ILLINOIS: Red-Caped Catholic Loons Protest New Civil Unions Law

Last week the red-caped Catholic loons of Tradition, Values, & Property took their crew of brainwashed zombie teen summer campers to Chicago, where they stood on street corners and exhorted passersby to support their vision of a Vatican-controlled America. In the clip below, you won't see TFP members shouting vile insults at opponents, those parts are always edited out. But if anybody dares respond in anger, of course THAT makes the clip.

The Red-Caped Loons Invade Brown

On Wednesday, the red-caped bagpiping Catholic loons of the Society for Defense of Tradition demonstrated at Rhode Island's Brown University, knowing that their presence would provoke the famously ultra-liberal Ivy Leaguers and provide fodder for the below clip. You can read about the students' response at the school's newspaper.

More Video From The Red-Caped Loons

The red-caped loons of the Society for the Defense of Tradition have posted another clip of their street demonstration in Maryland earlier this month. While it certainly may be satisfying to see passersby curse and flip off these nutters, this clip is also instructive on how NOT to behave in the face of such asshattery. Do not ever touch another person or their signage and for fuck's sake, never never never make physical threats. All such actions will be endlessly repeated in their campaign materials AND as we saw with Prop 8, will be forever brought up as "proof" of our side's "violent homofacism." Styrofoam Cross Lady, anybody?

Red-Caped Nutters: When You Don't Like The Poll Result, Just Edit The Choices

Daily Kos blogger Homogenius wrote last night to point out that the red-caped loons at the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property didn't like the result of their poll on the overturn of Prop 8, so they went in and edited the wording of the top response. Thanks to a freeping effort, 84% of respondents ticked the "I support the decision" box. But by the end of the day, the top response had been changed to read "It is an irrational decision denying the nature and purpose of marriage."

Red-Caped Catholic Nutters Support NOM At Hate Rally In Pennsylvania

At the second-to-last stop on NOM's Hate Tour, the red-caped nutjobs from the Catholic American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property showed up to spew their usual bile. Listen as their baby-faced rep connects same-sex marriage to bestiality and declares that single-parent families are not actual families at all.

BREAKING: NO Civil Unions For Hawaii

Calling it "marriage by another name," Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle has just announced that she will VETO her state's civil unions bill. Adding insult to her bigotry, invited to the announcement was the now-retired Hawaii Supreme Court Justice who first got the state's marriage equality ball rolling in 1993.

Justice Steven H. Levinson's 1993 opinion stated that laws prohibiting same-sex couples the right to marry violated equal protection rights unless the state could show a "compelling reason" for such discrimination. Seventeen years, a Constitutional amendment and many battles later, Levinson, now retired, is among those who were invited to the governor's office to witness her announce her decision on House Bill 444 later today, he told Civil Beat this morning.

Anti-gay groups such as the Catholic nutters Tradition, Values, and Property held vigil outside the state house, saying the rosary in the hopes of warding off gay voodoo. Another group circled the state house seven times, blowing on a shofar. The Maui Time prepared the below two possible covers for tomorrow in advance of Lingle's announcement. Now we know which one goes to press.TAKE ACTION

UPDATE: The ACLU and Lambda Legal have announced plans to sue Hawaii.

Lambda Legal and the ACLU had readied a lawsuit after the House tabled HB 444 in January. The Hawai'i Senate had previously approved the bill by a veto-proof 18 to 7 majority and sent it back to the House for a conforming vote. "We're obviously disappointed that Governor Lingle has, once again, used her power to deny the people of Hawai'i their civil rights" said Laurie Temple, Staff Attorney for the ACLU. "Luckily for the people of Hawai'i, however, our constitution prevents discrimination based on sexual orientation. If the Governor won't honor her oath to uphold the constitution, the courts will."

MORE REACTIONS

Equality Hawaii:

“Today is a sad day for the thousands of Hawaii families who remain second class citizens,” said Alan Spector, legislative affairs co-chair for Equality Hawaii. “We fail to see how the Governor’s actions are in the best interest of Hawaii’s future and are nothing more than political maneuvering at the expense of people’s lives. We’re disappointed and outraged that same-sex families will not be treated equally under Hawaii law, but vow to come back and fight this fight another day.”

Human Rights Campaign:

“Americans nationwide share in the disappointment and outrage of thousands of Hawaii’s families who will not receive equal treatment under law,” said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign. “Thankfully, there are local advocates as well as leaders in the Hawaii legislature who will continue to further the cause of equality. For decades, we have been a loyal partner in this fight for fairness in the Aloha State and we pledge to stand with them for years to come.”

Pride Alliance Hawaii:

“The members of Pride Alliance Hawaii are greatly disappointed in Governor Lingle's decision to veto the Civil Unions bill and allow the state to continue its discriminatory practices against same-sex couples,” said Tara O’Neill, President of Pride Alliance Hawaii. “Two separate and independent economic studies, a poll conducted by a nationally recognized polling organization, and the thousands of residents who vocalized their support of the bill to the Governor and the Legislature over the past two years makes clear that the passage of HB444 is good economic sense, is socially just, and is supported by the people of Hawaii. The LGBT community's fight for equality in Hawaii will continue.”

National Gay & Lesbian Task Force:

“Governor Lingle’s veto of legislation that would protect and strengthen Hawaii’s families is beyond a disappointment: It is a disgrace. Hawaii’s lawmakers passed this bill because it was about fundamental fairness. The governor’s action today flies in the face of both common sense and common humanity. We urge the Hawaii Legislature to override this veto.”

P-FLAG Oahu:

“Today, on July 6, 2010, Gov. Linda Lingle denied social justice when she vetoed HB444 for Civil Unions,” said Rev. Carolyn M. Golojuch, President of PFLAG-Oahu. “Her denial is a violation of the integrity of her office and a violation of her oath of office. Governor Lingle’s denial of equal rights, benefits and protections for one segment of our citizens is a denial for all of our citizens of Hawaii.”

Rachel Maddow Goes To CPAC

She had a pretty fun time, actually, except for an encounter with one of those looney red-sashed Catholics.

Catholic Group: Openly Gay Soldiers Will Give You AIDS & STDs

The American Society for the Preservation of Tradition, Family, and Property, whom you may recall as the red-sashed wingnut Catholic group that stands on corners waving anti-gay signs, has issued a lengthy condemnation of the attempt to repeal DADT, saying that the "homosexual deathstyle" will result in gay soldiers spreading AIDS and STDs to others in their units.

During wartime, men are in continual contact with each other’s blood. Therefore, the well documented increased disease rates of homosexuals would cause them to be perceived as a risk rather than an asset to unit survival. This increased disease rate should not be underestimated. As Colonel Ronald Ray pointed out: “Despite the fact that they account for less than 2 percent of the total American population, a compilation of recent health studies shows that homosexuals account for 80 percent of America’s most serious sexually transmitted diseases.” This increased disease rate has led some to refer to the homosexual lifestyle as a “deathstyle.” Inclusion of this deathstyle in our Armed Forces is a dangerous proposition, indeed. With these factors in mind, it is simply impossible to suggest that openly serving homosexuals would not damage unit cohesion. Current law and many officers corroborate this affirmation.

The Navy is also investigating a possible correlation between alcohol abuse and the rise in HIV.
