A question: this ruling applies to Puerto Rico and the other territories, right? Thanks.

My question is, how did all of these places get illuminated with the rainbow lights on such short notice? Especially the government building in Puerto Rico. It’s almost as if the whole thing was set up just waiting for this decision.

And that might imply that God just loves the idea.

Ben, it really wasn’t such short notice. For those who are always on the alert for revealed truth, God foretold the court’s decision a week ago by creating rainbows over the White House.

That picture of the Minnesota bridge in particular is incredibly beautiful.

Ben, I would assume some of those places were already set up for pride events this weekend (esp. the Empire State building). Others, like the castle at the Disney park probably have elaborate lighting setups permanently in place. Only the Puerto Rico capital is really a surprise to me.

JohnAGJ,

Puerto Rico is impacted by the SCOTUS decision. There was a case before the First Circuit as to whether Puerto Rico’s ban on same sex marriage violates the US Constitution. This ruling would seem to answer that question.

The Governor has signed an executive order requiring the island to issue same-sex marriage licenses, though it may take a few weeks for this to happen.

It’s hell getting old and forgetful. I love that picture of the White House bathed in the rainbow but am grumpy that I didn’t find out about it in time to hop a bus and head down to hang on the fence and gaze on it with awe and joy.

It’s good to be alive even at 77.

Jerry, it’s a lot better than the alternative, generally speaking.

What Are Little Boys Made Of?

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.

Slouching Towards Kampala: Uganda’s Deadly Embrace of Hate

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.

Paul Cameron’s World

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.

Testing The Premise: Are Gays A Threat To Our Children?

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.

Straight From The Source: What the “Dutch Study” Really Says About Gay Couples
