Homosexuality

It didn't take long for The View's new co-hosts to start slamming Christians and conservatives. On the season premiere, Tuesday, Michelle Collins mocked the appearance of Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk jailed for refusing to issue gay marriage licenses. The recently-added host sneered that Davis is "my top candidate for 'this bitch got a man?'" 

There have been many conservatives coming to the defense of Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, but there is one unlikely supporter coming to her defense – Christopher Ciccone – otherwise known as Madonna’s brother, and who happens to be gay. Taking to his Facebook page, Ciccone believes Davis should be allowed the right to refuse…

Before Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis was jailed for sticking to her religious beliefs, Janell Ross of the Washington Post was quick to take sides against her. On September 2 the Post headlined the story as follows: “We Have Reached the George Wallace Stage of the Same-Sex Marriage Fight.” Ross begins this accusation with the same amount of objectivity as her headline.

At the top of Thursday’s CBS Evening News, anchor Scott Pelley proclaimed that the jailing of Rowan County, Kentucky Democratic Clerk Kim Davis “could be the last front in a losing battle against same-sex marriage” as she had been refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples since the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling legalizing gay marriage on June 26.

Actor Andrew Garfield, who after two films was dumped from his role as Spider-Man, lamented on Monday how broadly the films were promoted, sneering that he had to appeal to American "bigots." He complained of Sony's marketing for the comic book movies: "The pressure to get it right, to please everyone… it's not going to happen." 

Jeffrey Tayler of The Atlantic offered more of his anti-theist – and especially, anti-Catholic – vitriol in a Sunday item for the left-wing Salon. Tayler likened God to Don Corleone of The Godfather, and then spent most of his column ranting about how Pope Francis is akin to the fictional Mafia boss.  The atheist claimed that "Don Corleone could only have dreamed of committing crimes on the scale…

In March 2013, the Republican National Committee released what soon became known as the “autopsy report,” which looked at how the GOP might reverse trends that recently had caused the party to lose the popular vote for the fifth time in six presidential elections. Washington Monthly blogger Martin Longman believes that conservatives’ hostile response to the report’s big-tent ideas paved the way…

On Friday, Washington Monthly's Ed Kilgore and Kevin Drum of Mother Jones contended that the conservative war on political correctness is a tempest in a teapot, and that being politically correct is pretty much synonymous with not being a bigoted jerk.

Remember the days when there were just boys and girls? Thanks to liberals that ship has not sailed, but the Left is doing everything possible to make sure that ship burns and sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Now more than ever, it seems the gender and sexual identity movement is everywhere you turn. The growing trend has attracted more and more young people and pushes against anything…

Isn’t it ironic how liberals are the first ones to tell you how “bigoted” and “close-minded” conservatives are, but then they’re the first ones to bash individuals who think for themselves? The Washington Post should be commended for publishing an articulate op-ed Aug. 25 by  freshman Duke University student Brian Grasso, who explained his reasoning for refusing to read one book on his school’s…

La primera boda gay masiva ha puesto a todo el mundo de fiesta en Puerto Rico. O al menos esta es la conclusión a la que llegaría cualquiera que confíe y dependa de Univisión para recibir un servicio noticioso preciso.

The first mass gay wedding in Puerto Rico has everyone in party mode. Or at least that’s the conclusion anyone would come to if they trust and rely on Univision to provide them with accurate news.

The three Reconstruction Amendments to the Constitution were, as the term suggests, ratified in the wake of the Civil War. These days, according to Daily Kos writer Jon Perr, conservatives are generally OK with the anti-slavery 13th Amendment but have watered down the 15th, which abolished racial restrictions on voting, and reserve their “greatest and most visceral…scorn” for the 14th, as…

On Monday, Washington Post's "Civilities" columnist Steven Petrow criticized a reader's comparison between the LGBT rainbow flag and the Confederate battle flag. Petrow, the former president of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, asserted that "the history and symbolism of the two flags could not be more different; the responses they evoke — or provoke — even more disparate."…
