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.

My Congresswoman, Rep. Susan Davis, spoke on the House Floor yesterday in strong support of a transgender inclusive ENDA. She spoke about my close friend Vicki Estrada, and how she avoided discrimination specifically because of California's trans-inclusive anti-discrimination laws.
Yet, with the debate was over, she ended up voting for the sexual orientation only version of ENDA -- even though pretty much all of San Diego's LGBT orgaizations have stated that they have preferred congresspeople voted against the less inclusive version of ENDA.
[My thoughts on San Diego's LGBT and progressive politics regarding ENDA after the break]
To be honest though, our congresspeople who supported transgender inclusion in ENDA were put in the untenable position of having to choose between voting for the first LGB employment bill to ever make it to the floor of the House, or voting against that bill because it wasn't T inclusive. The vote must have been a bittersweet one for some of our LGBT supportive members.
The Democratic Leadership in the House, the 1st term Blue Dog Democrats, and the HRC (who on their annual congressional LGBT voting scorecards are going to mark down any congressperson who didn't vote for the sexual orientation only version of ENDA, even if the reason a congressperson voted against the bill because it wasn't inclusive enough), were the ones who pushed this hard choice down all of our congresspeople's throats.
We have two years until the next version of ENDA comes before the House and Senate. Here in San Diego, one of TASC's activities will be to lobby for a fully inclusive ENDA to all of San Diego County's congresspeople, hopefully beside many of our LGBT organizations; hopefully beside organizations that have incorporated their transgender board members and employees within their lobbying schemas.
Frankly, transgender people and other progressives can't take it for granted anymore that our LGBT civil rights and non-profit organizations are going to be effective or consistent lobbyists on behalf of their transgender constituints --just look at how the HRC's position morphed over the course of a couple of months.
What my congresswoman said on the House Floor, and how my congresswoman voted -- well, these tell me that TASC and San Diego's other LGBT civil rights and non-profit organizations don't have to do too much work to change my congresswoman's heart on transgender inclusion, but we have a lot of work ahead of us on successfully influencing her vote on future versions of ENDA -- especially on the version of ENDA that's voted on in 2009.
