Video: CNN anchor points out Bryan Fischer's true extremism
The American Family Association's Bryan Fischer likens the Southern Poverty Law Center's anti-bullying efforts to "poisonous Halloween candy." But when it really gets good is when anchor Carol Costello uses his own words against him:
[vid via EQ Matters]
Folks, this is exactly what we have been asking with the GLAAD Commentator Accountability Project. When the MSM books these figures, they need to mention the words that they themselves chose to put on the record. That is not an unfair request....
NOM's cultural director wants you to be more tolerant of drug dealing–, pedophilia–, incest–linking video
You know that new NOM video where marriage equality, drug dealing, incest, and pedophilia are deliberately lumped together as societal negatives? Yeah, well—NOM's cultural director and blogger, Thomas Peters, can't believe people aren't more "tolerant" of it:

First, I must note how this comment is so true to the form of NOM in general and Thomas in particular. In reality, the 537 comments (as of this writing) on the majority-disliked video are as wide ranging as one would expect. But t...
Video: Noted thespian Victoria Jackson deeply ponders the character of God
In the past, she has called gay parenting child abuse, equated lesbians with heorin addicts, said our inclusive armed forces are a sign of the end of the world, claimed "the enemy" changed the meaning of the term gay, and much, much more.

And of course I'm blocked from any further comment. Because I always am, no matter how on message, measured, or pertinent my views.

'Proctect' Marriage Maine
I've always wondered what groups like "Protect Marriage Maine" are really trying to do, since protection itself seems like a really silly goal. But now It finally makes sense. Turns out they're not trying to protect at all—they are actually hoping to "proctect":
(*appears at top of all PMM webpages)
Now, I can't find an actual definition of "proctect," so I'm just going to assume it's some little known verb that means "to make more discriminatory." Right? Because let's face it, making marriage...
A social media tip for Preserve Marriage Washington
If your weekend rally was filled with far more pro-equality (green) signs than it was anti-equality (red) signs, it's probably best if you keep that picture…
More pictures, same results: PMW Facebook page
...to yourselves.
I mean, yes, we all know that green, the color of go, is ultimately going to prevail over red's harsh stops. But aren't you all supposed to be hiding that inevitability from the public? I hardly see how this helps.
