Planting Peace, the non-profit organization behind The Equality House, that sits across the street from Westboro Baptist Church, today placed a giant billboard (above) in Cleveland, Ohio, where the RNC will take place next week. The billboard shows an illustration of Donald Trump about to kiss Ted Cruz with a caption that reads “Love trumps…
John Kasich announced today that he is suspending his presidential nomination campaign. This follows Ted Cruz’s announcement yesterday that he too was suspending his campaign leaving Donald Trump as the only contender for the Republican Party’s shot at the White House. John Kasich calls himself “the only hope,” in a Tweet announcing the suspension of…
Ted Cruz has released a new campaign ad attacking transgender people. Released Thursday, Cruz’s ad highlights his support for North Carolina’s HB2, an anti-LGBT law that forces transgender North Carolinians to use restroom facilities in schools and on publicly-owned property inconsistent with their gender identity. HB2 also attacks minorities by blocking individuals from suing under…
It is without question that Marco Rubio exposed the major flaws in Donald Trump’s candidacy at the most recent Republican presidential debate: his questionable business practices. Whether it was defrauding Trump University students, manufacturing a line of ties offshore, or hiring undocumented workers, Rubio put Trump’s conservative hypocrisy front and center.

We now know the winners of the Iowa caucuses; Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton. A self-proclaimed conservative outsider and the ultimate progressive insider. So America has a choice, the LGBT community does not. While the primaries are just beginning, I believe Iowa has actually chosen one eventual nominee and one that will flame out. Sure…

CNN Wire reported that Robertson made a forceful case to voters that the Texas senator could restore the U.S. to biblical principles and called gay marriage “evil” and “wicked.”…
I have to laugh as the Republican Party deals with the “birther” issue of Sen. Ted Cruz. There is nothing more amusing than seeing Republicans hoisted by their own petard, or simply put, being hobbled by tactics they developed. When President Obama was attacked for years about being born in Kenya, not one Republican leader…
Right Wing Watch has revealed that five Republican presidential candidates are scheduled to speak this weekend at a “religious freedom” event hosted by a conservative pastor who has repeatedly declared that AIDS is God’s punishment for gay people’s “immoral act” and has called for a “class action lawsuit” against homosexuality. Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted…
WASHINGTON – Today, Bob Vander Plaats and leaders of Iowa’s worst anti-LGBT group, the Family Leader, endorsed Ted Cruz in the 2016 presidential election. Cruz and Vander Plaats share a long and repugnant history of anti-LGBT rhetoric and activism, and today’s endorsement puts Cruz even farther outside the American mainstream in a state that’s had…
