“This is a travesty of justice. The majority of Californians — and two-thirds of black voters in California — have just had their core civil right to vote for marriage stripped from them by an openly gay federal judge who has misread history and the Constitution to impose his San Francisco views on the American [...]

Someone really should let the National Organization for Marriage‘s shills, Bigot George McKinney and Bigot Harry Jackson, know they’ve maxed out their race card claiming there’s no similarity between interracial marriage and marriage equality. Veteran journalist and Science Blogs blogger, Ed Brayton points to an essay by Ta-Nehisi Coates, who observes that “in some ways, [...]

Mrs Raman Srivastav — AKA Maggie Gallagher — had her steely mask of propriety ripped away yesterday by Judge Walker’s ruling that California’s discriminatory Prop H8 is unconstitutional, and, holy mother of pearl and hot damn!, if the National Organization for Marriage‘s matriarch hasn’t revealed herself as the unhinged, race-baiting, gay-loathing nut-case most of us [...]

Note the less than subtle shift in rhetoric in the last line of this blog post by NOM President Brian Brown. It’s no longer about “preserving the traditional definition of marriage” — which, of course, replaced the less than subtle: “Gay marriage is against God’s will.” Now, it’s all about “preserving religious freedom” — although, [...]

O the humanity! Or, should I say: O the secular humanism! The Obama White House invited reps from the Secular Student Alliance to attend a meeting of the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, and Bigot Harry Jackson abruptly wrenched into full metal freak-out mode: “I think we’re being set up — for people of [...]

Dan Barker on FOX News (video: Atheist Media Blog at YouTube) Watch as former teenaged evangelist turned atheist Dan Barker of the Freedom From Religion Foundation outfoxes a shifty Fox News entertainer who is more than miffed that, after 58 years of slouching toward theocracy, US District Judge Barbara Crabb has nixed the religious reich’s [...]

“See, we here in sinful, hellhole Sodom-iffic San Francisco see such piffling outcry, and laugh. We’ve been shrugging off Bible Belt ignorance and fundamentalist accusations of our being the perverted nail sticking out of God’s virtuous park bench since Harvey Milk opened a camera shop, Berkeley decided to light some U.S. flags on fire and [...]

Bigot Harry Jackson bleats (video: CBNonline at YouTube) At the 2:00 mark, CBN gives Bigot Harry Jackson a bully pulpit to spew about getting his ass kicked over marriage equality in Washington DC, a city in which the carpet-bagging, blood-letting-threatening, NOM associating Jackson does not reside. Jackson then more than adequately demonstrates why he is [...]

Carpetbagger and NOM-associate Bigot Harry Jackson has failed in his pathetic last ditch effort to get his gay-hatin’ hands on one of them activist judges in order to avert marriage equality in Washington DC.

Senators team with religious right on reform obstruction (video: The Rachel Maddow Show) The mustachioed bobblehead leading the Family Research Council’s anti-healthcare-reform freakshow is Lou Engle. Bruce Wilson, writing at Talk to Action, has a piece up on Engle, who Wilson suggests is “the Republican Party’s new spiritual guru.” In GOP’s New Prayer Guru Says [...]

Let me be the first to condole Maggie Srivastav (née Gallagher) and Brian Brown and the National Organization for Opposite Marriage (NOOM) on the occasion of their horrifying avalanche (11-2) of a defeat in Washington [...]

Back in May, Washington DC’s crack-smoking, prostitute-frequenting, tax-evading, pillar of morality and former-Mayor, now Councilman Marion Barry threatened civil war if the District of Columbia merely recognized same-gender marriages performed outside the nation’s capitol. The Washington Post reported: “All hell is going to break lose,” Barry said while speaking to reporters. “We may have a [...]
