News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyFebruary 24th, 2012
Oh good heavens.
More detail has been provided on the tale of the poor little hairdresser who stood up to the vile gay-hating governor and who bravely stood on principal and refused to cut her hair. Turns out that this wasn’t exactly what happened.
Actually, Gov. Martinez didn’t ask him for a haircut. He had cut her hair once but wasn’t her regular stylist. Rather, he called her to inform her that he had discovered her position on marriage and was no longer available. He informed the press as well.
Oh, and while he was at it, he thought he’d throw in a insult based on her ethnicity. Cuz nothing proves that you have the moral high ground and are the injured party like engaging in a little racism.
Geez, thanks buddy.
As for Susanna “that Mexican” Martinez, I don’t know much about her but she has gotten some heat lately from the wingnuts for a gay appointment and she took the opportunity to tell the press that she opposes discrimination and thinks people should be judged on their merits.
Just a thought… Please don’t put yourself forward as a champion for our cause if you just now discovered that your governor doesn’t support marriage. If this hasn’t registered til just now, odds are that you may not be the ideal spokesman. Because you’re dumber than a box of sanatorium santorum.

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.

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.

I appreciated the loose, casual style of this, with the “cuz” and “geez,” but you might want to check that “sanitorium/santorum” typo near the ends.
Glad the gov “opposes discrimination” for individuals and their merits, but not supporting marriage IS a form of discrimination. So I think she’s talking somewhat “confusedly” (a nicer term than “out of her ass”).

I don’t know… I’m having fun trying to imagine what a “box of sanatorium” would be.

Oh. Thank you for the integrity demonstrated in this article, especially important when it’s so often necessary to point out ways those on the other side tend to let each other get away with much worse.

Jim, frankly, it sounds like someone with a short fuse and a poor filter, or an anger management problem. In fact, if my uncle has gone into hairdressing… nah, can’t be.
And yes, if you’re going to questions someone’s intelligence, that’s the posting to double-check the spelling and grammar before hitting “post”. Goober.
