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.

According to the Michigan Messenger, the bill by State Rep. Pam Byrnes will face an uphill battle with her fellow lawmakers, particularly Dems up for election in 2010. Byrnes will make the formal announcement about the bill today during a Pride rally. "The time has come," Byrnes, the House speaker pro tem, said in an interview with Michigan Messenger, which first reported the lawmaker's plan on Friday afternoon. "I think attitudes are changing. We are seeing other states flip on this issue especially when you get the former Vice President Dick Cheney acknowledging same-sex marriages then I think we definitely see a change in attitude and it's time to revisit this."
A two-thirds majority in both legislative chambers is required in order to put the measure before Michigan voters. While the Democrats control the House, which would be more likely to pass Byrnes' bill, getting two-thirds of the Republican-controlled Senate would be highly more difficult. The head anti-gay in Michigan responsible for getting the marriage amendment on the ballot, Gary Glenn of the American Family Association of Michigan, is smugly confident that Byrnes's bill will go nowhere."In the unlikely event it ever does come up for a vote, we doubt it gets even a simple majority of the House voting in favor of overturning so recent a vote of the people," Glenn said in an email to Michigan Messenger. "It certainly will not get the two-thirds vote required to actually place it on the ballot. But it does make for high drama, as political theater goes, to announce such legislation during a homosexual 'rights' rally, even though it'll never see the light of day thereafter." The polls in Michigan still show only 46.5% support the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry. The bottom line, though, is if not now, when? It will never be a good time to overturn this because pols are always looking to cover their *sses. Michigan Equality agrees.Michelle Brown, co-director of Michigan Equality, said Byrnes' move was important, and would move the issue forward.
"If you don't ever start to talk about it, how will you ever be ready to talk about?" Brown said. "So to have someone in the legislature say: 'You know what, it's time we revisit it,' to me sort of says its a wake-up call for everybody that perhaps we all need to be listening to what the people of Michigan are saying." |
