Video: Pastor Hagee says God's probably going to destroy us unless 'the righteous' stand up

RightWingWatch caught this, a shockingly non-shocking bit of antagonism designed for the cultivation thereof:



I say it's non-shocking, because this is part for Mr. Hagee's rancorous course. It's kind of his thing.


But I say shockingly non-shocking, because he is quite literally telling people that they have to rise up against marriages like mine, by any means necessary, so as to keep God from fireballing the universe. The fact that this is just a standard (and even celebrated) part of our disco...

Head of org. that calls homosexuality 'particularly evil lie of Satan' promotes NOM's marriage march

And now here's Jim Daly, the man who is hung up on having a "softer" tone even though his organization's mission has not changed one iota, promoting the upcoming pro-discrimination march outside of the Supreme Court:


You sound passionate, Jim. Hopefully on the day of the event, you'll have enough passion to admit what your organization admits right on the "marriage and family" section of your official website:

NOM's Roback Morse: Gays 'can stop acting in a gay way'

Carlos Maza brings us another quip from the one National Organization For Marriage senior staffer who is most on record admitting that she wants gay people to stop being gay:





NOM's Morse: Gay Rights Aren't Civil Rights Because Gay People Can "Stop Acting In A Gay Way" [Equality Matters]


The "ex-lesbian" she is talking about is Linda Jernigan. This would be the same Linda Jernigan who says homosexuality is "Satan's plan," who says "you have to be in an inebriated state" to have gay sex, and who...

Second Scythian member comes out against NOM's #marriagemarch, his bandmates' appearance at it


Earlier this week, I showed you how Scythian rummer Andrew Toy came out against his band mate's decision to form an alternate trio and perform at the National Organization's upcoming pro-discrimination march outside of SCOTUS. Now Josef Crosby, who handles Violin/Bass/Vocals duties for the main band, has issued his own impassioned statement against the three members' decision to forever connect the band's musical reputation to an event that has no purpose other than to deny certain American t...

Video: Jim Garlow sets June 9 for pointed politicization of America's churches

Right as summer is set to begin, "Prop 8 pastor" Jim Garlow will turn his attention, and as that of as many of the nation's pastors and he can recruit, toward making life just a little colder for same-sex couples who want to move forward in peace, love, and fairness:

FRC, NOM, ADF, Heritage issue sleek new brochure; sleekness can't polish this discriminatory turd


Despite its obvious misapplication and undeniably biased motivations, the following document cites the Regnerus study multiple times. It also rehashes some of those same Maggie-Gallagher-crafted talking points that we've been hearing (and beating back) for more than a decade now. All of it wrapped up in a polished, nice-looking package in an attempt to frame gay people and our freedom to marry as a threat rather than an asset:
