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.

Bernice King

Yolanda King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., passes away

One can't ignore the irony and juxtaposition of this news to yesterday's regarding Jerry Falwell. (AP):
Yolanda Denise King, daughter and eldest child of civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., has died, said Steve Klein, a spokesman for the King Center. King died late Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., at age 51. Klein said the family did not know the cause of death but that relatives think it might have been a heart problem.

The actor, speaker and producer was the founder and head of Higher Ground Productions, billed as a "gateway for inner peace, unity and global transformation." On her company's Web site, King described her mission as encouraging personal growth and positive social change.

King was also an author and advocate for peace and nonviolence, and held memberships in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference - which her father co-founded in 1957 - and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Her death comes more than a year after the death of her mother, Coretta Scott King.

..."We must keep reaching across the table and, in the tradition of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, feed each other," King said

Yolanda King, like her mother Coretta Scott King, supported gay rights, including marriage equality. In 2005, she presented Equality California's Gavin Newsom Visionary Award to the NAACP for its support of the Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act.

Unfortunately her younger sister, the Reverend Bernice King, co-organized a march in Atlanta in 2004 with homophobe Bishop Eddie Long of the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in support of a constitutional amendment to bar gays and lesbians from marrying. Of her father, Bernice speculated: "I know deep down in my sanctified soul that he did not take a bullet for same-sex unions."

In her immediate family, Yolanda King is survived by Bernice, her two brothers, Martin Luther King III (a supporter of LGBT equality: "Homophobia is hate, and hate has no place in the beloved community.") and Dexter Scott King. Here is an interesting article from Science of Mind magazine on Yolanda King's non-traditional spiritual journey.

Yolanda King at the 2006 Out & Equal Workplace Summit in Chicago:

In the 1950s and 60s, African-American men and women made some choices--often dangerous ones--and they were joined by men and women of goodwill, gay and straight, from all races and backgrounds, and together, tremedous progress was made toward the betterment of our nation.

The civil rights movement served as the inspiration and paved the way for all the movements for human rights which followed it--the women's movement, the peace movement, and, of course, the rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans.

We have come a long way. And while the scars and stains of racism remain, the fact is, racial discrimination is no longer legal. However, discrimination under the rule of law still exists. If you are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, you do not have the same rights as other Americans. You cannot marry. And while there has been some progress, thanks to the work this organization [Out & Equal Workplace Advocates] in the workplace, you still face discrimination in the workplace, and in our armed forces. For a nation that prides itself on liberty, justice and equaity for all, this it totally unacceptable.
