Amendment One’s saving grace: Exposing religious violence against LGBT people

By: Matt Comer Tuesday May 22, 2012 11:30 am

Just two weeks ago, voters in North Carolina approved 61 to 39 percent a discriminatory, anti-LGBT state constitutional amendment banning marriage and civil unions for same-sex couples and threatening domestic partner protections for all couples. The primary election came on the heels of a months-long campaign — proponents and opponents airing their positions on TV, [...]

Pastor Charles Worley of Providence Road Baptist Church in Maiden, NC recently told his congregation that his solution to dealing with lesbian, gay, bisexual & transgender people is to send them to concentration camps to starve to death.

Colorado tax dollars at work: two Senators deliver fundie eruptions against civil union bill

By: Pam Spaulding Friday April 27, 2012 9:16 am

Ah, the fearful fundamentalists are so unhinged by social change related to the legal recognition of same sex couples that we can find plentiful examples of them showing their @ss in public. Witness Thursday’s Colorado state Senate floor debate on SB-2 a civil unions bill — the “Christian” perspective in opposition of a civil union [...]

Want to see a fundie trailer for a horror movie about porn?

By: Pam Spaulding Wednesday April 25, 2012 2:59 pm

I kid you not. I thought this was a joke when Evan Hurst of Truth Wins Out posted a Tweet about it. Watch and protect thy keyboards. The story is about a husband and father and his battle with pornography. Actual home movies and interviews tell the story of the terror the family faces when [...]

Former Navy chaplain/exorcist claims Student Non-Discrimination Act will cause sexual assault, homo child recruitment

By: Pam Spaulding Monday April 23, 2012 3:00 pm

Last week, President Obama announced his support for the Student Non-Discrimination Act, and it was only a matter of time before the fundies erupted. Former Navy chaplain/exorcist Gordon Klingenschmitt, who believes that Al Franken is ‘causing more suicides‘ by backing an anti-bullying bill, ratcheted up the crazee in an e-blast. Passage of the legislation will mean “homosexuals [...]

FRC VP: if marriage equality prevails, an anti-gay, womb-controlling third party will emerge

By: Pam Spaulding Friday April 6, 2012 12:56 pm

Please make it happen, you fools. Bring it on. With mainstream conservatives bailing on the anti-gay approach to politics (or at the very least want it at the bottom of any agenda), the fundies are losing their cookies. Seeing anti-gay attitudes and legislation slipping away, their latest attempts to cry foul have been tossing out [...]

Start packing, libs, homos, atheists – Santorum-backing pastor says it’s a Christian nation, so get out

By: Pam Spaulding Tuesday March 20, 2012 11:26 am

It really is tiresome to hear gasbags like Greenwell Springs Baptist Church pastor Dennis Terry show just how ignorant they are about this country’s constitution. In their eyes, it’s a theocracy – a Christian one of only a specific flavor – his. The embarrassing “love it or leave it” trash was uttered when Terry  – the [...]

SCOTUS: State University ‘Christian’ clubs not allowed to discriminate against LGBT students

By: Pam Spaulding Monday March 19, 2012 2:48 pm

Expect a fundie eruption in 3…2…1. The U.S. Supreme Court said no to the hand of the fundies, refusing to accept a case challenging a lower court ruling on the anti-discrimination policy at organizations recognized by California state universities. The groups relied on a “religious freedom” argument to justify discriminating against LGBT students — restricting [...]

By: Pam Spaulding Friday January 20, 2012 7:32 am

The fundie on the top of the womb-controlling, LGBT-bashing food chain has spoken. Dr. James C. Dobson today announced his personal endorsement of Sen. Rick Santorum in his candidacy for president of the United States. Dr. Dobson, well-known radio broadcaster, psychologist and author of 35 best selling books, and consultant to three U.S. Presidents, said today, [...]
