Colorado Governor Bill Ritter made many a homo happy this weekend.

The politico sealed the legislative deal and signed a comprehensive non-discrimination bill, which includes sexual orientation and gender identity. While Ritter tried to keep fan fare to a minimum didn't release a statement, Senator Jennifer Veiga offered her congratulations, "I think it's a step in the right direction for Coloradans and civil rights."

Official silence didn't keep the righteous Focus On The Family from voicing their opposition. Founder James Dobson claims that Colorado's lawmakers are as "radical" as those in California and just want to "appease" the gays. Not that we're surprised by such an insane argument - Focus did did release those wretchedly panicked ads equating queers with sexual predators.

Sick.

That's the only word to describe a new Focus On The Family radio ad describing trans folk as "predators" who want nothing more than the feed off the flesh of the state's students.

The commercial comes as Governor Bill Ritter debates whether or not to sign or veto a Senate Bill including sexuality and gender identity in the state's non-discrimination legislation. And you can bet Focus and their friends are pulling out all the stops to raise public panic.

Give the audio a listen, after the jump.

Somewhere, Cleveland politician Bill Ritter is making a voodoo doll in the image of Brian.

Ritter is running in Ohio's upcoming Democratic primary for a seat in the state House, and Brian–blogger of Faggoty-Ass Faggot–received a notice from the Stonewall Democrats, highlighting Ritter's stance against gay marriage:

"Mike Foley (Ritter's opponent) was asked if he was 'For Gay Marriage?' Mike said 'Yes' he supports gay marriage. UNLIKE MIKE this concerns me since I DO NOT want this to become a state law. I feel a Marriage is between a MAN and a WOMAN. That is the WAY I WILL VOTE in Columbus! In FACT Mike Foley has been ENDORSED by the STONEWALL DEMOCRATS, who are a GAY/LESBIAN political action committee. His endorsement is largely because of His Support of Gay Marriage."

It's pretty disheartening news, as the Democrats are supposed to at least not vote for a gay marriage ban, regardless of whether they support full marriage rights or not. But FAF not being a place to mince words, Brian loaded the letter onto his page for all to enjoy; too bad the letter also included Ritter's phone number. Which people called.

A lot…
