Apparently Obama’s support of marriage equality is pulling all of the homophobes out of the closet, so to speak, including this one: Transcript: Well, the timing is I think miserable for his reelection. I would have expected him, as you did, to wait until he was the new president and say, “Guess what? I’ve changed [...]

The following video is openly gay Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) debating Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council recently on Hardball about Obama’s support of marriage equality. It was good:

One of the problems we have when it comes to dealing with the religious right is that we do not challenge their lies aggressively. It’s not enough to call these groups bigoted. When they come out with distortions, we need to sound the alarm, get on the highest mountain top and beat the drums, and [...]
