Carrie Prejean\’s pastor thought she was like Esther, who risked her life to save the Jewish people. Now Carrie thinks that she\’s the center of attention for both God and Satan.
“I felt as though Satan was trying to tempt me in asking me this question. And then God was in my head and in my heart saying, ‘Do not compromise this. You need to stand up for me and you need to share with all these people … you need to witness to them and you need to show that you\’re not willing to compromise that for this title of Miss USA.\’ And I knew right here that it wasn\’t about winning. It was about being true to my convictions.”
Oh good heavens.

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.

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.

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.

Well, she got the question beforehand. All contestants do. So it’s not like she had anything to hesitate about really.
This is just awesome. All this is really going to her head. And if she’s playing them for the attention, well, she sure knows how.

Yes, because God and Satan have nothing better to do than worry about a California beauty queen…
It was just a thought in her head. She probably hadn’t had one of those in awhile.

If God is infallible, omniscient, all-powerful, etc., then wouldn’t he ALWAYS win anyway?!
“You know what?” Being an anti-gay beauty queen worked out real well for Anita Bryant. Maybe we should encourage her to keep this issue going!
