We all know it’s true – a gathering of homophobes at a political conference ensures 1) a spike in hotel in-room porn purchases and 2) a lot of homosex. Witness what is going on at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), covered over at Hypervocal.com. This is just one of 10 ads it has collected in [...]

Whoa ho-holy sh*t: how’s this for “family values”? Please let me hear Tony Perkins and the rest of the moralists clean up behind this: ABC Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross told WMAL’s Morning Majority program that Marianne Gingrich claims her ex-husband wanted an ‘open marriage.’ “He came to her and said, ‘I want to stay [...]

The problem bigots have in 2012 is that they don’t like being labeled bigots, so they engage in public contortions to make it look like they are being victimized for opening their pieholes and saying racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic garbage that is ludicrous. Tennis legend (and now televangelist/pastor of Victory Life Centre) Margaret Court can join the list [...]

Friend of the Blend, Joe Murray, a former staff attorney for the American Family Association, has written a sizzling op-ed in the Des Moines Register addressing the Wildmon family hate machine’s participation in the 2012 GOP Clown Car endorsement game. The fundie organization, which focuses “protecting marriage,” has endorsed serial adulterer Newt Gingrich, and as [...]

Why not? The state of Minnesota, like North Carolina, faces a marriage discrimination amendment at the polls in 2012. Minnesota Senate Majority Leader (er, former) Amy Koch (R, no surprise) had no trouble supporting legislation that would bar same-sex couples from civil marriage. It looks like she was “pulling a Newt” regarding own domestic legal [...]

Bishop Eddie Long, one of the Black Church’s prominent pastors of “prosperity gospel” and bling-bling theology in the Southeast, is flashing neither his gold nor silver these days. The embattled pastor had hoped that settling a sex scandal lawsuit for an undisclosed amount against allegations that he used influence, trips, gifts, and jobs to coerce [...]

By now, we all know the latest mess coming from the Family Research Council – how the organization recently awarded Congressman Joe Walsh an award for supposedly fighting for “family values” even though Walsh owes over $100,000 in child support. Of course the ugly irony is that earlier that week, FRC publicly prayed that God [...]

Great Caesar’s Ghost! My hypocrisy meter has just blown the F up. From the Iowa Caucuses blog (I know you’ve protected your keyboards, right?): “I believe that marriage is between a man and woman,” Gingrich said. “It has been for all of recorded history and I think this is a temporary aberration that will dissipate. [...]

Is it me or are these bigots so self-involved in their hate that they forget the whole “bear false witness” and “thou shalt not steal” hoohah lickety split? Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman said Harris Himes turned himself in Wednesday morning after learning that there was a warrant for his arrest. District Judge James Haynes [...]

Bring out the tiniest of violins. Rep. John Fleming (R-LA) is a victim of class warfare because, after taxes, he only has $400K left over to feed his family. Whoops! He’s even landing on a softer pile of cash – the $400K is AFTER he’s fed his kids. OK, even if his family is Duggar-sized, [...]
