Audio: Heavy-hearted Rep. Harris announces no marriage vote until (at least) November
Rep. Greg Harris delivers the disappointing (read: unacceptable) news:
Next up, Rep. Deb Mel:
We will win.
It is proclaimed: Your Pride celebrations can begin

LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2013 ------- BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
For more than two centuries, our Nation has struggled to transform the ideals of liberty and equality from founding promise into lasting reality. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans and their allies have been hard at work on the next great chapter of that history -- fr...
More details about the anti-pride protest outside HRC building; Matt Barber to defend NOM (ha!)
Some of the most aggressively anti-gay speakers in America will gather outside of an LGBT rights office to inadvertently set their own movement back a few paces:
WASHINGTON, May 31, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Several Christian and pro-family organizations, along with individuals who have left the homosexual life style, will hold a news conference in front of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) building (1640 Rhode Island Ave., NW, Washington, D.C.) at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 4, to express their...
NOM's Comm. Director doesn't like my Comm.; deletes it
I left a simple comment giving some basic and documented truths about the Illinois Family Institute:

Dark and ominous clouds are coming unless you stop gay taxpayers from basic civil freedoms:
Anti-gay activists to hold anti-Pride press conference in front of HRC building

Illinois' leading anti-equality group: 'Radical homosexuals' keep 'pushing their immorality on us' #il4m #ILove
With only hours left in the legislative session, Illinois' reliably over the top "family policy" group wants to remind you of how anti-gay they are:
[IFI]
This is of course the same IFI that regularly pushes "ex-gay" therapy for gays, has a president who calls us "depraved" and "unnatural," and employs a senior researcher who frequently equates our love with things like pedophilia and incest. So yeah, they do work on things other than marriage. They also dedicate lots of time to telling society...

This is that one where Al Mohler equates someone who is gay with someone suffering from cancer
"Liberal churches have redefined compassion to mean that the church changes its message to meet modern demands.
They argue that to tell a homosexual he is a sinner is uncompassionate [sic] and intolerant. This is like arguing that a physician is intolerant because he tells a patient she has cancer."
—R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Physicians are trained in science. Cancer is a medical fact. Patients sign up for what is an informed diagnosis.
