Today\’s the day we\’re trying to push the site to the media and public. Anything anyone can do to help spread the word is appreciated!
Let\’s take some wind out of NOM\’s sails.
Any chance BTB can make a new post letting people know that the site is fully-up and running after a long weekend of frantically coding it?
Chances are excellent. Here’s Two Men For Marriage, complete with their own blog.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.
Prologue: Why I Went To “Love Won Out”
Part 1: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Part 2: Parents Struggle With “No Exceptions”
Part 3: A Whole New Dialect
Part 4: It Depends On How The Meaning of the Word "Change" Changes
Part 5: A Candid Explanation For "Change"
At last, the truth can now be told.
Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups, we examine the statistics and the case studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!
And don‘t miss our companion report, How To Write An Anti-Gay Tract In Fifteen Easy Steps.
Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

That site as well as BTB should implement buttons for sharing on Stumble Upon, Face Book, Digg, etc.

Tried to setup an acct, but got a msg about not being able to connect to the database with “MySQL”. What is missing? I run MS Office 2003 Prof on this PC. Is that not the correct SQL engine? -rwf

Richard, that’s just a server error because the site is getting slammed today due to all the web traffic (which is a good thing). Try again later.

BTB Editors:
Now might be a good time to circle back around to the series Anti-gay Arguments We Don’t Bother With (And Should): Parts 1-5 and offer a reorganized and augmented version to these folks to help bolster their content. It might help to consider incorporating some of the more insightful comments into the series and offer it as contributed material from BTB and Gabriel Arana. I’m sure everybody would appreciate that bit of help for 2m4m.org.
Just a thought.

David C. has a very good idea. With all the events in recent weeks, it seems perhaps it is a good time for a ‘refresher course’. I was a bit occupied when they were first posted and would appreciate the chance to dig into again more deeply, especially if some of the outstanding comments were reprinted. And Syz, I did finally get on thru another link. Looks like a promising site. If the fundies start hunting for what they are expecting at a site named “2M4M.org” I imagine they will be traumatized at what they find.
