Via AmericablogGay: Anti-gay leader in Iowa is a birther

Big shock that an anti-gay religious right leader is also a fan of racist theories about African-Americans (they were all born in Kenya, you know).  I am intrigued, however, that this family values leader looks all about 12.  I know lots of gay men who come off far younger than their age, but not a lot of straight men.  I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Today in WTFland: American Family Association: The First Amendment Only Applies To Christians


"The First Amendment was written neither to guarantee freedom of religion to Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus nor to prohibit their free exercise of religion. It wasn’t written about them one way or another. It was written for one specific purpose: to protect the free exercise of the Christian religion. We must be clear: the First Amendment does not prohibit the free exercise of alternative religions, but neither does it guarantee it. It simply does not address the issue at all." - American Family Association spokesman and national radio host Bryan Fischer.

Via JMG: New York Episcopal Bishop Orders Gay Clergy To Marry Their Partners


That's a headline you probably didn't expect.
Long Island Episcopal Bishop Lawrence Provenzano has put his foot down against gay clergy who residing in homosexual relationships, and has given a nine month deadline for them to either get married or stop living together, according to the News Observer. “I need to be mindful that the church has always asked people to live in committed monogamous, faithful relationships. I won’t allow heterosexual clergy to live in a rectory or church housing without the benefit of marriage. When one puts it in that context, then you see how it all begins to make sense,” said Provenzano. Reverend Christopher Hofer, pastor of the Episcopal Church of St. Jude agrees with Provenzano, “I think his statement was not only fair, but beyond generous. It gives people time, acknowledging that there’s a financial component involved and recognizing that some may not choose to live together.

Via Bilerico: Worst. Yard Sale. Ever

After posting an ad on Craigslist for a yard sale in northern Virginia, yard-sale.jpga woman sent an e-mail to people inquiring about some of the items for sale. Instead of answering each one separately, she put a bunch of photos on Facebook and sent a mass e-mail to respondents telling them they could see the second hand goods there.

One slight problem - no gays, Muslims or "illegal immigrants" need show up; she won't sell her stuff to you.

Make the jump here to see the woman's e-mail and her response to a pissed off potential customer
