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.

| Feel free to blogwhore and post news in the comments...
* You have to visit Kevin Kaatz's pad for his scoop and research on this outrage -- Americans for Truth, Americans for Truth about Homosexuality -- yes, Porno Pete's organization -- is listed as a gay advocacy non-profit. I didn't realize that the actual name for Americans for Truth is Americans for Truth about Homosexuality. I suppose that is what AFTAH stands for, but why don't they put their full title in their website? I think when this group is mentioned the full legal title should be used. What also really made me angry is that when I looked this organization up in GuideStar (a source of information about non-profit organizations), their 'National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities,' code is R26--Lesbian/Gay Rights. These NTEE codes are used to help people search for non-profit organizations. And get this--this code of R26 is used for "R20 Civil Rights, Advocacy for Specific Groups"! So Americans for Truth about Homosexuality claim to be a civil rights group for lesbians and gays! Guidestar and Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy responded to Kevin, saying that "The codes are selected by either the organizations themselves or by the IRS." How can LaBarbera maintain his organization's tax-exempt status in this manner? Go read the rest.
* Northern Mexican state of Coahuila approves law recognizing gay unions. More positive movement south of the border. Coahuila Gov. Humberto Moreira, is expected to sign the bill into law. This follows Mexico City assembly's passage of a similar measure -- the first in the country to do so. Needless to say, the Catholic bishops there are losing their cookies. (H/t, Richard)
* The Dem alphabet soup caves: DNC, DSCC, DCCC, DGA add their non-discrimination policies to their web sites, after Mike Rogers turned up the heat on them. The Democratic National Committee, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Governor's Association were forced to stop hiding and do the right thing. Look at the delusional behavior by the DNC. Mike: Not only did the party appear to be hiding its non-discrimination clause from the public, but also an individual calling the DNC about applying for a job was refused a copy of the policy. "Unbelievable," I thought.
"We do not post any personnel policies on our website," I was told back in April and again this week. "This is not a personnel policy, it's a public statement," I explained to each person at the DNC I spoke with. Non-discrimination statements not only serve to educate perspective employees, but also are an important signal to other political organizations and companies. Mike kept up the pressure, asking whose decision it was to omit the policy. Only a day or so later, the policy was online. Thanks, Mike. :)
More this and that after the flip.. |
| Pam Spaulding :: Saturday this and that |
| * Yesterday I had lunch with EqualityNC's Executive Director Ian Palmquist and Director of Development Kay Flaminio. The statewide advocacy organization accomplished a lot in the Tar Heel state last year, which included lobbying with our legislators in the Democrat-controlled legislature to kill an marriage amendment bill in committee for the third straight year. They are looking forward to the next General Assembly session to hopefully make some headway on proactive issues, particularly to get a law on the books to protect state workers from discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. It's not going to be easy, by any stretch of the imagination, but we've seen continual progress all around the state. It's important, particularly in Red and Red-Purple state to support your local equality organizations because we can't count on the national ones to fight the fight for us.
* Yet another Colorado minister falls from grace -- only this is about as far as you can fall -- this youth minister was found dead in his home Tuesday, after an arrest the day before on allegations that he sexually assaulted two girls. (H/t KT)
* While on the matter of church leaders on the wrong side of the law, HDBiker passed on this story about an Ohio church youth leader sentenced to nine years in the clink for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl.
* In NYC tomorrow, at the Brooklyn Museum, there's going to be panel discussion sponsored by WNYC, Looking for Martin: Are Dr. King and His 'Dream' Still Relevant? The three hour event (4-7PM) also promises an afternoon of conversation, poetry and song exploring how Dr. King's message translates to people of all ages and races -- and the LGBT community -- today.
* And this is at the edge of sanity -- I'll let Blender Laurel share it. Just wondering if you were aware of this org http://www.eggandsperm.org/. They are concerned that lesbian couples are going to mix genes and procreate *wthout* sperm. Can't you feel the author's dick just shrivel? His name is John Howard, and he's got some weird notions about how SSM gives license to lesbians to procreate this way. His comments are all over BMG, rarely in an appropriate diary, and never making sense. He contradicts himself so frequently and has so many incorrect assumptions that it is difficult to construct a reply (I shouldn;t encourage him by replying, but couldn't resist seeing what he'd say). Really, Pete LaBarbera is a amateur profit hound compared to this true blue wingnut. This ridiculous person has turned up on the John Edwards blog and on Blue Mass Group. I guess we should expect gay space alien theories next. |
