Both chambers of the Kentucky legislature last night voted overwhelmingly to override Gov. Steve Beshear’s veto of the Religious Freedom Act, which allows state residents to disobey civil rights laws on the basis of “sincerely held religious beliefs.” The House’s 79-15 vote sent House Bill 279 to the Senate, which voted 32-6 to override the measure.  The one-paragraph bill that …

The guy doing the translation for NY Sen. Ruben Diaz also translated for the preacher who declared that “gays are worthy of death” at NOM’s 2011 hate rally in the Bronx.

“Maybe it’s just me, but it seems that some ‘journalists’ covering the Prop 8 case are downright giddy about the possibility of marriage being re-defined by unelected judges. No wonder most of the media coverage of Prop 8 bears no resemblance to the reality that most Americans still favor protecting marriage as the special union of the opposite sexes. “But …

“I think we’re going to win these cases. But say the worst happens and we lose in a broad way – that means that the Court somehow does a Roe, a Roe v. Wade, on marriage and says that all these state constitutional amendments are overturned, gay marriage is now a constitutional right – well, we’re going to press forward …

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear (D) today vetoed the so-called Religious Freedom Act, which would permit just about any discrimination against LGBT people (or anybody else) on the basis of  “sincerely held religious beliefs.”  Beshear has posted a statement on his official website: I have significant concerns that this bill will cause serious unintentional consequences that could threaten public safety, health …

As we learned long ago, NOM doesn’t care if their lies are broadcast across thousands and thousands of blogs and progressive websites, they just keep repeating the same discredited bullshit. Count the lies in this new ad for their DC hate march. If you miss any, Jeremy Hooper has fisked the entire clip moment-by-moment.

“Dear Mr. Clinton, with all respect to the office of the president which you held for 8 years, I must say that it is not just ironic that you are now asking the Supreme Court to overturn the legislation you signed into law 17 years ago. It is downright tragic.  May I ask you, sir, if 17 years have changed …

The Kentucky Religious Freedom Act, which activists claim would allow citizens to disobey LGBT anti-discrimination laws, was passed 9-2 yesterday by the state Senate Judiciary Committee. Opponents say it could let business owners and other individuals defy state and local civil-rights laws, including those in four Kentucky cities that prohibit anti-gay discrimination. Without those civil-rights protections, we fear the worst,” …

From the Family Research Council’s prayer team: Pray that pro-family leaders, Democrat and Republican, and our sharp pro-family lawyers will rise to neutralize this blitz campaign to confuse Americans and the Court. Continue to pray for each member of the Supreme Court and for those will argue the case for Biblical, natural marriage. May God extend mercy to America amid …

“At FRC, we hate no one. We actively affirm God’s love for everyone. We also affirm what we believe to be sound theological and sociological reasons for upholding sexual morality and preserving marriage as the institution between one man and one woman. Is this hate? Most reasonable people would say no. Evidently the Southern Poverty Law Center disagrees, and under …

“Pro-family groups like FRC, churches, state activists, and cultural leaders are all converging on Washington to show the world that we care about protecting marriage and want to stand up and fight for it. The event kicks off Tuesday morning, March 26, as nine Supreme Court justices hear oral arguments on two cases that could change the course of history–and …

“Imagine if you were on the cusp of the greatest victory of your life — within months of achieving something you’d worked doggedly for years to achieve, something truly worthy of a heroic effort. And even as you could almost feel victory in your hands, your opponent announces that your defeat is inevitable and it’s time for you to quit. …

There’s not yet much coverage of yesterday’s event in the English-language news media, but hate groups are claiming that as many as 200,000 Christians rallied in San Juan against the potential of same-sex marriage. There’s no telling what the actual attendance was, but the crowd was definitely very large. Via Focus On The Family: The crowd represented a notable percentage …

“Dear Joe, I have some great news! Recognizing the importance of this March for Marriage, one of our best supporters, a heroic defender of marriage, has agreed to commit up to $500,000 — HALF A MILLION DOLLARS — for a challenge, matching grant to NOM… so your contribution to defend marriage will be instantly matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $500,000! NOM …

Since the courts always take a dim view of public schools officially sanctioning prayers and other religious activities, Christianists around the nation have been working to crowbar their way in via student-led prayers. And it looks like they’ve succeeded in Mississippi, the state that only officially outlawed slavery last week. Supporters say bills to guarantee religious freedom in Mississippi public …

“Dear Joe, This year the U.S. Supreme Court will hear two cases that will also have a lasting impact on the very soul of our nation. If the Supreme Court does not uphold the constitutionality of these two laws, it will not only lead to the destruction of traditional marriage as we know it, but subvert our American democratic process …
