Major global brand P&G comes out for marriage equality
Huge development in the corporate world:
For the first time in its history, Procter & Gamble is openly supporting same-sex marriage.
The Cincinnati-based consumer products giant says it embraced gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees for more than 20 years. Now, the company says same-sex marriage has become an important enough issue to its workers that it is taking a public stand.

In 2013, HRC went red for equality; NOM just went in the red
Despite 2013 being a monumental year in the marriage fight, the organization tasked to fight us on the other side had a terrible time raising funds, with over half coming from just two major donors. The Human Rights Campaign has the details on why NOM fundraising pitches have been turning noticeably desperate:
NOM raised $5.1 million in 2013, dropping by over 50% since 2012. Just 2 donors accounted for more than half of the organization’s funding

WHOA! Mark Regnerus made the #Humanum conference videos
A few months back, I played a clip where Mark Regnerus of the infamously shoddy study that hoped to discredit gay parents mentioned he was filming videos around the world. Today, Baptist writer and activist Denny Burk answers the question of what videos he was filming:

Yes, that's right: He was filming those anti-gay videos that I have been showing you all week. You know, the ones from the pointedly discriminatory Vatican conference that has been going on...
Video: #Humanum closing video goes after France's civil marriage law; because theocracy, apparently
The closing video from the Vatican colloquium that has proven to the world that this Pope is not quite the LGBT rights change agent that some wanted him to be, the major focus is on the religious-driven movement in France to roll back the country's civil marriage law. Because marriage equality discriminates against children, goes the claim that is deeply offensive to children of gays, gay children, and countless others:
AFA's Fischer links Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations to homosexuality
No one is as good at making clumsy and offensive links as the American Family Association's truly obsessed Issues Analyst:
Yup, that's right: to the man that one of America's leading anti-LGBT group employs as its chief issues analyst, allegations of sexual assault are just like the valid, benign, most likely inborn sexual orientations of millions of human beings. By simply being gay, Bryan insists that we gay folk start out on the same moral plan as someone who (allegedly...

Tony Perkins attacks President Obama for 'forcing' fed. contractors to 'tolerate abnormal sexual behavior'
In a year-end fundraising pitch letter, Family Research Council president Tony Perkins doesn't just attack the president for his support of same-sex marriage. Tony takes it even further, demanding that mere tolerance for what he crudely demands to be "abnormal sexual behavior" is out-of-line in 2014 America:

Abnormal, Tony? Funny since you've talked about on a near-daily basis for over a decade now. You may hate it—and you've made it quite clear that you do—but it seems to me that someth...
Video: Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore at #Humanum: Marriage equality undermines human flourishing, God, goodness
More from that nastier-than-I-even-thought-it-would-be conference that's going on this week at the Vatican:
#Humanum speaker accuses gay activists of hijacking civil rights movement; 'God will not be mocked!'
Dr. Jacqueline C Rivers addressing a Pope-blessed conference at the Vatican:

According to Twitter, Rivers received the second standing ovation of the conference. But it's not anti-gay. Nu uh. No way.
