Speaker at today's Atlanta rally: Homosexuality 'gets you totally killed in the economy of God'
Bishop Wellington Boone is one of the high-profile speakers at today's rally in support of fired Atlanta fire chief Kelvin Cochran. You know, the same Wellington Boone who says that homosexuality is "in the same company with people who have sex with animals, or people who have sex with their granddaughters, or have sex with their daddies' wives," with all being met with "a capital punishment":

Wow. So shocked that this guy has no problem with an anti-gay fire...
NOM now distributing former Atlanta fire chief's anti-gay book
Here is how The New York Times describes the anti-gay passages in the book that earned former Atlanta fire chief Kelvin Cohran his current controversy:
He was fired on Jan. 6 by Atlanta’s mayor, Kasim Reed, for homophobic language in the book, “Who Told You That You Were Naked?” Among other things, he called homosexuality a “perversion,” compared it to bestiality and pedophilia, and said homosexual acts are “vile, vulgar and inappropriate.”

Megapastor T.D. Jakes aligning with extremely anti-gay Harry Jackson, Family Research Council
Over the years, famous pastor T.D. Jakes has shown discomfort when people like Oprah Winfrey have highlighted his anti-gay beliefs. In that same Oprah interview, he also denied that he is political and says he wants to be known for what he's for rather than what he's against.
Well, he seems to have gotten over that. Jakes is now aligning with political activist Harry Jackson, a key NOM ally who believes marriage equality is a "satanic plot to destroy our seed," as well as Tony Perkins, one of...
'NY Times' smacks back another fake 'religious freedom' case
The same predictable crew of people (Todd Starnes, the AFA, Tony Perkins, the ADF) have taken an employment matter in the city of Atlanta, in which the mayor fired the fire chief over the way he distributed and handled an anti-gay book that he wrote, into yet another one of their fake "religious freedom" cases. Today, some of those folks plan to rally in Atlanta, apparently believing that anti-gay people rallying in support of a person under scrutiny for being anti-gay somehow helps the scrut...

UPDATED (all three have dropped out): Fox News anchor, Coors exec, 'Forrest Gump' actor headline summit of anti-gay Catholic org.
Legatus is a very anti-gay organization of Catholics. Here are just two examples of the views that this organization pushes out to its members:
It’s impossible to see homosexual unions as being in line with God’s intentions for marriage since the product of intercourse is not fruitful. Along with masturbation, fornication, and adultery, homosexuality is a selfish act that cannot fulfill the divinely ordained purpose of the reproductive powers. The Church teaches that God instituted the sacrame...

Wild, man: American Family Association enters its third generation
In a new column, an American Family Association writer portrays homosexuality as "sexually immoral" and a "chosen lifestyle," calls on gay people to repent, and brags that a small victory for inequality in a small town in his home state means that "the homosexual agenda can be defeated." All standard stuff for the AFA. The notable part is the bylined writer himself:

Walker Wildmon is the son of Tim Wildmon, the AFA's current preside...
Stop with the false witness–bearing, Focus on the Family!
Barronelle Stutzman, a Washington state florist, denied requested service to a pair of customers simply because the wedding for which the gentlemen requested the arrangements was a same-sex union. But what does that business owner's choice become when it is put through the spin machine over at Focus on the Family's Citizenlink?
[Focus on the Family]
False. In every way false. I don't care if you believe gay couples should be denied of every wedding service they seek. The fact of the matter is t...
Former 'ex-gay' leader Randy Thomas: 'I am gay. I am ok with who I am.'
For eleven years (2002–2013), Randy Thomas was one of the most visible leaders at the now defunct Exodus International, appearing in ad campaigns opposed to pro-gay legislation and even scoring an invite to the Bush White House to press for a Federal Marriage Amendment. Today, Thomas is instead embracing his truth:
A peaceful disclosure: I'm gay [Randy Thomas]
For now Randy says he remains celibate. However, he now admits that he could see himself in a relationship with a man.
Not surprising, si...
