FRC: Inclusive Boy Scouts at war with God; will ruin lives, destroy society
The latest round of Family Research Council "Prayer Targets"
By embracing such “change,” the Boy Scouts would become a pawn in an effort to advance an agenda at war with the God of the Bible. We who read Scripture know this radical social experiment will lead only to ruined lives (Rom 1:27) and societal destruction (Jude 7). The advocates of this policy fail to perceive or understand the seriousness of their sin (Mt 18:6; Jn 10:10).
Over the years, millions of families have entrusted their sons...
Move over, big gulps and trans fats: NY looks to ban another unhealthy choice
Here in the New York City, the finest grocery stores stock all kinds of pricey oils. From basic olive to the more exotic sacha inchi, oils of all kinds are at the culinary minded consumer's disposal.
But while some of these oils skew toward the unhealthy yet are still sometimes utilized due to their downright deliciousness, there is one oil that just won't fly in a state that values its LGBT population. I'm speaking of course of snake oil, the product the the so-called "ex-gay" movement has b...
Video: Hollywood for marriage equality
Kathy Bates is an "abso-fucking-lutely!" For Harrison Ford, "marriage equality is a good thing." Shirley MacClaine doesn't "think of marriage at all." Cher, channeling her Moonstruck character, says society should "snap out of it." And Kurt Russell is just kind of confusing.
"Traipsing Thru Films" brings us those and more in this pair of refreshingly candid red carpet vids:
NOM's new 'heroic marriage champion': RI senator who condemned our 'vile affections' and 'acts of sodomy' #ri4m
In his twelve minute floor speech (/sermon), Rhode Island senator Harold Metts (D-Providence/Slater) viciously condemned gay people as having "vile affections," called "acts of sodomy" an "abomination to God," warned that ancient civilizations were destroyed for going against God and intimated that our LGBT-accepting society is going the same way, claimed "Satan and gunmen have come in" to our schools (with inclusive school books as his followup example), and intimated that people can just up...

NOM writes another blog post, another misrepresentation (but I repeat myself)
Check this one. I'm snipping the whole post because you need it all for context:
[NOM Blog]
Okay, let's start at the beginning: the idea of a stunt surrounding a wedding. Does NOM really want to go down that road? I mean, we live in a world where men and women go on several different television shows in hopes that their televised dating will culminate in a marriage proposal. We have a whole culture surrounding the commerce side of weddings and the "Bridezillas" who eat it all up. Vegas is a lon...
Convenient definition of 'heterosexism' ya got there, NOM's Jennifer Roback Morse
Listen to this short clip of National Organization For Marriage employee Jennifer Roback Morse speaking to students at the conservative Grove City College:
[SOURCE: Ruth Institute]
Listen to how she defines the term. Roback Morse makes it sound as if heterosexism is a repudiation of the idea that heterosexuality is normal when, in fact, the term is actually a challenge to the idea that heterosexuality is the *ONLY* norm. The term is pretty much defined by this, the part that she so negligently...
Illinois' top anti-equality group: Marriage equality = 'human degradation' #il4m
Those opposing marriage equality in the Land of Lincoln give legislators another reason to stand against the harshness that has come to define their side of the debate. This time, gay acceptance corrupts the family and degrades the human person:
"There have been times in history during which approval of homosexuality was pervasive. Deviant desire conspired with a host of sophistical ideas, including false religious teachings, to defend homosexuality as good. What these societies shared too was...
