The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."
He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior."
(CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)
Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego)."Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:
A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)
"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)
Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

| Reactions abound to the great news that the governor, as promised, signed into law that separate is not equal.
New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition: Governor John Lynch signed legislation that will give the legal protections of marriage to gay and lesbian couples in New Hampshire. Acting swiftly and decisively, Governor Lynch signed the legislation only an hour after the legislature took the final vote on the issue.
"Today is a historic day for all Granite Staters," said Mo Baxley, executive director of the New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition. "We applaud Governor Lynch, Speaker Norelli, President Larsen and the leadership of the General Court for making sure that all loving, committed couples have the freedom to marry. Today, our shared values of individual liberty, freedom, and fairness have been upheld."
New Hampshire is now the 6th state in the United States to extend the freedom to marry to gay and lesbian couples. This new law will go into effect on January 1, 2010. HRC: "With Gov. Lynch signing legislation passed by the state Senate and House, New Hampshire has become the latest state to recognize that loving, committed couples, and their families, should receive equal rights and responsibilities," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. "No religious institution will have to recognize any marriage under this law, as the language proposed by Gov. Lynch and agreed to by the legislature made abundantly clear."
The Human Rights Campaign salutes the work of key state groups and leaders, including: Gov. John Lynch, Senate President Sylvia Larsen, Senate Majority Leader Maggie Hassan, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Deb Reynolds, House Speaker Terie Norelli and Representatives Jim Splaine, Ed Butler, Paul McEachern, Barbara Richardson, New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition, MassEquality, GLAD, and the many activists, including HRC members, who have been working to build support for this legislation, and the majority of New Hampshire voters who support marriage equality.
"When the National Organization for Marriage [a group opposed to marriage equality] started making $50,000 ad buys in New Hampshire, I put out a call for help and HRC answered. We could not have done this without them," said Mo Baxley, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition. Freedom to Marry:"New Hampshire has now become the third state to move past civil unions to marriage, recognizing that there is no substitute for the freedom to marry and equality for all," said Evan Wolfson, executive director of Freedom to Marry and author of Why Marriage Matters: America, Equality and Gay People's Right to Marry. "And Governor Lynch has become the latest moderate elected official to move to support the freedom to marry, providing a good example to, and continuing momentum for, the legislators now considering marriage bills in states such as New York and New Jersey." National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Rea Carey:"Clearly this is a momentous day for New Hampshire - a state that holds individual liberty and fairness as core values - as well as the entire country. Once again, after careful consideration, another state has concluded that denying the fundamental freedom to marry does not protect anyone; it simply places more families in harm's way and makes them more vulnerable to hardship. The marriage victories in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, Maine - and now New Hampshire - affirm the national momentum building for marriage equality.
"We salute Gov. John Lynch and the New Hampshire legislature for supporting this critical measure, and we extend our heartfelt thanks to the New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition and GLAD for their hard work and tireless advocacy to make marriage equality a reality in New Hampshire." GLAAD: "Gov. Lynch's signing of the marriage equality bill grants legal protections for same-sex couples in New Hampshire to take care of and be responsible for each other," said GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano. "As people get to know the loving and committed couples at the heart of marriage equality, our culture is moving to equality."
"GLAAD congratulates and expresses our deepest appreciation to the New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition and the courageous couples whose personal stories and work for fair and equal treatment under the law culminated in today's signing," Giuliano said. |
