Do I Have a Demon?

Get back, Mr. Demon!

Some time back I presented you with Reverend Bob Larson and his $9.95 online demon test:

Taking the Demon Test® may be the most important spiritual decision you make. This Test is the result of more than 30 years of research and thousands of hours in personal ministry with troubled souls. Through this [...]

Maggie: Part 2 of 'The Harms of Same-Sex Marriage'

Maggie Gallagher, founder of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), has answered the question:

In states where same-sex couples have been allowed to marry, what harm has been brought to individuals or society at large?

I already knocked apart a portion of her answer here. Now I’d like to deal with this bit:

I think we’re in the early stages of seeing my primary [...]

This Is SO Satisfying!

If you’ve ever wanted to see an anti-gay on TV being held responsible what he’s saying — and the implications of what he’s saying — you’re going to love this.

Just one thing was missing: Barney should made it clear that studies showing kids do best with a married mother and father are always comparing two-parent [...]

Maggie: The Harms of Same-Sex Marriage (part 1)

Andrew Sullivan has another video in the Ask Maggie Gallagher Anything series. In this one, she is asked:

In states where same-sex couples have been allowed to marry, what harm has been brought to individuals or society at large?

Maggie names a few issues, but for now I want to focus on this one:

You see the idea and the ideal that children need [...]

Walking My Bummer Back. A Bit.

I wrote yesterday that Barack Obama does not believe we are covered by the Equal Protection Clause, and that he would vote against us on the constitutionality of Prop 8. I’ll have to walk that back — though not as far you might like, and not for the reasons you might expect.

A friend has pointed [...]

I'm Going to be Such a Bummer Now

Barack Obama thinks the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment should not protect same-sex couples.

How’s that for a cold bucket of water?

Yes, the president personally supports same-sex marriage, but according to ABC News (who broke the story):

The president stressed that this is a personal position, and that he still supports the concept of states’ [...]

I'm Celebrating...

…but can anyone explain how I got to the point where two margaritas can get me tipsy?  Anywho, I’m feeling silly, so enjoy this variation the Hillary texting meme:

Obama Opens the Yellow Brick Road

I just sent $100 to President Obama’s campaign fund. Yes, this GayTM has reopened. I guess this means I won’t get yelled at by any more clueless Democratic campaign workers.

My heart sings. It does. In 1980 there was not one openly gay person in my 1600-student high school. In 1989, Denmark was the first nation to [...]

North Carolina

North Carolina tears at the heart, especially since we know that most voters actually opposed what they didn’t realize what they were voting for.

At times like this you have to look up from the ground you’re walking on, set your gaze on the horizon, and keep your eyes on the prize. We’re the ones holding [...]

Maggie: Why Focus on Same-Sex Marriage Rather than Divorce?

Andrew Sullivan has offered his readers a chance to ask Maggie Gallagher questions and hear how she responds. The first one appeared yesterday:

Why do those defending the sanctity of marriage target a small segment of the threat and ignore adulterers and divorcees?

This is a polite version of: Are you really concerned about marriage, or is [...]
