Dan Cathy, the CEO of Chick-Fil-A, threw his Jesus about in public. The acrimony started after Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy was asked by the Baptist Press if he was opposed to marriage equality and he responded, “Guilty as charged.” He also added, “We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of [...]

While I’m justifiably ragging on Texas, let me show you the product of nursing a discriminatory and hateful culture. In a possible gay hate crime, two teenage girls in a relationship have been found shot in the head with one dying from her injuries. If you go around saying that people being happy in the [...]

DrB- Recently Oreo cookies released a rainbow ad in support of LGBT rights & solidarity. It looked kinda like this, but just the rainbow cookie and date: (not actual ad, but close enough) Facebook and twitter exploded in support for Oreo. 1. Oreos are delicious. 2. Rainbow Oreo is a clever ad, with a [...]
What about the rights of Christian haters?
June 26, 2012 By 55 Comments
I love it when a wave of believers finds my blog. It gives me something to do. A while back I wrote a post ranting on the legislature in Kansas for passing a bill that would allow discrimination against LGBT people. Someone left this comment. I hope whoever wrote this article realizes that by blatantly [...]
Christians: the real victims
June 13, 2012 By 6 Comments
The city of Jacksonville, FL is considering a new measure that would, “ban discrimination against individuals based on sexual orientation and “gender identity or expression.” Sounds keen.

Discrimination, lying, and faith, a polyamorous marriage made in heaven (Blogathon 2/49)
June 11, 2012 By Leave a Comment
JT again! Last week PZ pointed out that, in response to a marriage equality bill getting passed in Washington, the faithful were turning to petitions as a means to display their love for the sinner through discrimination. And look at this: faith in Jesus isn’t keeping some of them from lying. The secretary of state [...]
Does the president influence public opinion or does public opinion influence the president?
June 9, 2012 By 1 Comment
Christina here… So question: If the president changes his mind or comes out in favor of some issue (such as President Obama coming out in favor of marriage equality) does his opinion influence public opinion? This study hypothesized, with regard to the War on Drugs: It is hypothesized that the more attention presidents give to the [...]
