Skateboards: How to Get Straight

I found this at Bilerico.com

I imagine most of those ex-gay "therapy" sessions go pretty much like this. Why is that all the ex-gay "therapists" always look like they're the ones holding down a regular bar stool at a drag bar? Liam Sullivan (better known as "Kelly" from the Shoes viral video) skewers these stupid "reparative therapy" treatments for what they are - nonsense.

Dutch Outraged Over Santorum's Euthanasia Claim

I picked up this clip at Buzzfeed.com where they have posted an article stating that the Dutch media is making a joke about the "facts" Santorum has.
"Public statistics, which have been reported since the practice was legalized in 2002, cite 3,136 reports of euthanasia out of a total of 136,000 in the Netherlands in 2011, a bit more than 2%."
"The Dutch were also flummoxed by Santorum's claim that Dutch elderly wear "Don't Euthanize Me" bracelets."
As for the abortion issue...Yes women used to get abortions in back alleys and it was dangerous. If he becomes President and stops all abortions, women will go back to the alleys like before. Is that what he really wants?
What a DICK.

News Letter From Brian Brown

Because I really enjoy going to the oppositions websites and send edited letters from them, I have the pleasure of receiving their newsletters.  It keeps me up on what they are doing as well as questionable info like this.

Dear Barbara,
Looking back at the past week, I am overwhelmed by the generosity of Americans like you who are willing to stand up in defense of marriage. I can't thank you enough for your generous support. We successfully raised over $100,000 in just 7 days to help fund the appeal of last week's ruling striking down California's Proposition 8.
As of Monday morning, we had raised just over $40,000. But I was confident that we would hit our $100,000 goal because every time we have needed the means to defend marriage, God has provided and our supporters have stepped up.
Your response in the final 48 hours of our Prop 8 drive was simply overwhelming—almost 1,000 of you responded, donating over $60,000 in just 2 days, including someone who generously made a major gift to put us well past our goal!
Thank you.
One of those things that make you go hummmmmmm. That is a pile of cash in a short time.
It is huge gifts like this that they DON'T want us to know where it came from and they are fighting across the country to keep from the public. They have been ordered by the courts several times to make public the list of donations over $5000 to their PACs in several states but so far...nothing. Including putting anyone in jail for failure to obey the order.
It has been hinted that the Catholic Church has been a huge backer. That would be a No No for the tax exempt church. HUMMMMMMMM.

The Earth-Sized Tornado Moving Across The Sun At 300,000 Miles Per Hour

And you thought “Twister” was bad! Last week, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite captured these stunning images of magnetically captured plasma moving like a tornado across the sun's surface. But even more stunning than this video of the solar tornado are its statistics: it's estimated to be about as large as Earth itself, with wind gusts approaching 300,000 mph and a temperature of 15,000 degrees fahrenheit. Uh… wow.

BREAKING: DOJ Won't Defend Laws That Block Benefits For Gay Military Couples

Fresh from joemygod.com

Talking Points Memo has a major scoop from the DOJ.
The Obama Justice Department has concluded that legislation banning same-sex couples from receiving military and veterans benefits violates the equal protection component of the Fifth Amendment and will no longer defend the statute in court, Attorney General Eric Holder wrote in a letter to Congressional leaders on Friday.

“The legislative record of these provisions contains no rationale for providing veterans’ benefits to opposite-sex couples of veterans but not to legally married same-sex spouses of veterans,” Holder wrote. “Neither the Department of Defense nor the Department of Veterans Affairs identified any justifications for that distinction that would warrant treating these provisions differently from Section 3 of DOMA.”
Obviously this latest move will cause an immediate firestorm of condemnation and wailing from the enemies of civil equality. HURRAY!

Christie Vetos Equal Marriage

We knew it was going to happen but it is depressing none the less.
 All the major Orgs. are chiming in on what a shame it is to ditch good families in New Jersey.
Christie is an ass for doing this and will go down in history as one.
Shame on him.

Maryland Just Voted YES to Equal Marriage!!

Oh my goodness! I have been listening all day and it should be close.

The cheering that erupted kept me from hearing the final tally but I believe it was 71 to 67.

Now it goes to the state Senate....if it passes then.....
It will go to the Gov. desk and will be signed into law. !



Maryland Vote so Far

The opposition wanted to attach a bunch of amendments to the equal marriage bill. Most of them were to stall for time and were BS. All the BS was turned down and so was placing it as a referendum right away.
Because of all the amendments having to be reviewed, the vote will not take place until sometime after 4:30 today. Click here to listen.

Really Gov. Christie? This is your team?

Via Yotuber LukeTVNow we get a good glimpse of what went down at the anti-gay protest that NOM and NY State Sen. Ruben Díaz led outside of the New Jersey Statehouse:

Stopping fairly-passed civil marriage in order to satisfy the faith-based condemnations of a shrinking few? Please, Gov. Christie: Don't perpetuate that crude Jersey joke!

Blessed Be to that !!!

Constitutional Logic 101

From Filed By Bil Browning  at Bilerico.com comes this piece of logic.

David Mixner shared this graphic his niece made on Facebook and the logic behind it is infallible. This should become one of our most regularly used arguments.
