Anti-gay ad in Belize invokes Jesus

Lgbts and their allies in Belize are attempting to get rid of the antiquated sodomy laws. The following commercial is by those who don't want that to happen.

The irony is the inference of Jesus in the ad, seeing that He never said a word about homosexuality.

How They See Us: Unmasking the Religious Right War on Gay America - Folks I know you are probably tired of me promoting this booklet but this is important. Thanks to a very nice article in Queerty, it is less than 1,000 reads away from 20,000 reads (it is already the NUMBER ONE political book on Sribd.) Thank you for all you have done promoting and getting it out to people. And as I work to develop a hard copy of it, please send this out to folks who haven't read it yet, folks who may need this information (especially our lgbt youth), and feel free to download it. I get NO compensation from this except the satisfaction that I am doing something positive for the community. And that means more to me than all of the money or acclaim in the world.

Scenes from when Minnesota made marriage equality legal

 

The picture is from the day the Minnesota Senate voted to pass the marriage equality bill. It is one of many taken by Cadence and Eli Photography.

In fact, Cadence and Eli Photography took many pictures of that day and compiled them into a huge photo album. 

I enjoyed viewing the photo album and I know you will, too.

Why is Christianity getting a bad rep? Because of this . . .

Unbelievable. A day after smearing gay men with an ugly tweet about the Boy Scouts and pedophilia, Liberty Counsel member and Liberty University Dean (yeah, I know!) Matt Barber has the audacity to talk about how marriage equality is from Satan and is a way that government is "shaking its fist" at God.

 I doubt Satan has anything to do with marriage equality. If you ask me, I think he was too busy getting Barber to post that nasty tweet.

Why can't homophobes stop talking about gays and sex?

We've seen it with 'Porno' Pete LaBarbera and Matt Barber (whom a less polite friend of mine once dubbed the 'Sisters of Sodomy') and now with this absolutely bizarre video.

Why do some homophobes constantly obsess with how they think gays are having sex?

Hat tip to Jeremy Hooper.
