Audio: 'If homosexuality was a drug you could buy at the store…' #ri4m
From tonight's Rhode Island Senate Judiciary Committee debate on marriage:
Audio: Chris & Kara Young show discrimination's unchecked extremities #ri4m
Just happened at the Rhode Island marriage debate. Kara spent most of her time comparing us to pedophiles and condemning us as "immoral":
Performance art that both entertains and helps our side. Keep it up!!!
*Remember a few months back when the National Organization For Marriage posted those heinous v...
ADF praying for 'God to manifest goodness' in Edie Windsor's life
Edie Windsor has lived on this planet for eighty-three years, and was fortunate enough to share forty of those with the love of her life, Thea Spyer. So with all due respect, Alliance Defending Freedom, I think Ms. Windsor is doing just fine without your calls for "God to manifest goodness" in her life:
[ADF]
We should all be so lucky to live our lives with as much style, grace, and passion as the magnificent Edie Windsor.






Osmond family members host Utah version of NOM's #marriagemarch
This will coincide with the Supreme Court cases and the National Organization For Marriage's march in DC:
SOURE: A Well-Behaved Mormon Woman
As you might know, Marie Osmond has a lesbian daughter. But I guess "My gay niece doesn't deserve equal rights" wasn't as catchy of a subtitle.






Um, because no one's saying it's "better," NOM Comm Director
His canards are constant:
1m1w marriage has no bigger fan than myself. If you invite me to your man/woman marriage, I will shout the loudest "mazel tov!" when the glass breaks, raise my glass the highest at the cocktail hour, dance until I'm the tiredest on the dance floor, gift you with the finest thing on your registry, and send you off on your honeymoon with a mix of both trip-envy and delight. I love a wedding. I love love.
I didn't name my site Better Than You because (a) it doesn't spell...
Bryan Fischer wants Obama's 'dark minions' disbarred over DOMA
He's got a way with words, this one:
"[S]o eager are Obama and his dark minions at the DOJ to drive a stake through the heart of natural marriage that they are making an eye watering attempt to get DOMA before the Supreme Court in the hopes that SCOTUS will drive the final nail in the coffin of man-woman marriage. They are trying to elbow out the House attorneys - who do have the right to appeal to SCOTUS since the lower court ruling went against them - and file an appeal themselves even thoug...
Far-right itching to turn Doug Mainwaring's solo act into an orchestra
Earlier this year, I wrote a post about how the National Organization For Marriage is attempting to portray one human being, Tea Party leader Doug Mainwaring, as if he is an entire coalition. Ya see, Mr. Mainwaring identifies as a gay man opposed to marriage equality, so groups like NOM are itching to make him seem like the face of a movement rather than as the face of Doug Mainwaring. They do this by writing all kinds of posts and thing about Mr. Mainwaring but keeping it vague about it bein...
FRC literally praying for Olson, Boies, et al. to have bad day in court
When all else fails, pray that the lawyers forget how to perform in court:
Reminiscent of when the Focus on the Family guy prayed for it to rain out then-candidate Obama's convention speech.






'Times' report: Dwindling number of younger professional conservatives cling to discrimination; hope slick rebranding will save their cause
The New York Times is running a piece this morning on the small and dwindling percentage of younger voters who oppose marriage equality. Here's one particularly annoying snip, delivered by NOM "March For Marriage" speaker Eric Teetsel:
“Proponents of same-sex marriage have done a fantastic job of telling the story of same-sex marriage through music and television and film,” said Eric Teetsel, 29, the executive director of the Manhattan Declaration, which describes itself as a movement of Chris...
