Tony Perkins: Don’t let gays be protected under law! Act now! (video: Fundie Research Council, via iloveJesus420 at YouTube) Out in the wintery cold and looking all earnest and threatened like, there’s Tony ‘Nothing in my past to be embarrassed about’ Perkins of the Fundie Research Council — an organization coincidentally co-founded by the gay-family-focused Dr [...]

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 [...]

Check out what uppity fag extraordinaire Patrick Connors has to say about the Rev George Rekers debacle. In case you’re just tuning in, the gist of the story is this: Secret shirt-lifter with strong religious reich connections hires barely-legal, boi-toi luggage-lifter for ten-day Euro-frolic, gets caught, lapped up and long-stroked by mesmerized media. Taste: This [...]

For a brief second I thought this Barney might be the simpy, super-sized purple dinosaur and not the openly-gay Congressman from Massachusetts. I was wrong. It is, in fact, the openly-gay Congressman from Massachusetts, but he’s apparently transformed himself into a simpy, super-sized Blue Dog Democrat: Frank Warns of Fallout Over Same-Sex Marriage Bill By Jennifer [...]

Californians Against Hate today issued a follow-up statement on the letter sent on 27 August by the Maine Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices to Stand for Marriage Maine PAC (SFMMP) and the National Organization for Marriage (NOM).

NOM’s head honcho, Brian Brown, addresses a small crowd in San Diego last May. Local pastor and rally organizer Jim Garlow’s six personal bodyguards and Brian Brown’s six flown-in-for-the occasion children constituted a hefty percentage of the rally attendees celebrating the elimination of marriage equality in California (photo: Californians Against Hate Blog, used with permission) [...]

The homo-sex-obsessed Dr James Dobson piles on the merde (video: Right Wing Watch at YouTube) Watch and listen in amazement as pop psychologist and radical religious right icon Dr James Dobson makes shit up about hate crimes legislation and marriage equality. Dobson seems to conveniently overlook the the fact that incest, pedophilia, necrophilia, prostitution, etc. [...]

A civil unions bill in Hawaii has stalled and may end up on the rocks without an infusion of funding from the mainland. They are so close. This past Saturday, over 2000 supporters of the civil unions bill rallied in downtown Honolulu. Check out the update below for something you can do to help immediately. [...]

Good riddance (Graphic: the Tidmus Archives, with an apology to Kubrick) I’m pleased to announce that Dr James Dobson, designated driver of the Christianist clown-car known as Focus on the Family, has resigned. This would be the same James Dobson who once proclaimed, ”Communities do not let prostitutes, pedophiles, voyeurs, adulterers, and those who sexually prefer animals [...]

Mike Airhart, over at Truth Wins Out, has body-slammed the Dobsonites at Focus on the Family with a series of five posts. Each and every one of which deserves your attention.  FOTF Smears Mother of Ex-Gay Suicide Victim FOTF Condemns Arkansas Kids to Orphanages, Red Tape FOTF Seeks to Suppress Gender-Variant Floridians FOTF’s Double-Standard toward [...]

This is ironic because, when the President-Elect picked pop-pastor Rick Warren to handle the in-God-we-trust bit at the inauguration, I was outraged — as you might have gathered if you’ve been reading along. At the time, I said to a friend that Mr Obama could have made a wiser and less divisive choice … [several expletives deleted] … [...]

I have to admit that I nearly fell on the floor last week when the divine Ms Maddow described the power struggle for leadership of the Republican National Committee as “a sack full of angry squirrels” going at it. Sarah Posner, writing for the American Prospect in her regular column, The Fundamentalist, has some thoughts on the [...]

Yes-on-H8 bigwig signatures on their letter extorting cash and support from one of many No on Prop 8 donors who received the letter Fred Karger of Californians Against Hate has a pretty good idea about just who might be behind that lawsuit to hide the Yes-on-H8 campaign donor names from the public. From Californians Against Hate: Who is [...]

Barack Obama and his buddy Rick Warren (Photo: via Second Floor) There are not a whole lot of people happy with President-Elect Obama’s selection of bigot Rick Warren to handle the one nation under god bit at the Inauguration. According to Joe.My.God. even the freakshow known as Free Republic is coming unglued; only they’re pissed [...]

Right Wing Watch is reporting that President-Elect Obama has chosen Pastor Rick Warren, author, leader of the Saddleback Church, and arch anti-gay and anti-atheist bigot, to deliver the invocation at his Inauguration.  From Right Wing Watch: It seems that no matter how many times people, including us, point out that Rick Warren is really just a friendlier [...]
