[Regarding a gay couple being allowed to marry in the Argentine province of Tierra del Fuego:]
“The decision took me by surprise and I’m concerned,” Bishop Juan Carlos, of the southern city of Rio Gallegos, told the Argentine news agency DyN. He called the marriage “an attack against the survival of the human species.”
[Regarding an (apparently) muslim cabbie who denied service to a gay couple for hugging in his cab:]
He’s the one who should be kicked out, out of America! This isn’t the desert this rag-head crawled out of. Better yet, let’s deep fry this bitch and his filthy family in pork fat and then flush him down the toilet at the Ramrod! Then he can go play checkers with mohammad (PISS be upon him)!!!
[regarding a public hearing on the DC's marriage equality bill]
Nearly 100 witnesses and more than seven hours later, Ernestine Copeland, an opponent of same-sex marriage, ended the first day of the hearing at 10:58, asking, “Who among you would allow your male dog to lie with a male dog?” She harangued the Council for deciding “to lead my people to hell” by supporting same-sex marriages which “will destroy our society.”
There can be no viler act, apart from homosexuality and sodomy, than sexually abusing innocent children
(Titusville, Florida) A co-chair of Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign in Florida has been busted for trying to pick up an undercover male police officer.
State Rep. Bob Allen (R), a foe of LGBT rights in Florida, is charged with offering the cop $20 for oral sex in a washroom at Veteran's Memorial Park in Titusville.
Police said that Allen, 48, was seen coming in and out of a restroom three times before approaching the officer.
Allen has been charged with solicitation for prostitution, which has a maximum penalty of one year in jail.
The state lawmaker is one of six co-chairs of McCain's Florida campaign. Allen posted a $500 bond and was released pending trial.
Ironically in the last session of the Florida legislature he sponsored a failed bill that would have tightened the state's prohibition on public sex. He also has been a supporter of amending the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage and has opposed a bill to curb bullying of gay students.
In a week's time Florida voters will be electing a new governor to replace Jeb Bush (R) and with polls showing Republican Charlie Crist strongly head of Democrat Jim Davis all eyes were on the final debate between the two and independent candidate Max Linn. [...]
Crist, (pictured) who currently is Attorney General and who has dogged suggestions throughout the campaign that he is gay, had one of the more unusual reasons for opposing same-sex marriage, saying marriage is a "sacred" relationship - "like I had, before I got divorced." [Emphasis added]
