Anti-equality groups are a-spinnin'; here's Focus on the Family's version
It's seriously like the far-right anti-LGBT crowd, whose work was essentially put on a notice in the President's historic inaugural speech, is trying to workshop new lines in hopes that one of them will stick.
This one comes from Focus on the Family's Carrie Gordon Earll:
“President Obama’s policies to dismantle one-man and one-woman marriage in federal law and to require faith-based organizations and faith-holding companies to provide faith-violating health care coverage run contrary to the wo...

Fischer claims Giglio stands by anti-gay sermon; which is why, today, he will sit
Take it for what it's worth:
I'm trying to get the actual statement. Because, you know—it's Bryan Fischer. Forgive me if I prefer the horse's mouth over the man who puts my sexuality just a hop, skip, and "neigh" away from wanting to smooch a horse's mouth.
Meanwhile, Giglio's name is apparently still in the official program, right behind openly gay Richard Blanco (and before honorary gay Beyoncé):
Poetic.
Viciously anti-gay Matt Barber laughs at liberals; libs unlikely to hear him, what with the resounding roar from the Capitol Mall
Matt Barber, a man who has called President Obama and "anti-American enemy" and said that gay relationships constitute "one man violently cramming his penis into another man’s lower intestine and calling it ‘love’,” has determined that he holds possession to Christ's heart, the moral high ground, and the ultimate victory in an America where his far-right movement's influence threatens to derail the GOP's electability for years to come:
First, I put my full faith and trust in the Sovereign Crea...
NOM president draws from Dr. King's legacy to save married gays from 'false promises' that bring 'sadness and even despair'
It's a truly shameful way to honor both Dr. King and today's historic inauguration of a pro-equality POTUS. As might be expected, it comes from none other than Brian Brown, the president of America's most notable house of 21st century discrimination:
But as I reflect on the America we live in today and the society we are building for my eight children, I can't help but be concerned. Too many of our people live in poverty. They are impoverished not only by unemployment and the throes of a strug...

No Bible is going to accept gays on Tony Perkins' watch
FRC king Tony Perkins is not going to be downloading Queen James anytime soon:
[FRC]
Well, at least he admits that human sexuality can't change. We've been saying that for years, T-dog.
They called him 'militant' too
An AP wire story from 1956:
'Great marriages are achieved by perseverance' reminds self-appointed marriage obstructionist group
NOM wants you to know that the best marriages belong to those who overcome:
Translation: Every gay person everywhere is destined to have an amazing marriage, thanks precisely to groups like NOM.

Video: 'Queers are under direction possession by…millions...of demons from the pits of hell'
This facial hair and the face attached to it are here to remind you of what makes gay people gay. I don't want to spoil it but—demons. It's demons.
Enjoy:
Glad that's settled. I have sooooo much to do today in order to care for my millions of demons. One less thing.
