Poll: Muslims Are More Tolerant Of Gay Marriage Than Evangelical Christians Are (IMAGE/VIDEO)

"...A poll released on Wednesday by the Public Religion Research Institute found that there is a huge religious divide when it comes to feelings about marriage equality. That’s not a surprise. What may be a surprise, though, are the number of religious people who are not bigoted..."

Michigan Oozes Closer To Adoption Discrimination Against Same-Sex Couples

"...Michigan took one more baby step toward same-sex discrimination, Wednesday, when it approved three bills in the State Senate that will allow faith-based adoption agencies to refuse to work with same-sex couples, or whoever else they may deem counter to their belief system. Faith-based bigots have also worked out in the bills that agencies that begin actually discriminating and refusing service to same-sex couples could not be refused a license or funding by the state for their moral ineptitude..."

How The Right Keeps Us Stupid: Bobby Jindal’s Budget Slashes College Funding By 82 Percent

"...Like its conservative counterpart in Kansas, Louisiana’s experiment with conservative economics has led to a financial crisis of baffling proportions. Led by its perpetual bad idea machine, Governor Bobby Jindal, the state has almost no semblance of an economy and now is struggling to keep even basic services funded. Given the dire straits, it’s absolutely no surprise that one of the first things up to the chopping block is higher education..."

Why the American Family Needs Same-Sex Parents

...The recent events in Indiana and Arkansas prove that a Supreme Court decision bringing marriage for same-sex couples to all parts of the nation won't end political conflict associated with LGBT rights. But it will improve America's families. The nation will have more married couples, more kids with married parents, and more stable homes and families for the country's most vulnerable children. It's hard to understand how that could ever be a bad thing...

Deconstructing Marriage

"William Lane Craig... whatever are we going to do with him? His analysis of the gay marriage debate is disappointing to say the least. Apparently:

1. Banning gay marriage is not discriminatory.
2. There is no such thing as gay marriage.
3. Marriage has an "essence".

On point #3, I would like to remind Christians that marriage's Christian "essence" has already been tainted: atheists can get married. Where's all your outrage about *this*?"
