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.

Rev. Jide Macaulay is a gay Nigerian theologian, the winner of the 2007 Black LGBT Community Awards UK Man of the Year award (an award he deserved many times over) and someone for whom I have the utmost respect and admiration. In mid-2006 he was sent from my former church, MCC North London, to found House of Rainbow MCC, Nigeria's first LGBT church, in Lagos, the country's largest city and former capital. Consequently Jide has become a major figure in Nigeria's gay rights movement, in direct opposition to not only the infamous Archbishop Akinola, the country's Anglican Primate, but also his own father, another high-profile figure in the Nigerian church.
Jide recently posted a message on Facebook, asking for donations to allow House of Rainbow to work against a recently-introduced bill that would directly attack and discriminate against Nigeria's LGBT community. In Nigeria, the gay rights movement's energies are not focussed on gaining recognition of rights, protections and civil equality, but rather on avoiding further dehumanisation at the hands of the country's political leaders and its rabidly homophobic Christian and Muslim clerics:
Dear All,
I had a telephone meeting with Rev Elder Glenna Shepherd today.
As you know I continue to work with our congregation and LGBT community in Nigeria, since my incredible escape from harm and possible death, my home and worship space was vandalised and looted. We continue to support our congregation through prayers and community support locally..
I have been in touch with Nigeria and most of our members daily thanks to the freedom of the internet and have been able to make contributions and respond to the growing issues in Nigeria.
In December 2008, the Nigerian government introduce a tougher bill called the Same Gender Prohibition Bill 2008, this was more draconian than the 2006 bill which we worked very hard to defeat in 2007.
House Of Rainbow MCC in Nigeria serves as both as spiritual community and human right church, we have been involved in all matter of concerns against LGBT people and this made our church more vulnerable to attacks which led to our executive board taking a conscious decision to closed the church and my home for the safety of our members. Despite the closure we continue to grow in spirit and stature, we are now developing a vibrant internet ministry which will continue to partially meet the need of the people.
On the 9th February 2009, the Nigerian minister of justice addressed the United Nations Universal Peridoic Review assembly in Geneva and when asked by UK, Finland and Canada on the increasing abuses of LGBT people, the minister responded that there are no gays and lesbians in Nigeria and that every effort to locate gay people has not only drained resources but he can assure the assembly that there are no gays in the country. He said very little about the reasons for the introduction for the bill.
On the 11th February 2009, I convened a meeting of other LGBT Nigerians in London which was held at the City Hall cafe, we decided to represent the issues on behalf of Nigerian LGBT people in the Diaspora. We drafted a letter in response which was sent to the Senate leader Hon Beni Lar.
On the 18th to 20th February 2009, an urgent meeting of local LGBT people and allies in Nigeria was summoned in Minna Niger State Nigeria, House Of Rainbow MCC was able to get partial funding for our representative to attend, the meeting agreed to write a response to the government whilst waiting for the final reading of the bill which may become law.
We have now received information that there will be a Public debate hearing before the reading of the bill, whilst I appreciate that MCC is not a pressure group, it is important that MCC in Nigeria represent the issues of injustice against LGBT people, as these injustices are huge issues for our denomination where members of our community are seriously ostracise without protection of the rule of law.
I am now asking for MCC in Region 4 and other places to consider supporting the urgent need to get our representative to the next public hearing which will be on the 11th March 2009, the total cost of $550 or £350 include a return flight from Lagos to Abuja, airport transfers and two nights in a local hotel for one delegate.
We are also planning to mobilise as many LGBT people across the country to attend the hearing, additional support will be welcomed in all measures.
HOR representative will present a paper to the Senate stating our disagreement with the issues and how this affects the freedom of our community to freely assembly and join a religious association without fear of arrest and other harm.
I am writing to appeal to you, to please consider raising this matter in church, this weekend and possibly next weekend and raise funds to support the ground breaking work in Nigeria.
Please respond for banking details.
More grace more power
Rev Rowland Jide Macaulay
This is a short sermon that Jide placed on YouTube a week ago; It should tell you something about the kind of man he is.
Augustus Olakunle Macaulay founded the Bible university that trained his son in theology. He founded the evangelical ministry that ordained his son as a minister. And he is president of Nigeria's Association of Christian Theologians, which counts his son as a member.
But now Prof. Macaulay supports a proposed law that could criminalize his son's new Christian church and put him behind bars. That's because his son, the Rev. Rowland Jide Macaulay, has founded House of Rainbow, a church that caters to Nigeria's gay men and lesbians -- a first for Africa's most populous country.
The relationship between Prof. Macaulay and his son mirrors some of the conflicting forces buffeting homosexuals in Nigeria. Gay men and lesbians are becoming more visible, even as their society, which is hostile to homosexuality, threatens to become still less tolerant of them.
And check out this horrible "journalism" by the Nigerian outlet The PM News, "Inside Nigeria's First Gay Church: P.M.News Undercover Report":
A Bible reading by a member of the congregation follows, after which the head of the church, Reverend Jide Macaulay takes over to give the day's sermon. With his rough curls and bling studs, he looks more of a pimp than a winner of souls. But he has won souls-those of fellow faggots.
During ministration, he quotes copiously from the Bible, putting a spin on the passages to justify bi-sexuality and homosexuality, which the Bible condemns.
He maintains that being gay is totally acceptable in God's sight. In most of his ministrations, all he does is quote Bible verses to justify such sexual deviances.
