Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani's past keeps coming back to haunt him. Not only has the drg-gag loving former NYC mayor been accused of being an abortionist, but the conservative party balked at his allegedly - and since reformed - pro-gay ways. The soon-to-be 63-year old politico's unwavering commitment to wavering has garned more of its fair share of criticism and now Focus on The Family's daddy, James Dobson's has joined the mix.

Speaking to WorldNetDaily ("the free paper for free people"), noted - and published! - homophobe Dobson very nearly swore to God that he would not cast a vote for Giuliani:

I cannot, and will not, vote for Rudy Giuliani in 2008. It is an irrevocable decision. If given a Hobson's – Dobson's? – choice between him and Sens. Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama, I will either cast my ballot for an also-ran – or if worse comes to worst – not vote for the first time in my adult life.

Sure, Dobson may reduce GOP numbers, but there ain't a chance in Hell he's casting his good, Christian vote for a black man or a woman! That would be blasphemous!!

Colorado Springs has a bad rap. Known more for its history of homo-hating residents - Ted Haggard, Focus on The Family and scores of other Evangelical wackos - than its mountain ranges, the city's on a mission to remake its image. And, appropriately enough, the political face-lift comes in the form of The Diversity Forum...

This weekend's The World Congress of Families in Poland will be a veritable who's who of homo-haters. The Family Research Council, Concerned Women For America, the American Family Association, Focus on the Family and a slew of other conservatives will gather to discuss Europe's so-called slow decent into "post-modern West" hell.

From the Congress' website:

Europe is almost lost; to a demographic winter and to the secularists. If Europe goes much of the world will go with it. Almost alone, Poland has maintained strong faith and strong families, though even Poland comes under severe pressure to change. Poland has saved Europe before. It is likely she will save Europe again.

When they say "save", of course, they mean: eradicate any and all threats to the Christian, heterosexist agenda. No wonder they chose Poland.

It's hard finding a date. That's why millions upon millions of people turn to the internet to find their next honey. And we're not talking Manhunt here. Believe it or not, gay men and women actually find longterm lovers via the world wide web. One of the biggest site, eHarmony, refuses to help them.

Founder Dr. Neil Clark Warren claims that since eHarmony's a "marriage" based-site, they can't cater to the homos. Homos, of course, can't legally marry and eHarmony goes by the book. What he doesn't mention, however, is that his law book goes by another name: The Bible. The popular site got its start under the Focus on The Family wing. Warren's great chums with that old homo-hater, James Dobson and Dobson used to promote the site on his radio show. The men severed their business ties back in 2005, when eHarmony became a publicly traded company. Their homophobic legacy lives on, however, thus ensuring no gay will ever find love on their cultish site.

Now another dating site's looking to fill that gaping hole. Chemistry.com - an offshoot of gay loving match.com - has launched an aggressive ad campaign highlighting eHarmony's discriminatory logic. Here's their queer commercial. It's sweet, to the point and, we hope, effective...

In an effort to curb conservative charlatans from usurping science for their dastardly ways, Truth Wins Out has established a new website, Respect My Research. The site comes after Focus on The Family leader James Dobson misrepresented scientific findings in his Time Magazine-published preaching against Mary Cheney's lesbianic pregnancy. Researchers cited by Dobson have since come out against his homophobic manipulations.

We commend anyone with the balls to take on Focus on The Family's nasty leader, James Dobson, especially when they're ball-less. Hats off to Washington state lesbian couple, Dotti Berry and Robynne Stapp. Under the auspices of Soulforce, the two lady lovers signed up for a tour of the Focus on the Family compound and demanded to see Dobson in order to get the "family-oriented" leader to renounce his erroneous statements on the "scientific inferiority" of gay families.

A stubborn man, Dobson refused to meet with the women, who were promptly arrested and charged with trespassing. But, really, what did they expect, some sort of divine intervention?

Here's some video of Dr. Kyle Pruett insisting that homophobe schmuck bag and Focus on the Family leader James Dobson misused his research for his erroneous Time Magazine article in which admonished Mary Cheney for having a baby with her lesbian love, Heather Poe.

Dobson wrote:

With all due respect to Cheney and her partner, Heather Poe, the majority of more than 30 years of social-science evidence indicates that children do best on every measure of well-being when raised by their married mother and father. That is not to say Cheney and Poe will not love their child. But love alone is not enough to guarantee healthy growth and development. The two most loving women in the world cannot provide a daddy for a little boy--any more than the two most loving men can be complete role models for a little girl... The unique value of fathers has been explained by Dr. Kyle Pruett of Yale Medical School in his book Fatherneed: Why Father Care Is as Essential as Mother Care for Your Child. Pruett says dads are critically important simply because "fathers do not mother."

Pruett's the second of Dobson's "sources" to come out against the essay.

So, what's the mean? Well, Dobson's a liar, but other than that, probably not that much. Still, it's always entertaining watching a bigot liar get what he deserves...

A copywriter reader sent us a little love note this weekend telling us about his work with dating website, match.com. He writes:

We did some outdoor boards for the UK Match.com that were posted all over their Underground stations. And being the good little homo that i am and wanting to represent my peeps, i asked that we include a gay couple, so we did, no prob.

Nice, right?

So, we followed his link to see what the matchers had in store for the single fagalas. Above you see the gay friendly version. What's that? "Where are the homos," you ask? Why, they're nestled cosily in the upper right hand corner, next to the rainbow. (Duh.)

Sure, it's kind of funny that they're next to the rainbow, but we can't help but wonder why one of the men's green. Can someone please explain? We know it's a fantasy world - note the cream puff's having a romantic date - but they could have made the second homo a normal color, like brown or black or even white. Although, maybe he's got an upset stomach. We don't know....

At least the homos are represented. Not like those bastards over at eHarmony - they're currently being sued for discriminating against queers.

Why do they discriminate against queers? Because they're Evangelicals: founder Dr. Neil Clark Warren got the company off the ground with the help of James Dobson and Focus on The Family. They may have cut official ties when the company went public, but those damn ideological connections have a way of sticking.

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney may want people to think he's the most conservative candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, but Senator Sam Brownback thinks otherwise.

Speaking to Christian Broadcasting Network, Brownback insisted he's the only staunch pro-life candidate and said of Romney:

I think you have to look at where he stood on the issues and what he said publicly. At times he's said different things on these issues. I think that's all going to come out during a long campaign... [W]hen we get out on the campaign trail and when the campaign really gets fully engaged, there's going to be a lot of discussion about where do people actually stand on the issues and where have they been and where are they now and how reliable are they to stay that way.

Oh, snap!

As you may recall, poor Mitt's past pro-gay statements have come back to haunt him, leading many social conservatives to wonder if he's got the Biblically-proportioned balls to lead our country. Brownback, meanwhile, has the complete support of people like Focus on The Family. Sorry, Romney, but we don't think you're long for the running.

Did you know there's a conservative Christian public relations firm? We sure didn't. Although it makes perfect sense: we can't have James Dobson using some damn fag to spread his message, now can we? While one of the biggest Bible-pushing PR firms, WDC Media ("PR with a Higher Purpose") may make their money promoting the gospels of J.D. Faust and Jackie Mason (not to mention a little Mel Gibson movie about Jesus), but they're not above getting down and dirty with a little political activism. Their enemy? The National Education Association.

It seems they take offense by the NEA's pledge to combat homophobic bullying. On their website, WDC says:

A former chairman of the National Education Association's Ex-Gay Educators Caucus says the NEA is engaging in a "big misinformation campaign" with the goal of changing public opinion on homosexuality, starting with the youngest generation.

The NEA has unveiled a new web page [Caution: This page contains pro-homosexual material] on "gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students," stating that the educators' union is "committed" to fighting harassment, bullying, and discrimination aimed at those students.

That's the most dastardly thing we've heard since we learned about the holocaust! Protecting children from discrimination? God, they must be some kind of monsters! Just listen to the vile things the NEA promotes:

There is only one real issue for educators: We are responsible for our students' safety and education. We must ensure that everyone is given the opportunity to achieve and thrive.

Isn't this how The Book of Revelations started?

WDC's source, a California teacher named Jeralee Smith, claims the NEA's out to fagify all of America's youth. While the site posts GLSEN statistics on homophobia, WDC points out:

...[T]he NEA's new web page does not provide statistics about the many young people who have had same-sex sexual encounters in the past but have since abandoned such behavior.

Wow. They're homosexual masterminds.
