Whining About The Protest At Porno Pete LaBarbera's Hate Academy

From one of Porno Pete's Christofascist supporters.

Mexico City Mayor Sues Catholic Cardinal Over Gay Marriage Accusations

Mexico City's Mayor Marcelo Ebrard has filed a defamation lawsuit against Cardinal Juan Sandoval after the cardinal told the press that Ebrard had bribed Mexico's Supreme Court justices to legalize same-sex marriage and gay adoption.

Sandoval made the allegations on Sunday during an event in Aguascalientes state. He also used a slur against gays while decrying the recent high court decisions that were called victories for the gay-rights community, as L.A. Times correspondent Tracy Wilkinson analyzes in this story. Church authorities were not backing down. Sandoval said Monday he would not retract his comments, and the archdiocese in Guadalajara later said it had proof of the allegations against the Supreme Court justices. Statements in support were issued from the archdiocese in Mexico City, while the Bishops' Conference of Mexico also said it supports Sandoval. In the secular institutional corner, the Supreme Court censured Sandoval's statements unanimously, and Ebrard issued a stark warning to the highest-ranking prelate of Mexico's second-largest city: "We live in a secular state, and here, whether we like it or not, the law rules the land," Ebrard said, according to La Jornada. "The cardinal must submit to the law of the land, like all other citizens of this country."

Earlier this month Mexico's Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriages performed in the nation's capital must be recognized in all 31 states. Last week the same court upheld the constitutionality of allowing gay adoption in Mexico City.

Brian Brown Vs. Rick Jacobs

Things got very heated when NOM's Brian Brown finally met the Courage Campaign's Rick Jacobs at the final stop on NOM's Hate Tour in DC. WATCH THIS.

PhoboQuotable - Robert Knight

"In light of federal Judge Vaughn R. Walker's ruling on August 4 striking down California's marriage law, let's imagine a worst-case scenario. It goes to the U.S. Supreme Court, where, flanked by leftist newcomers Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, Anthony Kennedy takes his latest plunge into existential mystery and manufactures a constitutional 'right' to force Americans to recognize same-sex 'marriage.' I'm not saying they are going to do this, but what if? What should right-thinking Americans do?

"First, they should announce loudly and clearly that they won't go along with this abuse of language ruse. Does a federal judge have the right to change the meaning of a word? For example, if a law gave special recognition to dogs (a dog license) could Judge Walker, a cat lover, arbitrarily decree that cats are dogs? Clearly not, any more than decreeing the absurdity of brideless or groomless 'marriage' into the law immediately transforms it into the real thing. Creating counterfeits and then forcing them down people's throats is straight out of George Orwell's Newspeak in 1984." - Coral Ridge Ministries spokestwat Robert Knight.

Knight further bleats that legalizing same-sex marriage would be similar to the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which stifled dissent of the federal government.

NOM Supporters In DC: The United States Government Is Under Satan's Power

I believe this is the conversation that we could hear in the background during NOM's live stream from DC on Sunday.

Stephanie Miller Vs. Dennis Prager Kamala Harris Vs. Harry Jackson

Last night on CNN newly out radio host Stephanie Miller took on conservative asshat Dennis Prager and Maryland carpetbagger Harry Jackson over marriage equality. San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris, who we haven't seen much of so far, also weighs in. In the second clip Jackson bizarrely warns that same-sex marriage will lead to legalized prostitution.

Stephanie Miller: "Every little girl has a dream, Larry, and I have a new one. I want to be gay-married by Kathy Griffin to a black woman. I want Laura Schlessinger to be my maid of honor, at a mosque. So that every right wing head will implode simultaneously."

Catholic TV Host: It's Time To End Democracy, Install Catholic Dictatorship

JMG reader Bernard tips us to this post by Pharyngula bloggger PZ Meyers:

We've been doing politics all wrong. Michael Voris has the answers. The problem with democracy is all these voters with different views on things like abortion and homosexuality, where people who vote for such things are just rotten parasites who want to destroy civilization. So he has two solutions: 1) only allow good Catholics to vote, and 2) ideally, get rid of democracy altogether and instead install a Catholic dictatorship. Really. He says that. I'm not making it up!

Watch the entire clip, you'll be awed by the asshattery. Real Catholic TV is "the world's first Catholic internet television network" with "hundreds of hours of instructional programming" that you can view "for a modest gift." They do not allow comments or ratings on their YouTube clips, of course.

UPDATE: Real Catholic TV has taken the video private, probably out of shame. And I was just about to mirror it to my own YouTube account. If anybody saved it, please email me.

Protect Marriage Gloats

Via press release from Protect Marriage:

Great news! The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has just now granted our request to suspend Judge Walker’s ruling against Proposition 8! This legal victory upholds the votes of 7 million Californians while the Perry v. Schwarzenegger case is heard on appeal. If the Ninth Circuit had not granted our motion, then Judge Walker’s decision would have gone into effect on Wednesday, changing the definition of marriage in California despite the vote of the people less than two years ago. As we pointed out in our motion, Judge Walker’s decision totally ignores virtually all legal precedents, the well-recognized public interest served by fostering traditional marriage, and even common sense itself.

In addition to stopping Judge Walker from imposing same-sex marriage on California, the Court of Appeal also ordered that this case will be expedited. That means our opening legal briefs are due in just 30 days! So please help support our legal team and all their important work. With the Attorney General and Governor refusing to defend the people’s vote for Prop 8, the entire burden of defending Prop 8 falls up our legal defense team. We receive no government funding. We rely exclusively on the generous financial support of concerned citizens like you. Please make a special donation right now to help us keep up with the legal costs of defending Prop 8! Thank you for your prayers and support!

Harry Bishop At NOM's DC Hate Rally

In case you didn't catch the live stream yesterday.

PhoboQuotable - Pat Buchanan

"When did the Creator indicate that among these rights was for homosexuals to have their unions recognized as marriages? The author of that declaration, Thomas Jefferson, equated homosexual acts with rape and wrote that male homosexuals (they used the term sodomites in that time) should be castrated and lesbians should have a hole cut into their noses.

"Undeniably, homosexuals have the same constitutional rights of free speech, peaceable assembly and trial by jury. But what the judge has done is declare the life choices and lifestyles of gays and lesbians to be equal to the life choice of married men and women. This is nothing but Walker's personal opinion.

"But he is declaring it to be the only rational conclusion that can be reached. And having reached it, he has seized upon a phrase in the 14th amendment, 'equal protection,' distorted its meaning and dictated that this means his view and his values henceforth are the law in California, the voters be damned.

"And what the judge dismisses and rejects as irrational is a conviction rooted in the history of the human race, biblical truth, natural law and basic common sense. For, in recent decades, male homosexuality has been linked to enteric diseases, hepatitis, AIDS and early death. Historically, from the late Roman Empire to Weimar, flagrant homosexuality has been associated with sick societies, decadent cultures and dying civilizations. Today would appear to be no exception." - Pat Buchanan, writing for the Christofascist site World Net Daily.

LIVE VIDEO: NOM's Final Hate Rally In DC

The final stop on NOM's national Hate Tour takes place in Washington DC today, where for some reason they are live-streaming the entire thing. It's supposed to have started at 2pm, but so far there's hardly anybody there. Shocker.

UPDATE: The live stream is concluded.

At The NOM Rally In Harrisburg

Porno Pete Vs. Glenn Beck

"Looks like Glenn Beck could have benefited from attending the AFTAH Truth Academy I Hate Faggots Academy [order DVDs or CDs of the Academy HERE; order online through AFTAH's donate page]. Beck is a doing incredibly important work in helping to save America from the misnamed 'progressives' — but evidently he is woefully ignorant about the real threat that homosexual activism poses to this nation and our precious freedoms. Memo: to Glenn: people of faith — like Matt Barber and Julea Ward — already have been fired or discriminated against for defending the historic Judeo-Christian sexual ethic. And this began happening before 'same-sex marriage' became the dominant issue in this cultural debate. The oppression will only get worse if homosexual 'marriage' is legalized nationally through an activist court ruling." - Porno Pete LaBarbera, clutching his pearls after Glenn Beck shrugged off same-sex marriage as an unimportant issue.

PORNO PETE'S LIES:

1. Matt Barber was NOT fired for his Christian beliefs, as debunked here on About.com's Urban Legends site.
2. Julea Ward was NOT discriminated against for her Christian beliefs, she flatly refused to abide by the secular rules of a government-funded university.

Family Research Council Election Advisory: Lincoln Wants You To Vote For Christians

A YouTube commenter on this clip provides these quotes to the contrary:

Lincoln: "The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." Lincoln: "My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures have become clearer and stronger with advancing years, and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them."

Archbishop Joseph Kurtz: Walker Has Defined All Marriages As Unconstitutional

"In a sense, he has declared marriage to be unconstitutional, because there is no such thing as ‘gay marriage’,” since true marriage requires a man and a woman."

Save California: Thomas Jefferson Would Have Imprisoned Walker For Treason

"Walker knows that his ruling will be appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and could be overturned, yet he seems to care little about a peaceful process. By demanding that homosexual 'marriages' begin Aug. 18, Walker is demanding his own way, despite normal legal processes, despite his oath of office, and despite the written words and contextual origins of the U.S. Constitution. If these were the days of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, federal marshals would arrest and imprison Vaughn Walker as a traitor and domestic enemy of the United States Constitution." - Save California president Randy Thomasson, upping the hate another notch.

World Net Daily Covers Prop 8 Stay Lift

In typical fashion, the nation's most widely read Christofascist site covered yesterday's Prop 8 news with bile, contempt, and a lovely photo of two Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Because the only thing more repulsive than a man in a dress is a man in a dress wearing kabuki makeup. And note the insulting subhead "Homosexual Told State..."

Family Research Council Election Advisory: There Is No Morality Without Religion

Tony Perkins Rides The Waambulance

"Once again, Chief Judge Walker has disregarded the will of the people of California by interpreting the U.S. Constitution in a way that imposes his own personal beliefs. We support Protect Marriage's immediate appeal to the Ninth Circuit to stay this decision until the conclusion of the case.

"Voters in 30 states have protected marriage in their state constitutions because they understand the importance of a mom and a dad to children. The social science data is overwhelming and clear - children do best when raised by a mom and dad. Judge Walker's opinion completely stepped over these findings by the international research community. Now, by refusing to stay his ruling until all appeals are adjudicated, Judge Walker is cynically attempting to limit the options of the appellate courts by creating a legion of same-sex couples whose marriages could be nullified. In essence, Judge Walker is presenting an unnecessary challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court." - Tony Perkins, douchenozzle-in-chief of the Family Research Council.
