Tony Perkins plays the ‘bad loser’ over LGBT Executive Order

Tony Perkins writing for the anti-gay hate group Family Research Council:

“After 30 days of nonstop, in-your-face celebration, the White House is capping off ‘gay pride’ month with its biggest gift yet. Next Monday, the pot of gold at the end of this President’s rainbow is an executive order giving special workplace benefits to the sexually confused.

“For the far-Left, it caps off a long fight to get the administration to do what Congress has not: order employers to put aside their profits, principles, and practices in the name of political correctness.

“The President’s order implementing part of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) — once considered ‘too radical’ even for his own party — forces government contractors and subcontractors to hire gays, lesbians, transvestites, and transsexuals — regardless of their legally protected morals.

“This level of coercion is nothing less than viewpoint blackmail — and from the federal government no less!”

You’ll note how Perkins calls President Obama’s executive order calling for federal contractors to treat LGBT folks with dignity “special workplace benefits.”

And he refers to the gays as “sexually confused.”

ENDA is hardly “too radical” for the President’s own party – the US Senate passed the legislation months ago in a bipartisan fashion.

What Perkins can’t handle is the fact that those he openly disdains are slowly but surely finding their way to equality.  And he can’t stop it.

NOM’s Hate Rally sees sparse turn out

The ironically named National Organization for Marriage has an epic fail on it’s hands today as it’s “national event” in the form of an anti-gay hate rally #March4Marriage sees a very sparse turn out.

Looks like NOM prez Brian Brown will be spinning another fail into fairy tale on the interwebs.

NOM’s anti-gay hate march in Washington DC today

Today is the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage’s hate rally to oppose marriage equality.

This has been promoted as a “national” event, and that huge numbers of people would be showing up from around the country to listen as the haters speechify about how terrible it is that the gays are getting equal rights.

Note in the picture above the 200-300 folks at the rally so far.

Folks for equality are using the event’s hashtag – #March4Marriage – to share how we feel about equality for all today.  Make sure you use the hashtag as you tweet today.

Happy Thursday!

Propaganda: “March for Marriage 2014”

The scare tactics in this video promoting the National Organization for Marriage’s “March for Marriage” on June 19th includes just about everything they can think of:

Intolerance!
Unelected judges!
Bakers!
Photographers!
Benghazi! (Ok, that one they did leave out this one time…).

Sad that all of this is in the name of preventing a segment of Americans from having equal rights.

Bless NOM’s little tiny heart.

Tony Perkins: Dan Cathy of Chick-Fil-A is a “coward”

In a strange, topsy-turvy world, Mike Huckabee chats with hate group leader Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council about how those who would keep the LGBT community from having equal rights are somehow the ‘victims’ of attacks on their religious freedoms. See, in their world, it is their right to discriminate against other Americans. And those who would seek to express themselves through their wallets are “economic terrorists.”

During the segment, Tony Perkins calls out Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy as a “coward” for stepping back from his opposition to marriage equality.

But remember, Tony Perkins and his ilk are the ‘victims’ here.

Joe Jervis of JoeMyGod explains the anti-gay view of boycotts like this:

When major national Christian groups with millions of followers call for boycotts, that is a righteous use of the free market in order to preserve morality, marriage, family, and the American way. But when gay folks call for a boycott, THAT is homofascist intimidation, intolerance, bullying, economic terrorism, a stifling of religious liberty, and an attempt to deny the freedom of speech. And don’t you forget it.

One Million Moms is sad about Honey Maid’s diverse, inclusive ads

One Million Moms (which is really closer to 64,000) weighs in hating on the terrific new campaign by Honey Maid that includes families of all shapes, races and gender.

Nabisco should be ashamed of themselves for their latest Honey Maid and Teddy Graham cracker commercial where they attempt to normalize sin. Right away it shows two men with a baby, followed by other families, and ends with different families pictured including the one with two dads. This commercial not only promotes homosexuality, but then calls the scene in the advertisement wholesome. The ad states, “Everyday wholesome snacks for every wholesome family. This is wholesome.”

One Million Moms stands up for Biblical truth which is very clear in Romans 1:26-27 about this particular type of sexual perversion. Honey Maid is also using the hashtag #thisiswholesome. There is concern about the way this ad is pushing the LGBT agenda, but an even greater concern is the way that they are changing the meaning of the word “wholesome.” This is truly sad. If this is what Honey Maid thinks is wholesome, then my family will no longer purchase Honey Maid or Nabisco products.

I posted the video last week, but here it is again.

Is it awful how happy this family is?  What kind of moms would hate this beautiful family?  I think it’s great.

Peter LaBarbera still can’t articulate his anti-gay hate other than he just hates gays

Anti-gay crusader Peter LaBarbera

For no good reason that would add up to any common sense, virulently anti-gay Peter LaBarbera was invited to be a guest on Alan Colmes radio show yesterday.

LaBarbera runs the “Americans for Truth about Homosexuality” which is a classified as a certified hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

While talking with Colmes, LaBarbera stated that children would “be better off in a single-parent household because you’re not modeling homosexual behavior.”

“When you have two men raising a young child, that child grows up learning dysfunction and a sexual perversion as normal. He’s learning a sexual perversion as normality.”

LaBarbera is not a trained sociologist, a child psychologist, or — as far as I know – any other certified or trained professional practitioner of psychiatry, child rearing, or family development, so why in the world anyone would even ask his opinion on the raising of children is a puzzlement.

According to sources, the only “designation” he has earned is a BA in Political Science.  You do the math on that one.

You can listen to the exchange below:

To further underline LaBarbera’s less than informed positions, Right Wing Watch notes that LaBarbera “was left speechless when Colmes asked him to spell out his plan to ban homosexuality.”

LaBarbera repeatedly refused to answer Colmes’ question about what he thinks the punishment for homosexual behavior should be, finally admitting: “I don’t know what the punishment should be.”

“So you want these laws on the books but you don’t know what to do about them?” Colmes asked. “You keep talking about criminalizing sodomy and using the country of Jamaica as a model for that but you’re not telling me how you would enforce it and then what the punishment should be. So you don’t have a well-rounded idea of how to approach the idea of criminalizing it.”

In Jamaica, where LaBarbera campaigned for the preservation of the country’s stringent anti-gay laws, homosexuality is punishable up to ten years in jail.

Listen below as Colmes repeated asks how such anti-gay laws would be enforced and what the punishment would be.  LaBarbera is so caught up in hating the gays, he hasn’t gotten to how he punish them.  I’m guessing he’s of the “arrest first, figure the rest out later” kind of hater:

Brian Brown: Boycotts shut down 1st Amendment Rights (except when we do it)

“Did you know that Starbucks was recently reported to be perceived as the most LGBT-friendly brand in the U.S.? JC Penney, Target, Apple and Amazon round out the top five.

“If you’ve been following the national marriage battle over the past 18 months this should come as no surprise.

“Starbucks has said that gay ‘marriage’ is one of its corporate values. Target and JC Penny both support gay ‘marriage’ and the homosexual lifestyle in general, as does Apple.

“We only vote at a ballot box once a year at most. But we vote with our wallets every day. That’s why NOM maintains its Corporate Fairness Project – which includes the Dump Starbucks, Dump General Mills, and Thank Chick-fil-A initiatives – to inform you of what companies are taking active stands in the marriage battle, and where your money is best spent in defense of this sacred institution.” – Certified hate group leader Brian Brown, writing for NOM’s blog.
