Not surprisingly, the Christo-fascists at Family Research Council have their panties in a huge wad over the results of the Golden Globe Awards the other night which saw two out actors - Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch (the later of which thanked her wife during her acceptance remarks) - win big and a gay themed movie win best picture. FRC can always be relied upon to be in a major funk if their preferred targets for abuse are not denigrated and treated as less than human and less than full citizens. The result is that on its blog - or perhaps hate platform is a better description - the purveyors of hatred have a full rant against Hollywood and its refusal to buy into the marginalization of gays and others the Christianists don't like. The good news is that the more rants like this that are unloosed, the more quickly people will realize just how toxic FRC and its quest against religious freedom are to society as a whole. Here's a sampling of the spittle flying filed temper tantrum:*
I didn't watch any of last night's Golden Globes, but I heard enough about it to know that I didn't miss anything

As in past years, the Globes proved that studios are far less concerned about entertaining people than they with indoctrinating them. Last night's awards were a celebration -- not of America's values, but of Hollywood's. Projects like The Kids Are All Right, Black Swan, "Glee," and others were rewarded for pushing the cultural envelope or advancing a liberal political agenda.

That may be how Hollywood defines "success," but it certainly isn't how audiences do. Neither of those films cracked the top 49 in last year's box office. In fact, The Kids Are All Right, which is the story of two lesbians raising a family, came in 113th in ticket sales.
