News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyOctober 7th, 2011
GOP Presidential candidate Sen. Rick Santorum pitched the most oddest reason for voting for a candidate to the Values Voter Conference so far. Get ready for this one:
“When you look at someone to determine whether they’d be the right person for public office, look at who they lay down with at night and what they believe,” Santorum said.
Let’s see if any of the other GOP candidates can top that for wierdness.
By the way, was that a shot at Rick Perry?

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!

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.

Good ol’ Rick, going out of the way to live up to the definition of “Sanctorum” as found on Google.

Is he suggesting we sleep with the candidates spouses to see which one is the best lay?
Why is Santorum so obsessed with sex? It is just creepy.

The man is unhinged. Yes Rick you just placed the mental image of you screwing your wife before the eyes of the “values” voters.

Remember this is the same man who brought home the remains of an aborted fetus so his other children could mourn it. I don’t think reason & logic were ever his strong points.

First of all, I totally agree with andrewdb…
Thanks for reminding me to google, bing, and yahoo santorum today (and everyday). Make it part of your daily habits, kids.

I really, really don’t want to have to look in Frothy Mix’s bedroom at night. That right there is reason enough not to vote for him.

The sex-obsessed sh!t is living up to his name I see.
enough already

Note, please, he said ‘at night’.
He did not refer to the afternoon motel trysts with bought boys.
The good news is, if the far right of the Christian world leave this conclave of hate with the feeling they are ‘called’ to run a third party candidate to ‘save’ ameriKa, then Santorum will deserve our thanks.
And that is the feeling I’m getting from this week. There’s something wrong with all the front runners.
Intelligent while black – Cain.
Too dumb to notice he’s dumb – Perry.
Mormon and thus not Christian – Mittens.
Bachmann and Santorum would make a lovely third party ticket, no?

“Bachmann and Santorum would make a lovely third party ticket, no?”
God damn, I do *Not* want to see what kind of campaign slogans they would come up with.
Nor do I want to see the amount of ugly religious fanaticism certain people would pour into promoting even a certain-to-fail enterprise like that, just because they could.

One more failing of Rick Santorum is his proper use of the English “lay / lie.” It’s not “look at who they lay down with at night…”
but “look at (the person) with whom they (sic) lie down at night”.
One can lay another person or lie down with another person.
I am still a stickler for the use of “they” for plural, not “he” or she” no matter what Webster may say.
