NPR has a piece up on Jeff Sharlet, the author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power, who talks about his encounter with the author of Uganda’s infamous exterminate-the-gays bill, Christian MP David Bahati: “Sharlet accompanied Bahati to a restaurant and later to his home, where Bahati told Sharlet that [...]

“David Bahati MP in Uganda is currently trying to get enacted a law under which men engaging in ‘aggravated’ sodomy – where it occurs against a minor, someone disabled, inflicts HIV/Aids or is part of a rape – will incur the death penalty … Yet the Bible prescribes precisely the penalty Bahati is proposing for [...]

Holocaust revisionist Scott Lively reveals to Jason Jones that Adolf Hitler was a homosexual and Nazis used to meet in gay bars (video: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) Jason Jones: “That which you hate the most, you secretly are.” Priceless. If Christians ruled the world, gays would go away (video: iloveJesus420 at YouTube) Here’s [...]

[ updated: see below ] Thank you Christian Pastor Lou Engle, Christian Pastor Martin “Eat Da Poo Poo” Ssempa, Christian Pastor Jim Garlow and your good Christian buddies among the perpetrators of the ex-gay lie, thanks to the international Christian cosa nostra known as The Family, and extra special thanks to the rest of America’s [...]

Little wonder that the unfair and radically unbalanced Porno Pete has marshalled his fellow gay-hating fundies to turn on the fairer and more balanced Warren Throckmorton. After all, Throckmorton, at least, seems not to have lost his grip on reality. Here, in a piece at Salon, is Throckmorton on the relationship between Rick Warren acolyte [...]

“I did support the principle of a nation saying, restraining [gay rights] from coming into their nation. … I don’t think it’s going to be good for the nation, it sweeps into the education system, and the church is going to end up losing its privilege to have its own voice. Gender rights, will trump [...]

Oh. My. Dog! Here’s nutty Nutso McNutty (or Tom McClusky as they call him over at the Fundie Research Council’s political blog) taking a page from the Michael Petrelis playbook. McC’s challenging Elena Kagan on her silence pertaining to a $20 million dollar gift to Harvard U from a Saudi prince. McClusky points out: “Ms. [...]

Oh. My. Dog! Color me like totally surprised. Not. Rabid, drooling, batshit crazier than crazy, demon-obsessed, no-of-course-I-don’t-support-executing-gay-Ugandans ‘Shakey’ Lou Engle is a pathological bearer of false witness? What are the frickin’ chances? Read Evan Hurst over at Truth Wins Out and find out for yourself. It appears the good Christian pastor and founder of TheCall [...]

Don’t be fooled by the deceptively positive sounding name. The Institute on Religion and Democracy has nothing whatsoever to do with democracy by any stretch of anyone’s imagination. It is, purely and simply, christoFascist think tank that is going after “liberal” Episcopalians for not hating on the gays in the ways that IRD imagines the [...]

[ updated: see below ] If ever a story of unmitigated and unpardonable hatred needed to grow a pair of legs and walk all over the American media, this is it. Thanks to Joe Jervis of Joe. My. God. for dragging this bit of ugliness out into the sunshine. Outting Tony the Phony Perkins’ little [...]

Thanks to Wayne Besen, the founder of Truth Wins Out, for the heads-up. It appears that SPLC-certified hate group founder and professional anti-gay douchnozzle, Dr Scott Lively, is soliciting email so he can promote his pivotal role in instigating Uganda‘s exterminate the gays legislation – a bill he’s, once again, aggressively pushing. Uganda Instigator Scott [...]

The American architects of Uganda’s anti-gay bill (video: Current TV) This Wednesday: “Vanguard correspondent Mariana van Zeller travels to Uganda to trace the influence of American evangelical leaders on a proposed law that could make being gay punishable by death. The episode “Missionaries of Hate” premieres on Wednesday, May 26 at 10/9c.” The filmmaker, Mariana [...]

The secretive association known as The Family is undoubtedly America’s most dangerous evangelical Christian organization. Here’s the kind of murderous harm they’re up to with their mafia-like reach: The Family had already caused the jettison of one of Africa’s most successful anti-AIDS programs, Museveni came under pressure from America to use abstinence instead of condoms. [...]

YouTube ad links Sam Brownback and religious reich leader Lou Engle (video: KansasDemocrats at YouTube) The Democratic Party in Kansas is using the video above to connect Senator Sam Brownback to his former roommate in Washington, DC, the demon-obsessed ‘Shakey’ Lou Engle. The quivering hate-preacher was just in Kampala, Uganda praising that African nation’s American-backed [...]

Big surprise! Not. In the early aughties, Uganda was considered a model African AIDS program. Then it all went South. Suddenly, you had well-funded Ugandan Christian pastors like Martin Ssempa, with links to pop-pastor Rick Warren, burning condoms in Jesus’ name and much worse. You had the American fundies during the Bush nightmare getting their [...]
