Rhode Island marriage tweets
Unfortunately, tonight's House Judiciary Hearing on marriage will not be live streamed. Live tweets will have to do:
GLAAD: Tony Perkins warns his supporters: When you talk, people might listen
The agenda for today's anti–#ri4m rally
A bishop, a man who says gay people treat their children like teacup dogs, and the head of an SPLC-designated hate group:






Bryan Fischer gives Louie Giglio an ultimatum: Redouble your anti-gay words or 'shirk your heavenly duty'
A man most known for his viciously anti-LGBT rhetoric, the American Family Association's Bryan Fischer, wants answers and HE WANTS THEM NOW:
Every advance of the homosexual agenda comes at the expense of religious liberty. You [Louis Giglio] have become the new Rosa Parks, sent to the back of the cultural bus because you are considered socially unacceptable. You have meekly allowed yourself not just to be sent to the back of the bus but thrown off the bus entirely instead of standing your grou...

I just finished reading an advance copy of John's next book (which I *highly* recommend), so I knew this sounded out-of-line with what John thinks and feels. Plus I had listened, in full, to the conversat...
