Why Restricting Westboro Baptist Church's Protests Wouldn't Harm Free Speech

10.06.2010

Westboro Baptist Church could be one of the more offensive groups in the country today.  These people protest fallen American troops’ funerals to promote their anti-homosexual message.  To most anyone outside their congregation, it’s beyond appalling. The lawsuit brought on by one of those deceased soldier’s families has caused the question of whether or not [...]

A Simple Case for Humanity

01.30.2010

Too often the case against gay marriage toes the religious or revisionist-history lines, people arguing that marriage has always been between one man and one woman since the beginning of time and that homosexuality is a sin.  People reduce gay marriage to terms of grotesque creatures, not loving human beings and breaking nature’s law.  People [...]

Huckabee: Broken Record on Same Sex Marriage

11.26.2009

Leave it to potential GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee to repeat old rhetoric in his battle against same-sex marriage. Huckabee panders to the Christian Right and alienates everyone else with his flawed slippery-slope argument that if same-sex marriage were legalized, that just about any form of union would end up being permitted.  Namely, that polygamy [...]

"God's Mandate" Belongs In Church

10.08.2009

Take a look at this latest ad against gay marriage.  We’ll discuss afterward. Sigh. God’s mandate?  Really?  This is secular law.  It has nothing to do with any one god’s so-called mandate.  What a slap in the face to anyone of any other faith besides Christianity.  How arrogant and insulting.  As tough a pill it [...]

Maine Same-Sex Marriage Supporters Take Notice

09.30.2009

This is what the pro-marriage equality camp should be using to convince voters: Janice Langbehn, Lisa Marie Pond and three of their four children planned a cruise in February 2007 to celebrate the couple’s 18 years together. But Pond suffered a massive stroke before the ship left port and was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. [...]

Yeah, Iowa!!!

04.03.2009

I love Iowa.  I loved it when I visited it last month on tour.  And I loved it when I was there last year for my friend’s wedding. And I now I love it because it has – unanimously – become the third state in the union to legalize gay marriage. The Iowa Supreme Court [...]

On Gay Marriage…

03.29.2009

Andrew Sullivan: We know now that same-gender attraction, bonding and sex is ubiquitous in nature, and almost certainly has some evolutionary explanation. We know too, experientially, that the love cherished by many gay couples is real and beautiful and deeply human. It is not merely “contractual” or “nihilist”. It is organic, natural and completing. It [...]

Vermont Senate Votes for Gay Marriage

03.24.2009

Vermont Senate votes overwhelmingly in favor of gay marriage. It’s not law yet, but it’s a damn good start. I agree with Andrew Sullivan that this is a better way for gay marriage to become legalized than through the courts.  These are elected officials acting on behalf of their constituency.  And they are doing so [...]

Overturning Prop 8: A Plea for Love and Tolerance

03.04.2009

California’s Proposition 8 should never have even been a ballot upon which people could vote.  Ideally the majority of Americans would realize that discrimination should be eradicated wherever it rears its ugly head, but come on;  this is the same country where Rush Limbaugh is the figurehead of a political party.  The same country that [...]

Anti-Gay Movement Advertisers Should NEVER Work in Advertising

02.18.2009

This is a full-page, anti-gay advertisement that went out in the Salt Lake Tribune.  Click the picture for the link to a larger version of the image. I could easily attack just about every single item in this ad (and, wow, there are a LOT) and I would get extremely riled up and upset and [...]
