A gay dad challenges Mike Huckabee to shoot some hoops

NBA star Jason Collins coming out has inspired the competitive sportsman languishing in one dad and he’s chosen his opponent, anti-gay marathon man Mike Huckabee

Referring to the tragic event in Connecticut on Friday (14 December), American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer said it could have been prevented if a prayer for ‘Christian values’ started each school day.

Speaking on his radio show Focal Point, Fischer said: ‘You know the question is going to come up, “where was God? I thought God cared about the little children. Where was God when all this went down?”

Anti-gay Chick-fil-A spoofed in hilarious Funny or Die video

John Goodman stars as a very gay-friendly, and possibly gay Col. Sanders from KFC

The Chick-fil-A chain has been at the center of a heated debate ever since its top executive went on the record to say he was against gay marriage.

Gay marriage opponents like Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin have rallied to the Atlanta-based chain's defense who marriage equality advocates have spoken out, tweeted and protested.
