Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX) president Gregory Quinlan is passing out pamphlets at the event, and he told ThinkProgress’ Scott Keyes that families “don’t have to accept” the “lifestyle” choice of homosexuality. He claimed the major Republican presidential candidates agree with his group’s assessment.

Quinlan also condemned efforts to reduce ant-gay bullying in schools, arguing that “the homosexual agenda has used bullying as a wedge issue” to “bully others to promote their lifestyle and to promote their political agenda”:

QUINLAN: They have taken the issue of bullying, misused it, misapplied it, and are now pushing it as a civil rights issue for the homosexual agenda, which I think is totally wrong and ignores the problem of bullying…it’s a political propaganda tool. […]

First the "gay mafia" and now gay fascists? I guess we'll have to cut a deal with the gay mafia in gay Sicily to help prepare the way for the liberation of gay Italy from gay fascists in gay WWII.

And this is where they lose me. Want to believe being gay is a sin? That's your right, I think that's wrong but opposing efforts to combat bullying gay kids in school? And homofascism is hilarious considering that the vast majority of gay people just want to be accepted and want asses like Quinlan to leave them the hell alone.

Then we'll have a gay cold war with the gay communists. Lots of gay!

Use the word fascist until it loses all meaning. Invoke Hitler until the horror is watered down. Repeat. Then have a mouthpiece walk it in wrapped in a flag and holding a holy book aloft as you call out the sinners and the sins, to a crowd rapt with the punishment to come. Not to them of course. The other sinners. Always the others.

Gay teens committing suicide because of bullying is a political tool?

Gay teens being murdered by bullies is a "wedge" issue?

These people are in need of something --and right now!

1. There's no such thing as an "ex-gay" person. Those are people who are in denial and who have allowed their religious guilt to force them back into the closet.

2. A supposed support group for "ex-gays" defending anti-gay bullying is the most fucked up thing I've read in ages. I can't even describe how insane that is.

America’s Top Colleges Have a Rich-Kid Problem - Jordan Weissmann - the Atlantic
In case you ever wondered just how much wealthy students dominate America's top colleges, here's a nice illustration from a new report by the Century Foundation. At the most selective schools in the country,* 70 percent of students come from the wealthiest quarter of U.S. families. Just 14 percent come from the poorest half. And while these statistics date back to 2006, I ...

Woolwich: a History of Violence
As shocking and appalling as Wednesdays brutal murder was, Woolwich (wool-ich) is a not so surprising location for such an attack. As someone pretty local to Woolwich, I thought I might give a little profile of the area, if anyone is interested. Woolwich is traditionally a military area, with the old Arsenal at its centre and the new barracks one of London's important military ...

E.W. Jackson sets the record straight; spoke as a minister, not a candidate
So all those crazy things he said can just be disregarded As Democrats and the media continue to hammer Virginia lieutenant governor hopeful E.W. Jackson for his past comments on social issues, the Christian minister says he is battling what he calls the “mainstream media’s caricature” of him. In an email sent to The Daily Caller this week, the running mate to Republican gubernatorial ...

THE ONLY SCANDAL THAT MATTERS TO ME: 8 MAN panel to decide the WOMEN’S health.
If you need further proof that Congressional Republicans are waging a War on Women, you need look no further than Thursday's congressional committee hearing on H.R. 1797: District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a bill sponsored by notoriously anti-choice Representative Trent Franks (R-AZ8) that would criminalize abortions after the 20th week. There are currently 98 women serving in the House of ...

Game Over for Obamacare Saboteurs?
The spoiler version is that out in California, where the state government and advocacy groups are actually interested in doing Obamacare right, things are looking pretty good. They're standing up their exchanges and it turns out premiums for basic bronze and more comprehensive silver health plans will actually come in lower than anticipated. This is almost unambiguously good news for Obamacare. You can ...

An Interplanetary GPS Using Pulsar Signals
Spacecraft could determine their position anywhere in the solar system to within five kilometres using signals from x-ray pulsars, say astronomers. Navigating in space is a tricky business. The usual method relies on Earth-based tracking stations to work out a spacecraft's distance using radio waves, a process that is accurate to within a metre or so. That's fine for the radial distance, but ...

4 Reasons ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ Is Secretly About Drugs
Nice, right? Anyway, here's my thesis: Raiders of the Lost Ark is not an action-adventure movie about an archaeologist who plays by his own rules and saves the day.

Is it true? Who cares. Can I prove ...
