Anti-equality crowd crafts new symbol (*by co-opting one pro-equality movement's been using for five years)
Anti-gay activist Dran Reese thinks she's found a new emblem:
The new campaign, "God's Marriage Bow," was created by the Salt & Light Council, who is backing a new movement. They want supporters of traditional marriage to wear white bows in symbolic reference to the unity and purity of traditional marriage.
"The white color stands in contrast to the rainbow colors that advocate same-sex marriage," Dran Reese, President of the Salt & Light Council, said in a statement.
"Rainbows are meant to show...
Why anti-gays are losing: Because their commentators insist Satan is our thought leader
From conservative commentator Paul Kokoski:
The Bible tells us that Satan has the ability to "appear as an angel of light." Nowhere is this more evident than in the radical attempt to promote homosexuality in society today as something good. For the purpose of deceiving Mankind and destroying souls, Satan has thus given the homosexual lobby the following 10 commandments.

The American Family Association's annual advocacy for truancy
They never really get any mileage out of these annual attempts to turn themselves into the "victims" of the anti-bullying Day of Silence. But they still try:
The same groups who foster an anti-LGBT climate continue their penchant for shirking any and al responsibility by literally turning a blind eye to this apparent problem. What a movement!
Video: NOM's Roback Morse out to 'right' Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly; riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
In more comments that I could ever fully track, National Organization For Marriage employee Jennifer Roback Morse has told us that Catholicism is what truly guides her advocacy against marriage equality. She has admitted that she and her fellow conservative Catholics don't really “accept the category of gayness” and has, on numerous occasions, instructed gays to live celibate lives (we can only have "chaste friendships," she insists). For much more of that see Ms. Roback Morse's GLAAD CAP pro...

Sen Mark Pryor opposes equality (a.k.a got bad advice, just alienated younger voters, could very well get primaried)
Sen. Manchin (D-WV) has said nothing, and Sen. Landrieu (D-LA) has said she supports equality on a personal but not a political level. But now we have one Senate (D) who is officially on record against equal civil rights for his constituents who are in same-sex relationships:

I remember the days when Sen. Kennedy was an outlier for his strong support for nondiscrimination. This is not that.
Finally, an honest conservative owns his movement's drive to make us unequal
From Liberty Counsel and Liberty University personality Matt Barber:
I fully and emphatically support your embrace of this silly meme, Matthew! Go ahead—make this the official flag under which your movement marches. Tell the American public that your rights are greater than mine. Swing your banner wildly, with every thrust assuring your mind that I am lesser than you. Hell, make mugs and keychains and pass them out to your friends. Go from a "pro-marriage" to a "pro-supremacy" move...
Video: YouTuber 'cures' attraction to women with zombie vids, self-baptism, debates w/ 'the enemy'
My heart goes out to anyone who is hurting, as this YouTuber so clearly is. However, I think she might be focusing on the wrong components, and I know she's offering the wrong advice:
Anti-LGBT agenda is FRC's cash cow; media should milk it
Yesterday on GLAAD blog, I made note of the Family Research Council's extreme and pronounced stand against homosexuality, and I made the case for the media noting the harsh resistance whenever and wherever an FRC staffer appears. Today, a related component of the overall conversation.
What follows is the donation page on FRC's newly polished website. Check out the major focus:
Of the six "hottest issues" that FRC lists as reason for potential supporters to part with their cash, four are fully a...
