I can’t come up with a headline to do this justice. I had to stop to blog something I just discovered: a $50,000 donation to one of Gary Bauer’s anti-gay PACs. Base8 entry says it all:

Oh, the irony! The supreme hypocrisy! The scumbagginess! He plops fifty grand down to defend the world against loving, monogamous gay couples — and he’s Octomom Nadya Suleman’s lawyer!
Toxomom has received nothing but well-deserved national vilification for her repulsive attempt to turn the circumstances of her disgusting little experiment into “opportunities” to support her in a lifetime of easy living.
I guess the only Plan B she’s got left is to reveal the name of the spermdonor. A man who should certainly be responsible for the kids he agreed to procreate, if not for the ones he had not agreed to.
And what about making the sociopath of a doctor who was instrumental in this monstrously unconscionable act?
And finally what about Jeff Czech? A supposed advocate for the children who gets a percentage of every dollar they make. And a Christian Fundamentalist Marriage supporter who makes his buck off the backs of in-vitro fatherless babies by the dozen plus.
The Pride of Orange County, that one.
Who is going to haul his inept whatever into some legal organization that oversees the lack of ethics so shoddily dealt?
(Actually, he’s out of San Diego County, but “ICanHas” is right about everything else.)
AMERICANS UNITED TO PRESERVE MARRIAGE (ANTI-GAY) Jeffrey Czech Self Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670 08/25/2008 - $50,000.00
Too busy with Base8 to even breath lately, but had to stop and pass this along. If you were ever on the fence about pulling your money out of Citibank, this should put you over the top:
The New Jersey Senate Jan. 7 voted down “The Freedom of Religion and Equality in Civil Marriage Act,” the bill that — if signed by Gov. John Corzine — would have made the Garden State the sixth state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage.
After hours of debate, the Senate saw an end vote of 20 against, and 14 for. There were 4 abstentions and 2 senators absent.
Garden State Equality, the grassroots organization fighting for same-sex marriage in the state, aim to continue the fight. …
Prior to the vote, the Senate heard remarks from Senator Sandra Cunningham (D). A descendant of African American slaves, Cunningham detailed America’s “history of inequity for black people” and said, “I cannot in good conscience not support anyone’s fight… to have a kind of life that we all want to have.
“All of us have a right to dignity, a right to love, and a right to respect.”
A bill to establish a statewide day honoring slain former San Francisco city supervisor and gay civil rights leader Harvey Milk is headed to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s desk. …
A1. Bragging that you’re cheating on your wife with two other women, then saying it was all “just talk,” dragging one of your so-called conquests through the mud along with you; or:
A2. Listening to one of your cohorts, who’s on the Committee on Utilities and Commerce, brag about cheating on his wife with two other women, one of of whom is a utilities lobbyist, and and not reporting the conversation, especially when both of you are on the Assembly Ethics Committee.
Poor Brian Brown. It has not been a good week for him and his Mormon front group, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM).
With two more states (Maine and Iowa) considering investigations of his organization for improper reporting of campaign contributions and money laundering, plus the on-going ten month investigation by the California Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC Case #08-735), Brian went on the offensive on Friday and sent out the email below to all his supporters and the media.
LOS ANGELES — September 9, 2009 — After California Assemblyman Michael Duvall (R-Orange County) was caught making obscene boasts about sex with married lobbyists on a live microphone in committee meeting, the 700,000-member Courage Campaign called on Attorney General Jerry Brown to investigate.
Or, at least, on a hot mic, describing the lurid details (details so lurid, even we won’t repeat them here) of his affairs with two female married lobbyists.
“One works for a firm which represents utility companies,” notes KCAL — which is no small detail: Duvall was the vice chair of the Committee on Utilities and Commerce, which oversees regulation of public utilities in California. You don’t have to be psychic to see an ethics probe in Duvall’s future!
While we put together Duvall’s inevitable entry for the Conservative Babylon Hall of Shame, get a load of the report from KCAL-9 in L.A., below.
Of course, to hear her tell it, she was fired for — gasp! — being a Christian. Oh, poor little persecuted martyr! Jesus, Mary, and Carrie Prejean, whatever shall we do???
One Life to Live actress Patricia Mauceri says she was axed from the soap earlier this year because her religious beliefs were at odds with a planned gay story line.
The actress tells Fox News it wasn’t the gay plotline she objected to, but rather her character’s handling of the issue. A devout Christian, Mauceri says she objected to the way the writers wanted her character — a deeply religious, Latina mother — to react to her son coming out of the closet.
Mauceri says it was those objections that got her fired — she says her character would not have been accepting. …
Mauceri says she is exploring her legal options.
Your “legal options”? You either do your job as you’re told, or you get sacked — or you quit. That’s the way it works in the real world, Missy.
Letter Sent to Maine Election Officials Warning of Money Laundering by National Organization for Marriage (NOM) & Others
LOS ANGELES, CA / AUGUSTA, ME — August 13, 2009 — Californians Against Hate founder Fred Karger sent a letter today warning top Maine election officials of possible money laundering by opponents of same-sex marriage.
The organization trying to overturn Maine’s same-sex marriage law, Stand for Marriage PAC recently turned in 100,000 signatures to place the question on the November ballot. These gay marriage foes hope to repeal LD 1020 — the law passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor allowing same-sex marriage in Maine.
Of the $343,689.50 raised to pay the Brighton, Michigan-based National Petition Management, Inc. to collect the signatures, only $400, or a mere .001 of that total came from individuals. The remaining $343,289.50 was given by various religious organizations and James Dobson’s Focus on the Family. The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) gave nearly half of that total, $160,000. The remainder came from Catholic organizations ($150,000) and James Dobson’s Focus on the Family ($31,000).
“It sure looks like they are trying to hide the donors in their latest effort to strip away marriage equality,” said Fred Karger. “There is no way these organizations like NOM and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland had all this money sitting in their treasuries (except for possibly Focus on the Family). They went out and raised it expressly for this campaign. It’s very expensive to hire these signature gathering firms to collect 100,000 signatures in a short period of time.”
We’ve been hearing the rumors (and so have many of you, judging by the number of Google queries for “Doug Manchester” and “divorce” we’ve been getting for months), and now we have the facts: Doug Manchester — the hotelier who donated a whopping $125,000 to Proposition 8, who has been suffering the backlash via a boycott of his properties (by gay folks and union workers and lawyers and other groups who don’t cotton to propping up the bigot brigades with their hard-earned money) for more than a year (and he is suffering), and who tried to buy off the LGBT community with a token donation to HRC (which was rejected; well done, HRC) and hotel credits for queers — is getting a D-I-V-O-R-C-E from his wife (and $1,000 Prop H8 donor), Elizabeth:
…has reversed its decision to sponsor a Rhode Island rally held by a U.S. group that opposes same-sex marriage, after encountering fierce criticism for the move.
The August 16 event, organized by the National Organization for Marriage, is billed as a “Celebrate Marriage & Family Day.” Held in suburban Providence, the rally is to include speeches, a cookout and a ceremony in which married couples are invited to renew their vows. …
In a flyer for the event, Tim Hortons was listed as a sponsor, and was promptly criticized. …
In his Advocate piece, “Was Obama a One-Night Stand?,” Dan Savage swings and misses as many times as he hits — but when he connects, it’s a solid thwock! of leather against ash.
But when he misses, he misses by a mile.
Give it a read, and then come back and see if you wouldn’t call the same strikes I do.
“We aren’t supposed to talk about religion, but it was a Mormon that tied Matthew Shepard to a fence, a Baptist who beat him to death, and a Catholic (Rep. Foxx) who called it a hoax.”
The seaman being held in the brig of the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton charged with the death of a gay sailor was found unresponsive Friday, the ‘Houston Chronicle’ reported.
Petty Officer Jonathan Campos was charged last month with the death of August Provost, a gay sailor found dead on June 30 in a Camp Pendleton guard shack near San Diego. …
Campos was taken into custody on July 1 but military prosecutors officially charged with him the death of Provost last week.

Refugee tells stunned audience that soldiers detained, executed gay civilians
A fundraising event to benefit an LGBT community center in Lebanon last week took a surprise turn when stunned audience members were shown graphic photographs of beheaded corpses and images purportedly depicting U.S. soldiers preparing to execute gay Iraqis.
Two gay Iraqi refugees, who declined to use their real names, delivered a presentation at the Human Rights Campaign headquarters July 24 in which they detailed alleged abuses of fellow gay Iraqis while calling on their audience to donate funds to Helem, a Lebanon-based center that works to address the plight of LGBT people in the Middle East.
One of the Iraqis, who goes by the name “Hussam,” showed the audience of about 80 people gruesome images, including shots allegedly of a beheaded man who was gay and another of the victim’s twin brother grieving over the severed head.
While asserting that anti-gay violence in Iraq is often committed by Iraqis, Hussam also said U.S. service members were involved in anti-gay hostility. …
A hysterical Anti-Gay, whose hateful blog I won’t link to, hysteriamongering over the disclosure of signatories to the petition for Washington state’s anti-marriage equality Referendum 71, asks the stupid question:
“Can you imagine the outrage from Gay Activists should backers of California’s Proposition 8 demand the names and addresses of all who sign the petition against Proposition 8 to be made available for public scrutiny on a searchable internet site?”
OK by me, chucklehead. Unlike the cowardly bunch of bigots screaming to keep their names hidden, I have no need to hide my face under a white hood.
Meet Santa Barbara City Councilmember Dale Francisco — the “lone Republican on the city council” — who helped murder civil rights in California with his $200.00 donation to Proposition 8 (in contrast to the vast majority of his constituents who voted against H8).
