Look what draped over MN's anti-equality crowd today as they rallied against fairness


"The Legalization of Homosexuality Induce [sic] Children To Gay Relationships"

[h/t @dfreshy975]


When they tell us it's "the legalization of homosexuality" that they're really after, I suggest we listen.

**WHOA, it's worse than I thought. My pal Jake Loesch (who works for equality in the state) caught this:

19 Days until SCOTUS. Vow to do something. #time4marriage


There are nineteen days until the Supreme Court hears the historic marriage cases. If you can make it to Washington, DC, then that's awesome. If not, there are still plenty of ways you can help in your area.


Just do something. Organizing info at link:

Such charming views on the other side:

Note: The TFP group (Tradition, Family, Property) to which this person links for support is one of the National Organization For Marriage's official march co-sponsors. TFP is that truly eye-opening group I wrote about yesterday over on NOM Exposed.


Keep talking, opposition. The world is listening.

And now a CPAC supporter shows CPAC what it's supporting/encouraging


Joseph Farah, WorldnetDaily publisher, has the whole marriage equality thing figured out. While defending his cherished CPAC conference from the crushing weight of gayness, Farah called same-sex marriage...


"one of the most radical ideas considered since child sacrifice"

Gay Marriage = Child Sacrifice [J.M.G.]


So that's clear.


No word on the value Mr. Farah places on same-sex adoptions. Child cannabilism, one assumes?

Ever-deceptive FRC twists 50+ yr old hit piece into supposed battle plan


The exceedingly anti-gay Family Research Council begins its latest round of "Prayer Targets" with this:

The Naked Communist was not an actual book written by actual communists—it was a conservative hit piece in which Cleon Skousen, a rabidly conservative anti-Communist (he worked with the John Birch Society), drummed up "Red Scare" era fears with this list of supposed goals. These were not actual goals but rather conservative fears that they wanted to use to sca...

Shortsighted scapegoaters shapelessly shaft President Obama's shifting


Has President Obama shifted his position on marriage over the years? Yes and no.


I say yes because he's clearly gone from seemingly supporting marriage equality while a state senator to opposing it when running for president to now supporting it with a full

But I also say no because it's most likely that Barack Obama, the human being wh...

Michigan winter winding down; cold chapter of state's history to follow suit?


I second my pal Joe—this potentially historic marriage case in Michigan was not at all on my radar:


SNIP: U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman will hear arguments in the case Thursday at a Detroit law school, although he hasn't indicated when he'll make a ruling. If he concludes the amendment violates the U.S. Constitution, gay-marriage supporters say same-sex couples would immediately be allowed to wed and adopt children.

So he's...
