"If you're gay, lesbian, or bisexual, would you sacrifice for your trans neighbors and siblings? If you're trans, would you sacrifice for your gay, lesbian, or bisexual neighbors and siblings? It's something worth knowing about yourself and those around you." --Autumn Sandeen, 4/19/2010, the night before GetEQUAL's DADT repeal protest at the White House

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.

Dear Representatives Conyers, Frank, Murphy, Baldwin, Nadler, Sanchez, Honda, Stark, Christensen and Senators Merkley, Leahy, and Whitehouse,
We, the undersigned, wanted to take a moment during this Thanksgiving holiday season to express our appreciation.
Thank you for taking the lead on the important pieces of legislation that will grant protection and equality to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans and their families.
Our community has high expectations for this Congress. With clear Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress and a pro-equality President ready and willing to sign pro-equality legislation, this is a moment that must not be squandered.
Fortunately, elected officials like you have decided to stand up for your LGBT constituents.
With your sponsorship of the Matthew Shepard Act, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the Military Readiness Act, the Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act, the Respect of Marriage Act, the Uniting American Families Act, the Safe Schools Improvement Act, the Reuniting Families Act, the Every Child Deserves A Family Act, and your work to make health care reform LGBT inclusive, you will help the United States take steps closer to our founding promise of equality and justice for all.
On this Thanksgiving holiday, know that we're thankful for your leadership.
John McCain (R-AZ): John McCain has never been an ally of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. But last Thursday, McCain went out of his way to reiterate support for the unsuccessful -- and extremely unpopular -- "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that prohibits gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military.
During the confirmation hearing for a Department of Defense Undersecretary, McCain expressed his opposition to the potential repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and asserted that he believed the policy has been effective.
Jason Chaffetz (R-UT): Last Wednesday, November 18, was a busy day for the Republican Congressman from Utah's Third District. After voting against the Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act in the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Chaffetz spent his afternoon working to kill marriage equality in the District of Columbia. At a hearing on proposed changes to DC's Home Rule Act, Chaffetz used his alloted time to bash DC Mayor Adrian Fenty for the city's refusal to subject marriage equality to a ballot initiative, and pledged to interfere from Congress. So much for the Republicans being the party of small, local government.
The GOP "Purity Police": The ten members of the GOP who put together a proposed "Purity Resolution" may not be just one member of Congress, but they're "turkeys" all the same. In the midst of the turmoil over what the Republican Party should stand for, Republican leaders drew up a list of ten positions that they see as the heart of Republican ideology. Elected officials who demonstrate that they disagree with more than two of the provisions will lose financial support from the party. Of course, one of the tenants of sacred Republicanism is a fervent opposition to repealing the Defense of Marriage Act.
