Sorry religious right, but the gay community isn’t buying what you are selling

By: Wednesday November 14, 2012 7:53 am

As far as I am concerned, it’s always a good thing when religious right figures trot their hypocrisies out in the public square. My only concern is that we as a community don’t take advantage of this more. Take former Family Research Council head Janet Parshall for example: The above excerpt is from a ridiculous [...]

Hate group doesn’t have the guts to sue Dan Savage

By: Friday October 5, 2012 7:33 am

It seems that Dan Savage has started a war with Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council. Recently, Savage said the following: “every dead gay kid is a victory for the Family Research Council” and that “Tony Perkins sits on a pile of dead gay kids every day when he goes to work” While I [...]

Peter Sprigg is further proof of the Family Research Council’s ‘hate group’ status

By: Friday September 28, 2012 7:43 am

Poor Family Research Council. They just can’t lay off the Southern Poverty Law Center. FRC is still sore over being designated as a hate group by SPLC. Personally, I like it when FRC or one the organization’s phony experts attack SPLC because it gives me the opportunity to demonstrate yet again their hypocrisy. Today, FRC [...]

NOM’s Brian Brown has trouble defending Family Research Council lies

By: Sunday August 19, 2012 1:38 pm

There is no question that the National Organization for Marriage is milking the outcry over Wednesday’s shooting at the Family Research Council in a sad attempt to attack the Southern Poverty Law Center. However, watch what happens when Brown is confronted during an interview on CNN with statements made by the Family Research Council in [...]

Southern Poverty Law Center responds to ‘license to kill’ charge by FRC’s Tony Perkins

By: Thursday August 16, 2012 5:43 pm

Sadly, Family Research Council’s honcho Tony Perkins took to the media today in an attempt to discredit the Southern Poverty Law Center’s accurate assessment of FRC as a hate group, charging that the organization gave shooter Floyd Corkins a license to shoot the security guard at its building in DC. SPLC responds - with facts: Yesterday’s [...]

Shooting at the Family Research Council – ALL violence (physical and spiritual) must be condemned

By: Wednesday August 15, 2012 8:42 pm

By now, you have probably heard what happened today at the headquarters of the Family Research Council. Earlier today, a 28-year-old man came in pretending to be an intern. On his person, he had two guns. The security guard fought him and kept him from fully using these guns, at the expense of getting wounded. [...]

What Chick-fil-A’s money supports – a video montage of homophobia

By: Wednesday August 1, 2012 7:13 am

Today is “Chick-fil-A” Appreciation Day and I expect it to be a huge hit. That’s fine as far as I am concerned.  This day gives the gay community a larger platform to educate why we are angry at the restaurant chain. It’s not about it’s owner’s religious beliefs or opposition of marriage equality. There are [...]

Fake Christians are lying about Chick-Fil-A

By: Monday July 30, 2012 7:28 am

I have to admit that I am not totally in tune to the Chick-Fil-A controversy as much as my fellow blogging colleagues and the rest of my lgbtq brothers and sisters. But what I do see of it does bother me a bit. It’s not the boycott per se more than how folks who claim [...]

Family Research Council destroys study’s credibility

By: Monday June 25, 2012 7:58 am

The anti-gay parenting study authored by the University of Texas professor Mark Regnerus recently received another kiss of death aside from condemnation from social scientists. Apparently the Family Research Council loves it. FRC spokesman Peter Sprigg wrote a long love letter to the study, having this to say at the conclusion: The myths that children [...]

Will the Family Research Council acknowledge error of using recanted study?

By: Monday May 21, 2012 8:05 am

On Friday, something monumental happened. Dr. Robert Spitzer announced plans to officially apologize to the gay community for a 2001 study he published which claimed that gays can change their sexual orientation. This apology is a boon for the gay community and closes the book on a long controversy. I detailed it in my 2007 [...]
