to LGBT activists as being "pawns" of "the enemy," claims gay people tend to have an "emptiness within them," says gay parents impose "distorted values" on their children, suggests LGBT teens try suicide because "homosexuals may recognize intuitively that their same-sex attractions are abnormal,” routinely equates homosexuality as being on par with drug abuse, vocally supports the idea tha...
