The new Carrie Prejean?
In what looks like another of last Tuesday’s ploys by Prevo & company, an obvious attempt to bait LGBT people & our allies into turning the newly-crowned Mrs. Alaska United States® into another Carrie Prejean, martyr of the religious right. Continue reading

Billboards
While in 2003 Jerry Prevo decried Westboro Baptist Church tactics, in 2009 he & his allies didn’t hesitate to use children — even some younger then 10 — in a very like way, as billboards for their parents’ prejudices.
