Apparently Tony Perkins Expects Democrats To Take Control of the White House and Both Houses of Congress

Hate Group Leader Tony Perkins of Family Research Council is either:

1. Convinced that Democrats will control both houses of Congress and that Biden will prevail or;
2. he is trying to convince his supporters that Democrats will control both houses of Congress and that Biden will prevail.

Why else would Perkins send an email titled Help Us Defeat the So-Called "Equality Act!"?

The Equality Act, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity as protected classes to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, is only viable if Democrats control both houses of Congress and if Biden wins.

Ryan T. Anderson is Not an MD But He Plays One on Religious Blogs

“Ryan T. Anderson is willing to kill children if the teachings of the Church are defended. … Anderson is neither sane nor rational.”

Thursday. According to Ryan T. Anderson, Defender of the Faith™: Protect Good Medicine, Stop the Censorship of Good Counseling. Once again, this functional nitwit is promoting gender identity conversion therapy which can cause lifelong adverse mental health consequences.

Overall, Ryan T. Anderson is convinced that he is a great deal more intelligent than he really is. Anderson is also wed to the notion that he is an expert with respect to juvenile gender dysphoria.

None of Anderson's drivel has any connection to the best interests of children. This is a ridiculous exercise in trying to prevent people from becoming transgender lest they pose a contradiction to scripture.

Paul Cameron is Still a Mendacious Bigot

Paul Cameron is a liar and a bigot. Just a reminder that he is still around.

Disgraced psychologist Paul Cameron (Family Research Institute) is still unhinged over LGBTQ people. On Monday he ran with Voters More Than 3:2 Against Biden's Transgender Rights Push.

In the way of background, here are just a few of Cameron's discredited assertions:

• Gay people are all pedophiles.
• Gay people have an average life expectancy about 20 years shorter than straight people.
• Gay people are 43 times more likely to commit crimes than straight people.
• Tolerance of homosexuality would cause gay sex to become predominant over heterosexual sex.

AFA is Peddling and Promoting an Anti-Gay Book

In an email today, American Family Association (an anti-LGBTQ hate group) is promoting a book for sale though AFA: What Does the Bible Really Teach About Homosexuality? by Kevin DeYoung. Fascinating no doubt.

DeYoung is a North Carolina pastor. According to the description:

After examining key biblical passages in both the Old and New Testaments and the Bible’s overarching teaching regarding sexuality, DeYoung responds to popular objections raised by Christians and non-Christians alike, making this an indispensable resource for thinking through one of the most pressing issues of our day.

Kristi Marie Stokes is the proprietor of Covenant Weddings LLC in the Ohio. It is a one-person business operated from Stokes' home in the Cleveland suburbs with a UPS mailbox in Parma, Ohio. The business was formed in May of this year.

Ms. Stokes solemnizes weddings and writes wedding vows. Stokes did not want to do so for gay couples due to Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs™.

Alliance Defending Freedom, an anti-LGBTQ hate group, has made it widely known that they will file pre-enforcement suits to prevent states and municipalities from enforcing nondiscrimination laws protecting LGBTQ people. The result was Covenant Weddings LLC v. Cuyahoga County, Ohio filed in the Northern District of Ohio federal court.

Thousands of Witches Plot 'Binding Spell' Tonight Against Trump

From the “you can't make this shit up” department:

As if battling House Democrats' impeachment inquiry against him weren't enough, President Donald Trump will next have to face a "binding spell" cast by "thousands" of witches late Friday night.

The above was supposed to happen last Friday. CBN News/Steve Warren explain how it all works:

Scheduled for Oct. 25 at 11:59 p.m., these self-proclaimed "witches" are planning to conduct a ritual which is meant to "bind," but not harm the president unlike a "curse" or a "hex." These witches believe they are doing something positive for the entire country by not allowing President Trump to cause harm to the U.S. by his actions.

Here's a Shocker: Franklin Graham is Angry

Franklin Graham is perpetually pissed.

via Ethan Hyman, AP

Preacher Franklin Graham has never re-hinged. Graham's reaction to rulings in United States v. Windsor and then Obergefell v. Hodges are perhaps best described as Roy Horn (of Siegfried and Roy) being dragged offstage by his neck in the jaws of an angry tiger.

Franklin Graham's ire is now directed at Pope Francis. In an October 22 Facebook post Graham wrote:

The news has reported that Pope Francis said in a new documentary that “homosexuals have a right to be part of the family” and is calling for civil union laws for same-sex couples. I find these comments from the Pope unthinkable in light of the Word of God.

Anti-trans Crackpots in Concert - What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

A comedy of errors as two well-educated individuals are unable to comprehend a government request for information.

Jane Robbins and Michael K. Laidlaw

October 21 and 25, two Defenders of the Faith are working in concert to undermine the Endocrine Society's clinical practice guidelines. They attempt to do so by attacking the Society rather than the Society's guidelines. As you will see, both of these people are terribly confused.

On his website Dr. Michael K. Laidlaw claims to be a board certified endocrinologist. The Rocklin, California physician is not board certified by any specialty board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. In other words, Dr. Laidlaw is lying to potential patients.

Laidlaw's partner in confusion is Jane W. Robins. Robbins is retired from American Principles Project. She practices law out of Tucker, GA (about 20 miles northeast of Atlanta).

Rich Penkoski Goes to Court to Press His Daughter's 'Right' to be Odious

“… the confused daughter of a preacher without a church has enlisted two mediocre lawyers to press her ‘right’ to be loathsome.”

According to “Rev.” Rich, Brielle intends to wear that and other apparel containing offensive messages in the future. Therefore, they have gone to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee to secure Brielle's First Amendment rights to be obnoxious.

Meet Pastor David Aucoin, purveyor of crackpottery

Thursday, Dave Aucoin of Rhode Island has authored Is Change Possible? It is posted to the blog of Family Policy Alliance, the political wing of Focus on the Family.

I have a certain disdain for rhetorical questions and the logical falacy of begging the question. That said, Mr. Aucoin is referring to conversion therapy to change sexual orientation or gender identity.

The short answer is “no,” change is not really possible. When Dr. Jack Turban was still with Harvard Medical School (now in a Stanford University fellowship) he led a team that determined that attempts to change gender identity are especially toxic, leading to a lifetime of adverse mental health consequences.

At Least Dobson is Truthful About One Thing

James Dobson wants to substitute his opinion based upon ancient texts for that of a child's doctors and parents.

Something named the Kairos Company is apparently James Dobson's PR representative. It has posted Dr. James Dobson Denounces Biden's Willingness to Put Children in Harm's Way. The post is attributed to Kairos and there is no quoted material.

Apparently:

• God speaks to Dobson.
• Dobson speaks to Kairos.
• On behalf of Daddy D., Kairos reveals the deity's word to the rest of us.
• David reads this crap and passes it on to you.

Or something like that. But I digress.

In Brief: Teens "Losing Their Religion"

Thursday, a new post at Heritage Foundation's blog is titled: America’s Teenagers Are Losing Their Religion. The author is Timothy Goeglein whose day job is with Focus on the Family.

Mr. Goeglein writes:

Today’s teenagers are growing up in a society that is increasingly hostile to faith, especially regarding faith-based values, and the social cost of being identified as religious amongst [sic] one’s peers is getting higher with each passing day.

Oh poor you. The reason (from my perspective) that society is increasingly hostile to faith is because people of faith are increasingly hostile to our secular society. They live in an alternate reality.

If people are opposed to abortion, so be it. However, the holier-than-thou crowd has invented a supposed consequence of abortion as a means of attacking reproductive rights.

In an email today from Ruth Institute (an anti-LGBTQ hate group) we learn that Jennifer Roback Morse has interviewed “Dr. Angela LaFranchi,” (sic). The least she could do is to get the name of the crackpot correct. It is Angela Lanfranchi.

The title of the email is: Abortion Causes Breast Cancer. Here's Proof! It doesn't and the proof is nothing more than religious nonsense.

Hate Group Leader Smears Michelle Obama in Order to Ask for Money

The con: Manufacture a phony controversy and then use it to ask for money.

According to Brian S. Brown of International Organization for the Family — an anti-LGBTQ hate group: Michelle Obama Must Answer for Netflix Exploitation.

Brown would have people believe that Ms. Obama has an obligation (that she does not have) and that Netflix is exploitive (which it is not).

This is all about Neflix airing a French film called Cuties; a movie that Brian Brown doesn't like. The fact is that the religious right manufactured an idiotic controversy in order to solicit donations. That is what they do. They will seize on any excuse to contact supporters over some purported outrage.

The script then calls upon the group's constituency to solve the problem by donating money to the organization providing the email. If more people would question how their money will actually address an issue there would be less of this BS.

Monday, Dr. Michael Brown wrote: Mr. Biden, Do You Really Advocate Sterilizing Children? The logical fallacy of begging the question has never been appreciated by Michael Brown in spite of the fact that Brown has a legitimate PhD.

Michael Brown is obsessed with transgender youth. Little wonder. Brown is a Christian convert with the extremism of a convert. For what seems like the thousandth time, religious conservatives believe that the existence of transgender people is in direct contradiction to Genesis 1:27.

Genesis was probably authored in the 6th century BCE. It makes perfect sense that medical science should be governed by ancient texts when life expectancy was about 30 years of age. Right?

NOM - Send Us Money and Barrett Will Overturn Obergefell

If confirmed for a seat on the Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett is expected to rule in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

via Washington Post

Brian S. Brown, of National Organization for Marriage, is convinced that Amy Coney Barrett will overturn Obergefell v. Hodges but donations are necessary to make it happen. Brown idiotically calls the Obergefell ruling “illegitimate.”

Worrying about Obergefell in the abstract is pointless. Mr. Brown seems to think that the fact that the Catholic Church does not approve of marriage equality is sufficient for the Court to overturn the ruling. If there is some other reason for the Court to overturn a fairly recent decision, Brown fails to provide it.

In the final analysis Brian S. Brown wants the Supreme Court to overturn a ruling that has produced no discernible harms and has wide popular support. I am not sure that the votes are there and I do not know what arguments would be launched in opposition to marriage equality.

Time for the Sprigg to Upchuck Some Vomit

via YouTube - 2016

Friday, a post at Family Research Council's blog is titled: Why Joe Biden Is Wrong on Gender Transition for Eight-Year-Olds: FRC Action Explains. Oh do tell.

Peter Sprigg of Family Research Council (an anti-LGBTQ hate group) is smearing LGBTQ persons again. It is his favorite hobby. This time around he is combining the smear with an effort to ding Joe Biden's presidential campaign.

What Mr. Biden said was something to the effect that a transgender eight-year-old or ten-year-old should be free from discrimination. The folks at FRC are advocates of oppressing people that they do not approve of due to ancient superstitions.

The aforementioned blog post is a lead-in to a new pamphlet from Peter Sprigg. According to FRC, Sprigg's hatework “details the scientific evidence of long-term harm of gender transition procedures on minors.”

That hate group leader is Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality fame. AFTAH was so profoundly disorganized that it failed to file tax returns three years in a row. It lost tax-exempt status in May of 2015 which means that donations are not tax deductible.

A New Conspiracy Theory Regarding Barrett's use of "Sexual Preference"

Yes, it's Dr. Michael Brown — again:

During her interaction with California Sen. Diane Feinstein Tuesday, Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett used the forbidden term "sexual preference" with reference to LGBT sexuality. Not only did this cause an instant internet firestorm, but it apparently led to an instant adjustment in a major online dictionary. The term is now officially "offensive" when used in the sense of "orientation."

Whether or not “sexual preference” is offensive depends, in part, upon who is using the term. Religious conservatives intentionally replace sexual orientation with sexual preference to convey the idea that homosexuality is a choice.

We cannot know for sure. However, I would have to guess that Amy Coney Barrett was regurgitating a phrase common in her orbit. According to ultra-conservative Catholics, there are no gay people. Rather, there are people who, from time to time, experience “same-sex attraction;” a condition that can be cured with prayer.

The Regularly Scheduled Shitfit Over Rainbow Oreo Cookies

Victoria Gisondi seems to be a full-time literalist Catholic. Nabisco — the maker of Oreos — has ruined Gisondi's whole day (Tuesday).

I get it. Gisondi does not approve of LGBTQ people. Therefore, Ms. Gisondi does not approve of rainbow Oreo cookies. Ms. Gisondi required about 200 incoherent words to express her opprobrium. You would think that she would have something more productive to do.

Instead, she has invested considerable time and effort into looking spectacularly stupid.

Dear Judge Barrett: What is Your "Sexual Preference?"

Based upon her testimony Amy Coney Barrett is confused over the difference between sexual preferences and sexual orientation. I thought that a very small sample of sexual preferences might be helpful.

To avoid further confusion — and given the fact that Ms. Barrett is a heterosexual female (I think) — I will address heterosexual preferences which eliminates having to designate a passer and a receiver (while the goal line remains the same):

Reliable anti-LGBTQ polemicist, Michael Brown, asks Why Does Facebook Discriminate Against Gays?

It might seem petty but we should not tolerate changing the adjective “gay” into the noun “gays.” We are gay people. That said, Mr. Brown thinks he is a great deal cleverer than he really is:

Why does Facebook treat gays unfairly? Why does it put them in a special class, telling them they must remain gay, even if they want to change?

Why does Facebook suppress the stories of those who have changed—and are much happier for it—rather than give them the space to choose for themselves?

The Same People Are Still Trying to "Prove" That Gay Couples are Crappy Parents

It is hard to fathom why people continue to a) oppose marriage equality and; b) do so through unqualified people attempting to denigrate thoroughly settled science.

Friday I received an email from Austin Institute (of Mark Regnerus¹ and Luis Tellez² fame) promoting a paper titled: Are Mothers and Fathers Interchangeable Caregivers?

The article is published to a third-rate journal (more on that later), Marriage & Family Review. The abstract does not mention gay parenting. However, everyone involved in this project has been obsessed over marriage equality for many years. Parenting is their core — and flimsy — argument in favor of marriage discrimination.

Ever since marriage equality came to Massachusetts in 2004, the principal argument of the faithful has been that gay people should not be allowed to marry because they are terrible parents. It never made any sense. It was the best they could do to voice a seemingly secular argument to support a religious objection. It is a lie.

2. Secondly, there is no case currently before any court that challenges the ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. The Court cannot simply reconsider a case that has already been resolved.

I have already written about Alito's and Thomas' displeasure with the ruling in Obergefell. It is the same objection that they had voiced in dissent five years ago.
