The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."
He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior."
(CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)
Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego)."Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:
A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)
"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)
Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

| Sigh. We were on a roll there with positive news about civil equality...
First there was the ruling by New York's The Appellate Division of state Supreme Court that Canadian same-sex marriages must be recognized here. Kate and I married in Vancouver in 2004, so this was a big present.
Then, in Oregon, couples who wish to take advantage of the recently approved domestic partnership law may now do so as a federal judge tossed out a lawsuit attempting to prevent its implementation.
But it's time to roll up the sleeves for folks in the Sunshine State as the fundies have collected enough signatures to put a "marriage protection" measure on the ballot there. (Florida Sun-Sentinel): "In less than 2 weeks we were able to collect 92,000 signatures, which we thought was remarkable," said John Stemberger, an Orlando lawyer and Florida4Marriage chairman.
Florida4Marriage's amendment would define marriage as "the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife," and that "no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized."
...Gov. Charlie Crist distanced himself from the issue when he took office, proclaiming himself a "live and let live" governor.
Now with voters being asked to decide on gay marriage when they head to the polls to pick the next president, the amendment could drive more voters on both sides of the issue to the polls. Yes, this is going to be an election issue yet again, in a state that has been critical in deciding who ends up in the White House, placed in the center of the marriage equality storm. It cannot be avoided. It will force the intellectually dishonest leave-it-to-the states folks to answer for the ability of Florida to deny civil rights to a group of taxpaying residents.
Nadine Smith of Equality Florida and the Fairness for ALL Families Campaign urges people to reach out and educate voters on the issue; since the amendment would do away with existing domestic partnership protections. In a state like Florida, with many retirees, this can resonate with them as it did in Arizona, the only state that has turned away an amendment at the polls (in 2006).

An aside -- wouldn't be interesting if McCain selected Crist as his running mate. |
