Sunday in Outer Blogness: Gay parents edition!!!

chanson, June 17, 2012

This past week, a new study hit the press, showing that the children of failed mixed-orientation-marriages are at risk (compared to kids whose parents are in a stable relationship): It’s about current adults who grew up in mostly dysfunctional homes, where one of the parents may have had a homosexual…

Dallin Oaks and John Eastman redux

J Seth Anderson, September 27, 2011September 27, 2011

Back in February I wrote a post for MSP about the close relationship of Apostle Dallin H Oaks, former member of the Utah Supreme Court, and uber-right wing legal expert John Eastman. I posited that their close relationship indicated how closely the Mormon Church was involved with the ongoing Prop…

Robert P. George’s stand-up comedy routine is beyond stale

Chino Blanco, June 25, 2010October 1, 2011

From the NOM chairman’s 2007 debut gig: No doubt, it’s sure to get a chuckle from Mormons and Catholics … God’s on the line. Who’s He calling? Rome? Salt Lake City? Hilarity ensues. Best.Joke.Ever. Just ask Matt Holland. But I exaggerate. Because it wasn’t until 2009 that Robby began deadpanning…
