Analyzing and refuting the inaccuracies lodged against the lgbt community by religious conservative organizations. Lies in the name of God are still lies.
If you need a simplified way to explain the impact of Scott Lively's homophobia in Uganda as well as the case against him, then thiscomic from Andy Warner at the Center for Constitutional Rights explains it more than adequately. Below are just a few images:
Lively: Anti-Gay 'Revolution' Needed To Stop Demonic 'Conspiracy' To 'Homosexualize The World'- Scott Lively is getting just a little bit morbid about the need to stop lgbt equality. Saying that anti-gay activists must be ready to “give up our lives if necessary" is a bit much. And it's gets really spooky when you realize that if some folks would be willing to die, others will take it to the other extreme and will be willing to kill if given the right encouragement.
CNN hosts Peter Sprigg twice in as many hours - Unfortunately CNN demonstrates that anti-gay figures aren't challenged as they should be by the media about their anti-gay statements and slurs.
This video of Southern Baptist Robert Jeffress, flanked by Family Research Council president Tony Perkins and pastor Rafael Cruz, the father of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at a National Religious Broadcasters convention press conference underlines a point I made earlier this week about the religious right fetish for being persecuted.
Not only is Jeffress' comments totally ridiculous but they take on a special degree of inanity when one realizes that anti-gay pastors, spokespeople, and organizations threw out the SAME horror stories when lgbt-inclusive hate crimes legislation was passed.
And to date, no pastor has been arrested in America for speaking out against homosexuality in the pulpit. The sad thing is that people like Jeffress will continue to spin the same false predictions and gullible folks will continue to believe them.
BREAKING NEWS: Religious Freedom vetoed in Arizona! Let the persecution of Christians begin! #SB1062

So if you're a Christian and you live in Arizona, your governor just told you the First Amendment doesn't apply there.

Too bad for the people of Arizona, Brewer caved to the bullies and is allowing discrimination against Christians. Another Republican cave.

In a short announcement, AZ Gov. Jan Brewer has announced that she has VETOED the anti-gay segregation bill. Details will be forthcoming, but let's just have a short dance!!
After watching Tucker Carlson throw a hissy fit during a debate in which he is supporting Arizona's awful anti-gay segregation bill, I don't feel guilty about starting the rumor that every time he passes a mirror, he looks at a photostat copy of his Fox News paycheck so he doesn't have to look at his reflection.
Two thing of special note. Notice how he conflates inappropriate behavior such as being naked in a public place or using vulgar language to be an lgbt. Also, I am so sick and tired of folks like him who complain about being attacked when it's pointed out that their position doesn't hold water.
Stop blaming everyone else because you can't defend your position. Maybe it does stink. Maybe it's an undefendable point of view.
Thank God Carlson doesn't play football. Every time his team loses, he would probably blame the referee.
Breitbart.com's Desperate Anti-Equality Gambit: Driving A Racial Wedge - Uh for the benefit of the future, if you are going to use an African-American group to exploit the alleged division between blacks and gays on the subject of civil rights, make sure that it's not a group which everyone KNOWS is a group bought-and-paid for by those who oppose marriage equality. It's just so tacky.
