There are two things that will never change in this world: 1) people will always have reasons to hate others, and 2) religions will always provide a way to make this exceedingly easy. Take the Mormon Church for example: they've been diligently working to ensure that gays and lesbians aren't allowed to marry out of the ridiculous notion that doing so "violates" the sanctity of marriage. Because of a few pass ...

I want to make something clear from the onset: yes, it's true if you're an evangelical Christian, it does not necessarily follow you personally support the maltreatment of gays around the world. However, and this is my main point, you are part of an institution whose views and opinions regarding homosexuality shape a culture of hatred and murder. You cannot escape this reality; any money, time and effort sp ...

You might recall a few months ago, a Ugandan tabloid called "Rolling Stone" published an article identifying a number of homosexuals in an attempt to entice violence. David Kato brought these homophobic bastards to court, and won. His victory, however, was short-lived, as his infamy in the country eventually led to his murder. David Kato, the advocacy officer for Sexual Minorities Uganda, was bludgeoned to ...

I'm exhausted with all the crazy bigotry and homophobia coming out of every conceivable Catholic institution. They simply refuse to accept the fact some human beings have a sexual attraction to members of the same gender. Of course, they all deny their obvious homophobia and assume it's society that has the problem, not them. Clearly, these aren't the kind of folks who are accustomed to accepting objective ...

Gay marriage will ruin families, don't you know? By allowing the same rights to homosexuals as their straight counter-parts, it'll create a slippery slope where mothers and fathers will abandon their families and follow some smelly hippy around who claims to be the son of man. ...

That vile family, the Westboros, continues its crusade to show the world just how insensitive and cruel they really are. Their next target is Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Presidential hopeful John Edwards. She died this week after fighting breast cancer for years, and because she fought hard for gay rights and had some harsh words for God following the death of her 16 year old son, the "little church t ...

Seems like every other day, the UN proves just how much it's willing to cater to the demands of irrational and prejudiced nations. The latest scandal involves 79 countries that have taken upon that have taken upon themselves the task of "eradicating" homosexuality. The step backwards in human rights was the amendment of a resolution against unlawful executions that removed gays from this prohibition. ...thi ...

You have to love Catholics: the more they are exposed as the homophobic, sexual predator harboring bigots they are, the more they go on the offensive, accusing everyone in sight of "discriminating" against them. The Vatican knows a good offense is the best defence (blood libel and the Crusades comes to mind here), and this is just them playing the old "blame game". It doesn't matter that the only ones actua ...

When you think of today's Republican party, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Some might say "less government regulation", or "opposition to homosexuality". One thing is for sure: few will deny the powerful collusion of the religious right in the policies and decisions the party makes. They know how important that base is, and they cater to it. In fact, if you want a perfect example of this, look n ...

Here's an ad campaign I can really get behind: the American Humanist Association is launching a huge campaign called "Consider Humanism". It's the largest atheist campaign so far, but keep in mind the total money raised so far is about 200,000 bucks. That's less than 10% of what the LDS church rounded up in order to prevent gays from having the same rights as other citizens. We still seem small fry compared ...
