US: Family Research Council accidentally cites poll proving people are in favour of gay rightsBut what they didn’t say about the poll was that only 38% opposed a law, and when asked the question “Do you think it should be legal or illegal for an employer to fire someone for being gay or lesbian?” 76% percent said that it should be illegal to discrimination. And to add salt to the wounds 62% thought it was already illegal to discriminate.

The Family Research Council has accidentally cited a poll which found people were overwhelmingly in favour of workplace discrimination laws, while trying to argue against them.
In a blog post, the anti-gay group claimed: “No wonder the President had to resort to an executive order on special treatment for homosexuals. Turns out, the American people aren’t nearly supportive of his agenda as the media led us to believe.
“In a Huffington Post poll, only 50% of Americans support an ENDA-type (Employment Non-Discrimination Act) law, which gives preference to homosexuals and transgenders in the workplace.

During a radio show slot, Perkins compared the case of a Colorado baker who has stopped making wedding cakes to the Holocaust.
He said: “I’m beginning to think, are re-education camps next? When are they going to start rolling out the boxcars to start hauling off Christians?”

The ADL’s National Director, Abraham Foxman, said in a statement: “There is no comparison between contemporary American political issues and the actions of Hitler’s regime during the Holocaust.
“Such inappropriate analogies only serve to trivialize the Holocaust and are deeply offensive to Jews and other survivors, as well as those Americans who fought valiantly against the Nazis in World War II.”

The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to block gay marriages in Oregon.
In a terse, one-sentence order, the court rejected a request by the National Organization for Marriage to stay the May 19 federal court ruling allowing gays and lesbians to marry in Oregon.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, who rules on emergency cases in the western region of Oregon, referred the issue to the full court, which then declined to get involved in the Oregon case.
The lawsuit stemmed from information an IRS worker sent to an individual who identified himself as a member of the media who requested it in the midst of the 2012 presidential campaign, which he then sent to the pro-gay rights group Human Rights Campaign. The Huffington Post then ran a story noting a political action committee linked to Mitt Romney had been a donor to NOM.They were awarded $50,000 in actual damages from the unauthorized release.
A federal district court judge, however, recently ruled that there was not enough evidence to demonstrate the disclosure was willful and that the record showed it was released “inadvertently as part of a single employee’s mistake.”
