Changing Attitudes toward the LGBT Community in America
Not that any of my friends feel this way, but I’ve seen comments on various threads lately saying things like “I support Chik-fil-A because, like most Americans, I don’t like gay marriage either.” To those ignorant fools I say, believe what you will, but according to a recent study sponsored by CNN and conducted by…

Goodbye Exxon! NOM Gets the Facts Wrong… Again.
A friend commented on NOM’s Facebook post this morning, where they praised Exxon’s decision to remain “only major oil company to uphold the values of a majority of Americans.” First of all, wrong again NOM!

“Save the children! Cartoons are getting gay married!” – NOM
Ok, they didn’t put it exactly that way but that’s essentially what today’s post from the National Organization for Marriage protests.

Christ Just Can’t Get a Break on Broadway
I’m sure it is nothing. Maybe just happenstance… an unexpected alignment in the universe… if anything, but this year’s confluence of Christian influenced (I’d be pressed to say “themed”) Broadway musicals have had a rough few days.
