AFA senior issue analyst conflates intentionally exposing a minor to HIV with 'homosexual sex'


Louisiana teacher Derrick Nesby allegedly had sex with a sixteen-year-old student and intentionally exposed that minor to HIV. Both sex with an underage person and intentionally exposing someone to the HIV virus is unlawful in the state of Louisiana.

Former CA assemblyman goes after 'pro-gay' Fox News


Steve Baldwin (no, not that one) used to serve in the California state assembly. Now he is an anti-gay activist who can't believe even some starts at his beloved Fox News is coming around to history's right side:


Megyn Kelly is a Fox News superstar but more than most Fox News personalities, she really drinks the homosexual propaganda kook-aid. She supports homosexual marriage and often equates, on-air, the rights of blacks to the rights of homosexuals, despite the complete lack of evidence tha...

Audio: 'Unbiased researcher' (ha, ha, ha!) Mark Regnerus plays anti-equality pundit, adviser


Mark Regnerus, the man behind perhaps the most discredited study in modern American history ("entirely unbelievable and not worthy of serious consideration"), is no longer even trying to pretend that he's an unbiased researcher. Today Regnerus appeared on the Catholic radio show of anti-gay voice Drew Mariani, where he repeatedly bemoaned the tide that is turning toward marriage equality and advised his movement—and it is his movement, let's be clear—on how to move forward in the anti-equalit...

Audio: Anti-gay leader claims courts will never succeed at doing exactly what they're succeeding (and how!) at doing


"Judges have traded the Constitution for tea leaves. Hello, I'm Tony Perkins with the Family Research Council in Washington. Last week, Federal Judge John Jones struck down Pennsylvania's marriage law saying that reading the tea leaves of the Supreme Court's Windsor ruling, where the court ruled that redefining marriage is a matter of the states foretold the inevitable redefinition of marriage.
