Matt Stopera asked 20 young people at the nation for marriage rally to take a pad of paper and write down their reason for opposing same-sex marriage. Look at all these Christians smile as they fight to keep others legally separated from the person they love. Look at how happy they are to be causing [...]
Limbaugh: gay marriage is going to happen.
March 28, 2013 By 17 Comments
I’ve seldom found myself hoping Rush Limbaugh is right, but I guess there’s a first time for everything. Today he conceded that gay marriage is inevitable. “This issue is lost,” he proclaimed. “I don’t care what the Supreme Court does, this is now inevitable. It’s inevitable because we lost the language on this.” He’s wrong [...]

Pastor Jim Garlow, one of the primary figures behind prop 8. He’s this guy: Anyway, he just went on Janet Mefferd’s show to talk about gay marriage. Did you know that if we let two consenting adults get married, even if they are of the same gender, that Christians will have their property seized and [...]
Huckabee: If GOP accepts gay marriage Evangelicals will form a third party.
March 27, 2013 By 29 Comments
It’s funny. Only two years ago the GOP was continuing to use gay marriage as a wedge issue. We were to believe that there was a pernicious homosexual agenda at work that would undermine and destroy straight marriage – and that the GOP were the ones to stop it. Now that people are catching wise, [...]
Justice Roberts to receive some extra motivation in Prop 8 case.
March 25, 2013 By 5 Comments
Chief Justice John Roberts, who will likely be the person deciding the fate of Prop 8 (and what national ramifications come of that decision), will have a little extra motivation to put the judicial axe to discrimination. An openly gay cousin of Chief Justice John Roberts who wants to marry her partner will be in [...]

March 25, 2013 By 10 Comments
This just made my day. NFL Players Union president Domonique Foxworth has posted an article at USA Today that…it’s just fucking awesome. Athletes have long been among the most prominent agents for social change. We are proud of our role on the front lines of civil rights. We have stood up for issues that are [...]
Those other Christians are such a disfrace.

In an early post I pointed out that when you hear a conservative start spamming the word “truth”, you need to be prepared for a pretty impressive pile of wrong. Here’s a comment from TruthOne on my post about a North Carolina church refusing to do weddings until gays are allowed to marry. Tris is [...]
North Carolina church takes a stand for gay marriage. Cool, but shouldn’t get Christians off the hook.
March 21, 2013 By 5 Comments
A North Carolina church has declared they will not perform any marriages until the state recognizes same-sex marriage. A church in Winston-Salem has decided not to allow marriages of any kind until their denomination and the state of North Carolina allow same sex marriages. Members of the Leadership Council of Green Street United Methodist Church [...]
Same sex civil unions legalized in Colorado.
March 14, 2013 By 6 Comments
Yesterday Colorado quietly legalized same sex civil unions. Each time LGBT people get closer to equal rights, it’s progressively met by a softer whimper from equality’s detractors. When gays are finally allowed by federal law to get married, anti-equality people will stare at the ground and mosey into their churches to whine about how the [...]
A look at how the Pope selection reflects on Catholics and LGBT rights.
March 14, 2013 By 13 Comments
Gay marriage is going to happen. Equality for LGBT people is going to happen. However, it will happen faster if we’re praising a Pope for hauling the Catholic Church out of the Dark Ages rather than criticizing him for failing to let the Catholic Church grow up. Sadly, I think we’re in for a lot [...]
