When you care enough to send the very best

Sometimes these things practically write themselves.
Here’s an idea: We can all send Hallmark thank-you cards to McDonald’s.
Most states don’t recognize gay marriage — but now Hallmark does.
The nation’s largest greeting card company is rolling out same-sex wedding cards — featuring two tuxedos, overlapping hearts or intertwined flowers, with best wishes inside. “Two hearts. One promise,” […]

More “Constitution Party” fun

Incredibly, there’s more to report about the so-called “Constitution Party.” It seems that the nearly illiterate smearmonger Jerome Corsi (”It’s got nearly 700 footnotes in it. The book’s still very easy to read…A great number of the references and the footnotes are Internet websites, so you can look them up yourself.”) is actually a supporter […]

The Anti-Constitution Party?

Speaking of being outside the mainstream, here’s one more letter to the editor for our Hall of Shame. There’s nothing particularly interesting or fresh about it. It repeats the same old threadbare canards we’ve been tolerating for years (”if you think homosexuality is ok, you have to think incest is ok, too!”), proposes that morality […]

I’m lovin’ it

McDonald’s does it again, sputters the action alert headline from the American Family Association’s Don Wildmon.
What is it this time, you ask? Well, apparently McDonald’s sponsored and purchased a half-page ad in the program for a 2007 Summit on workplace equality. (Pssst. Mister Wildmon, you’ll want to direct your crack team of investigators to check […]

A new Loudoun County Republican Committee?

Russell Muños, Vice President of Equality Loudoun and member of the Log Cabin Republicans of Virginia, and Jonathan Weintraub, Equality Loudoun co-founder and board member, attended the recent Loudoun County Republican Committee (LCRC) ice cream social at the Lansdowne Potomac club. (In the interest of full disclosure, Jonathan is also a member of the Loudoun […]

Magic 8

The notes taken by an apparent infiltrator on the July 30 conference call between anti-marriage pastors and leaders of the anti-gay right include this action plan for campaigning against California’s Prop 8:
The campaign’s volunteer recruitment is built around an “8 for 8” theme, asking pastors to recruit 8 other pastors for next month’s call. Among […]

Way to go!

We couldn’t have asked for a better accompaniment to our letter (see below the fold) this week to the Purcellville Gazette, thanking the editors for publishing “A Boycott,” the letter by young “William A.”
We conclude by saying that if the letter “had not been published, community members would not have been informed about the increasing […]

Marriage equality: A way in

First, please forgive me for sharing this bit of unintentional humor. In the midst of a recent (yay!) substantive discussion about the meaning of the much-abused term “conservative,” a commenter who goes by the handle “t” (that’s supposed to be “cross,” not a lower-case t; he fancies himself a Christian) intruded with this:
Excuse me, […]

Why do anti-gay activists hate capitalism?

When we first saw this letter in the Purcellville Gazette (from “William A., age 10″) it brought to mind another western Loudoun family in which the adults use children to promote their own anti-gay proclivities. In one instance, two young siblings were dressed up as a “bride” and “groom” to illustrate their parents’ disdain for […]

Framing us as “the enemy”

Update: How could I have neglected to include the violent rhetoric of Manassas blogger Greg Letiecq in my sample? Incredibly, Letiecq made this statement shortly after the murders in Knoxville. Thank you, Bruce Roemmelt.
You can ultimately herd leftists no more easily than you can herd cats, unless of course deadly force is on the menu […]
