To be clear, Chick-fil-A's Dan Cathy is still promoting anti-gay voices, views


There have been recent reports about Chick-fil-A COO Dan Cathy choosing to back away from talking about same-sex marriage. That doesn't surprise me in the least, considering his anti-gay advocacy, despite what his defenders claim, has already harmed the company brand for years (decades?) to come.


But I want to be really clear about something: the man has not changed his views. The same guy who once claimed that things like marriage equality are "inviting God's judgment," suggested our equality...

FRC is hoping to raise over $1,100,000 by March 31. Which is weird, because they seem to have sent the associated press release to America-dwelling humans and not lamp-dwelling genies.

Heritage's Anderson: 'Ideology' behind marriage equality leads to more crisis pregnancies, abortions

If we create a culture where gay people growing up with the same marriage options as straight people, then there will be more heterosexual sex outside of marriage, and therefore for abortions. That is the latest from the throw-it-out-there-in-hopes-that-something-will-stick world of anti-LGBT politics:



"It's also a direct undercut of the virtue of chastity. When was the last time you heard someone who was in favor of same-sex marriage say that they also thought that there should be no sex outs...

NOM turning its 'march for marriage' into 'National Marriage Lobby Day'


As you surely know, there are a few ridiculous anti-equality bills currently languishing in Congress, the product of a far right that is determined to do absolutely nothing with its time other than present distractions rather than solutions. In a few months, the National Organization For Marriage, a political distraction if there ever was one, will dedicate its second annual "march for marriage" toward encouraging these time-wasting lawmakers to keep squandering precious energy, resources, an...

Photo: California's anti-trans coalition pretending it hasn't already lost


The Frank Schubert–masterminded coalition already failed in its attempt to repeal the law that simply safeguards transponder students hoping to attend California's public schools in peace. They just don't want to admit it:

Right. And Al Gore still has a chance in the recount.


The truth is that PFAS misspelled "fight." They really meant F-U-N-D-R-A-I-S-I-N-G.

Bill Donohue boycotts Guinness, Sam Adams; throws shade at Heineken


Check out this snark that Catholic-who-is-obsessed-with-all-things-gay Bill Donohue builds into his call to boycott the liquor companies that are taking stands against discrimination:

"I have had my last Guinness and Sam Adams. Heineken was always slop, so there is no sacrifice there. I urge Catholics, and all those who believe in tolerance, diversity, and the First Amendment, to join with me in boycotting these brews."



Bill Donohue


Ha. What a petty statement. He can't just be on the wrong side...

To be clear, both versions of "truth" have us in hell unless we "change." At the end of the day (or mortality, as it were) does it really matter if that advocacy happened on a street corner or on AFA radio?
