Rick Warren must still be smarting from the outrage Obama provoked when he chose the despicable jackass to speak at his inauguration as he is still lying about his support for prop 8.
Warren on CNN last night:
WARREN: Larry, there was a story within a story that never got told. In the first place, I am [...]

When Mormons attack: Illinois & Civil Unions

March 4, 2009

The Mormon Church has decided that a bill in Illinois that will be considered tomorrow morning has to be defeated. Why?

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.
