Pat Robertson and his 700 Club are none-too-happy about California’s queer-inclusive education measures and gay marriage push. At least they’re giving I-35 a break, huh?

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed an anti-discrimination bill into law earlier this year. That law says it’s unlawful for school’s to discriminate against and exclude gays from higher education. The move sparked conservative outcry of gay infiltration and a larger plot of “force fed” homosexuality.

Robertson concurs, saying it’s a recruitment effort. Trust us, Robertson, we’re not going to try to recruit you and your brethren, so just take a breather and relax.

Arianna Huffington’s new comedy website, 23/6 launched on a decidedly lavender note today. First came an uproarious imagined instant message between Rudy Giuliani and new pal Pat Robertson.

And then they unveiled the Richard Curtis-inspired Great American Beard-Off, a who’s who of more-than-just trophy wives. The 23/6 staffers don’t have a picture of Mrs. Curtis, but they place her beard rating at “Osama Bin Laden” because she knew what she allegedly knew about Curtis’ unsavory sexual habits.

Oh, Dina McGreevey got a shout-out, too. And, as hard as it is to believe, she comes out looking good.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews played Hardball with Pat Roberton’s Rudy Giuliani endorsement last night.

Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson came out for Rudy Giuliani today. Speaking at the National Press Club, religious righter Robertson said Giuliani’s the best Republican candidate. Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza gets down with the nitty-gritty: Robertson’s support was coveted by several of the leading Republican candidates and provides Giuliani with a major boost as the former New York City mayor seeks to convince social conservatives that, despite his positions supporting abortion rights and marriage for gay couples, he is an acceptable choice as the GOP nominee.
…
“I thought it was important for me to make it clear that Rudy Giuliani is more than acceptable to people of faith,” said Robertson. “Given the fractured nature of the … Continued…

The Ex-Gays are at it again. We just ran into Truth Wins Out’s Wayne Besen - welcome back to NYC, Wayne! - and he told us that Pat Robertson and his cronies will release a new “study” on the benefits of religion-based conversion.

Though it’s too early to know just how flawed the study will be, Besen’s skeptical: It comes as no shock that anti-gay ‘researchers’ at Wheaton College and Pat Robertson University would release a study that claims you can pray away the gay. I suppose their next study will provide support for Pat Robertson’s theory that homosexuality causes meteors and hurricanes.
…
This study may be a deceptive sham with the goal of making it … Continued…

Ed. note: Today’s installment of America’s Queer Liberty picks up where yesterday’s left off…

America’s plurality voting system limits voter’s options. With one man and one vote, the man or woman with the most votes wins an election, regardless of whether they receive a majority. In such an environment, voters tend to vote tactically. That is, they lean heavily in one direction or the other. There’s no middle ground.

The religious right’s well aware of this democratic flaw. Taking advantage of changing political tides, these “value voters” used tactical voting to elevate the GOP to heavenly heights - with hellish results.

Charlene Cothran’s been making new friends since disavowing her lesbianism and turning her fag-rag, Venus, into an ex-gay mouthpiece.

The controversial publisher just appeared on Pat Robertson’s The 700 Club to spread her good, no-longer-gay word. In addition to explaining her celibate lifestyle, Cothrene explains how she’s still involved in the gay rights movement. Instead of furthering gay visibility, acceptance and legal rights, however, Cothrene’s trying to convert the queers: My mission now is to educate and turn people away from the homosexual lifestyle simply by presenting the truth. We simple want to have people to question what they’ve learned through the pages of Venus over the last thirteen years.
We would love to ignore the first thirteen years of your career, Cothrene, but we’ve got this pesky thing called a conscience. It really gets in the way of selling out our queer comrades. Good thing “God” took yours when he “saved” you…

Watch the nauseating video, after the jump. Oh, and be sure to read Good As You’s dissection of the despicable Cothrene.

We get a sick thrill watching homophobes getting raked over the coals, so you can be sure we’re loving the fact that Pat Robertson’s in court after using bodybuilder Phillip Busch’s image to sell his protein shake.

Busch first ordered the allegedly age-defying bevvie - which Robertson peddles on his Christian Broadcasting Network - a few year ago and had tremendous results. To prove it, he sent Robertson some before and after pictures of himself, which Robertson promptly used as proof of his concoction’s potency. Busch, however, insists he never gave Robertson permission to profit from his pictures and now the two men are battling it out in court. Pensacola News … Continued…

Sure, we love Mark Foley and we love GLAAD, but we really love art. We’re particularly fond of art that takes the piss out of homo-hater fuck wads who distort religion for their own pursuit of evil.

That said, we definitely love what’s happening over at Garrett County Press. The small company based out of Phillie “asked 56 international artists to “color in” The Pat Robertson & Friends Coloring Book,” as they say.

The results? Incredible! In fact, we meant to post this bit of fun earlier, but we got so wrapped up in the site that we lost track of time. Sorry, we’ve robbed you … Continued…

Usually we hate taking pleasure in other people’s failures (okay, maybe “hate” is a bit of a stretch) but not when the people in question are the once almighty Christian Coalition. The group, which was founded by Pat Robertson (pictured) in his unholy quest to squash everything gay, has lost another affiliate, 365 Gay reports.

Joining Ohio, Iowa, and Alabama, the Georgian branch of haters has cut ties with the infirmed organization, saying: “The Christian Coalition of America has left us, we have not left them.” Why? The Coalition has been pumping more energy into enviornmental and wage issues.

Damn, these anti-gay folk are even more ignorant than we thought. Doesn’t … Continued…

Dear Andrew Brewer

Won’t you be our new best friend (with benefits)? We’ve fallen in love with you since reading your open letter to Pat Robertson. Not only do we want to film you and your friends in dirty, dirty ways, but we want to shake your hand for handing it to televangelist and homophobe Robertson. We’re thinking about making a print from the photo of you standing next to Robertson at brunch — before he knew you and your friends weren’t just gay, but so perceptive and eloquent.

Certainly, we could discuss for hours what the Bible says and … Continued…

Seven members of the Soulforce Equality Ride were arrested at Pat Robertson’s Regent University today, for tresspassing on school grounds as they tried to speak out against the school’s homophobic policies.

Several days ago, they were arrested for tresspassing at “gays are the devil” Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University, as they tried to speak to any gay students. This time, officials at Regent University warned them they’d be arrested if they set foot on school grounds, and yesterday they chose to protest across the street…but today, they went for it.

We’re not sure what to make of Soulforce. On one hand, everyone has the right to free beliefs, and that includes the right to … Continued…

We truly find it very difficult to dislike Pat Robertson. Honestly, how the heck can we hate someone who provides us with higher quality entertainment than anything on NBC? Okay that’s not saying much, but still.

Just a few short months ago he called for the assassination of Hugo Chavez and he’s now predicting death and destruction for quaint little Dover, Pennsylvania. All because people who wanted to teach intelligent design were kicked off the school board. We thought this would be a perfect time to remember how Mr. 700 Club himself feels about us fags.

Blaming us for 9/11:

“I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the … Continued…
