Gay Rights

Did you see this one coming?

December 9, 2008

Newsweek recently ran an article about the religious case for marriage equality.  The professional Christian set is, shall we say, not happy?
Leading social conservatives blasted Newsweek for its current cover story, “The Religious Case for Gay Marriage,” which they said misinterprets both biblical scripture and their own political movement.
“It doesn’t surprise me. Newsweek has been [...]

December 7, 2008

It has, afterall, decided it will oppose a UN resolution calling for the decriminalisation of homosexuality which is punishable by death in several countries.
Gay rights groups and newspaper editorials on Tuesday condemned the Vatican for its decision to oppose a proposed U.N. resolution calling on governments worldwide to de-criminalise homosexuality.

Is it right to call gay the new black?

December 7, 2008

Just thought I’d share this discussion about members of the gay community adopting the slogan “Gay is the new Black”.

Anti-Mormon? Religious Hate Crime? My Ass!

December 4, 2008

Not long after the passage of Prop 8 I wrote this post about boycotting pro Prop 8 businesses. Since then I’ve been accused of being anti-Mormon and told that my support for such boycotts is, in effect, a hate crime.
Bullshit.
Mormon owned businesses that supported Prop 8 are not being boycotted because they believe that [...]

November 18, 2008

Focus on the Family announced this afternoon that 202 jobs will be cut companywide — an estimated 20 percent of its workforce. Initial [...]

Olbermann on the passage of Prop 8

November 11, 2008

November 8, 2008

Just days after succeeding at removing the civil rights of gay people, the Mormon church has issued a statement calling for “mutual respect” and declaring that “no one on either side of the question should be vilified, harassed or subject to erroneous information”.
This from the group that donated $20 million of a total of [...]

Boycott the Mormons

November 7, 2008

While much ado is being made about the overwhelming support of prop 8 by black voters in California, there is little ado being made about getting even with the Mormons (aka: that huge group of white people who donated $20 million to passing Prop 8 ) for seeing to it that gay Californians lost their [...]

Imagine being told "no" because you’re a Christian

April 15, 2008

A photographer was recently found guilty of discrimination in New Mexico for refusing to photograph the wedding of a lesbian couple because of the “message” it sent. It should come as no surprise that the photographer in question is a Christian who thinks homosexuality is a “sin”.
The professional Christian Martyr set is a [...]
