Edward Whelan, the president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of an incendiary New York Post op-ed that suggested gay Boy Scout leaders would molest their charges, debated former Eagle Scout Zach Wahls on CNN. Whelan is also the father of a soon-to-be Eagle Scout; he recently wrote an op-ed for thePost that posited,

“Imagine that a group of girls is going on a long camping trip, supervised by adult volunteers who are young men you barely know. Would you let your 15-year-old daughter go?”

On CNN this weekend, Whelan defended the right of the Scouts to allow only people they deem “suitable.” Activist Wahls had much to say in response.

Christian ‘ex-gay’ porn star: The devil comes out of your anus when you have gay sex

US gay porn star turned ‘ex-gay’ Christian fundamentalist Joseph Sciambra has recorded a bizarre video where he claims that anal sex causes gay men to give birth to the devil.

(Click the header link above to watch the hilarious video.)

In the video, Sciambra who formerly appeared in gay porn for many years says that after finding God, he sought hospitalisation following damage caused to his rectum that meant he had to have his “sphincters almost stitched shut.” In the video he said: “I’m going to talk about the devil and why he loves anal sex. Anal sex releases into the world rare demonic entities and that even in the body could be conceived as the devil and that would be given birth to anally.

Describing his experiences in the porn industry he said: ”There is a definite dark shadow when you are involved with this stuff. I did BDSM bondage porn.” Warning the viewers of his ministry, Sciambra said:”The anus was never designed by nature to accommodate the penis. It just wasn’t meant to be. When you do get involved with that activity it causes a lot of physical damage- I can testify that first hand. When I got out of porn, I started having problems straight away. About two years later, I had surgery, it was horrible I had to have my sphincters almost stitched shut.”

Concluding his video, the former porn star tells viewers about the “spiritual and mental damage that anal sex can do. I do believe that it creates a doorway literally into the demonic, the supernatural.” Scimabra writes a blog entitled “How Our Lord Jesus Christ Saved Me From Homosexuality, Pornography, and the Occult.”

Project Queer: Well, this is a first for me to read from all the anti-gay Christian Fundamentalist reasons to be against homosexuality. This is going to forever change how I view gay porn. My vivid imagination is running rampant, folks. How about you?

AFER Video: Marriage Equality in 2012, Year in Review

From American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER):

Here we are at the end of 2012, and after a year of amazing progress we’re closer than ever to full federal marriage equality. Think about where we were a year ago with Prop 8, with DOMA, with marriage laws from state to state. So much has happened since then. So let’s do a quick year-in-review to get you caught up with the progress we made in 2012, and where we’re going to focus in 2013, including which states are the most likely to make headlines in the coming year.
