NOM: It's 'outrageous' how equality activists outraise us
I've written several posts about the odd and duplicitous way that National Organization For Marriage personalities refer to their historic losses in the 2012 election, specifically how they overlook the fact that our side's fundraising advantage in those races is itself a statement about where we are in this fight. But now check this one out. In his latest beg for cash, NOM prez Brian Brown goes so far as to call our 2012 cash advantage "outrageous":
The only time we've lost a state by popular...

Credible science vs. Peter 'I'd prefer to export homosexuals from the United States' Sprigg
The American Medical Association vocally opposes the ban on gay male blood donation because the AMA knows that (a) medical science is at a point where all blood donations can be (and are) vigorously screened for HIV/AIDS and (b) being a gay man does not automatically put someone in a "high risk" category.
You can trust the AMA, or you can trust one of the most viciously anti-LGBT organizations working today:
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Family Research Council (FRC) Senior Fellow Peter Sprigg today testi...
Having lost on marriage, IL's anti-LGBT org. takes to equating same-sex marriage with junk food
The anti-LGBT Illinois Family Institute has lots of extra energy to exert these days, what with never again having to fight the now-decided battle over marriage equality. Thus they have plenty of time to make fake nutritional labels, which are neither as humorous nor as biting as they surely think:

One must fill one's hours. Personally, I can't wait for their anti-equality diet plan.
NOM now half-step away from watching people have sex, making sure intercourse is proper and procreative
Modamily is a new website where people can match with folks who wish to become or to help others become parents. Everyone who uses the site chooses to do so on his or her own volition, and each individual knows what he or she is getting into when he or she signs up. One goes to the site because it is a site that matches one's wishes.
But leave it to the National Organization For Marriage to police not only our ring fingers but also our gametes. In a new post where they equate the whole process...
Audio: Cincinnati radio host thoroughly smacks down AFA's Bryan Fischer; 'why are you losing sleep over this?!'
Making the point that cross-dressing and drag in entertainment has a long history ranging from Shakespeare to Milton Berle, Ohio radio host Scott Spear throughly clobbered Bryan Fischer and his current obsession regarding the Macy's parade. It's quite delicious:
'They are going to hate us': How an aggressive anti-LGBT movement 'justifies' radical discrimination
Of all of the lines that the anti-LGBT conservatives use to "justify" their radical push for discrimination, this kind of thing might just annoy me the most:
I hear social conservatives say it all the time. "We are going to be hated the way Christ was hated." The idea is that the pro-equality movement's pushback and scrutiny means they are doing something good. Something biblical. Something right.
But they are wrong. The truth is that these anti-LGBT figures brin...

Audio: Brad Dacus, leading opponent of CA's trans rights law, prays LGBT people out of 'Satan's dominion'
Brad Dacus is one of the figures leading the charge to repeal California's law protecting transgender students. On the most recent agenda of his radio show, he admitted what his fight is really all about.
After interviewing both an "ex-transgender" and an "ex-gay," Dacus concluded with the following prayer to save people from "Satan's dominion":

This is what drives me so crazy about debates like the current one over trans rights in California. We know what the...
Melissa Klein shunned a lesbian customer because of her 'lifestyle'—but is 'shocked' at how mean people are
Melissa Klein made national headlines when she and her husband told a lesbian customer that they could not and would not make a cake for her wedding ceremony. But she's the "victim" of course:
SOURCE: Focus on the Family
"Better and nicer people"? What, because turning away a client while she's planning one of the happiest events of her life is both good and sweet?
I swear, while this movement and its militant push for discrimination is the obvious bad thing that brings us all to this fight, the...
Shimon Peres lights a candle for peace
Happy Chanukah:
Israeli President Endorses Gay Marriage [J.M.G.]
It's a workable plan for peace in the region, if you ask me. If there's anything that can heal decades of tension, it's a meticulously stocked open bar at a gay wedding.
It worked for cousin Norm and aunt Ida, so why not the West Bank?
