Old French Bigot Kills Himself at Notre Dame
A far-right writer in France was apparently so upset about the legalization of same-sex marriage in that country that he decided to kill himself — at the altar at the Notre Dame cathedral, for crying out loud.

Texas Judge Uses ‘Morality Clause’ to Split Up Couple
Here’s another appalling case of a judge using a divorce or custody agreement to punish someone just for being gay. A Texas judge is ordering a mother’s lesbian partner to move out of the home they share because of a morality clause that he inserted into the woman’s divorce decree.

Poor Wingnut’s Heart Breaks Over Marriage Equality
The Minnesota House of Representatives passed a bill to make marriage equality the law in that state on Thursday and the wingnuts are losing their minds over it. It actually reduced one Republican legislator to tears, which she attributes to an entirely fake reason:

Brown Continues to Play Pretend
One thing I find endlessly amusing about Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage is his ability to bury his head in the sand — or up his ass — and continue to pretend that a majority of Americans are opposed to marriage equality.

Buehner and Swanson Explain The Gay
Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner of Generations Radio are so far out on the lunatic fringe that John Hagee must envy them. On a show last week, they gave their utterly simplistic and offensive explanation for why people choose to become gay. I’m sure this will all sound familiar to you:

Fischer Doubles Down on Ferguson’s Bigotry
Niall Ferguson may be apologizing furiously for his idiotic comments about John Maynard Keynes not caring about the future because he was gay, but Bryan Fischer is piking up that ball and running with it.

Wingnut Imagines a Conservative ‘New Majority’
Wallace Henley has an “exclusive” column in the Christian Post — like the Worldnutdaily, by “exclusive” the Post seems to mean something so mind-numbingly idiotic that no one else would publish it — fantasizing about a “new majority” that steamroll both political parties in the name of anti-gay bigotry and anti-woman policies.

Archbishop Makes Terrible Anti-Equality Argument
Salvatore Cordileone, the archbishop of San Francisco, is beside himself over the state of Rhode Island becoming the 10th state to legalize same-sex marriage. And he’s offering a transparently ridiculous argument in opposition to it. This is just staggeringly stupid and hypocritical:
