The heavyweight match of the century has finally been given a ring!

In this week's Savage Love podcast, Dan Savage gives Brian Brown an answer for his "anytime, any place you name" request in the Bible debate invitation the NOM leader extended in early May. 

So, where and when has Dan decided to take up Brian's request?

The National Organization for Marriage is still outraged OUTRAGED! over the scandal it likely helped manufacture in an attempt to dethrone one of the country's top LGBT personalities, which makes the next move in its political strategy a chin-scratcher. In a challenge raised today, NOM's head homophobe Brian Brown has invited Dan Savage to debate the bible. Now while NOM's not known for making the smartest, most-successful political moves, if Dan accepts, Brian is going to get his ass handed to him on a platter (and not in the way Marcus Bachmann enjoys).

Anti-gay megachurch pastor T.D. Jakes, who once called gay folks broken and unworthy of his employment and unworthy of his church, told Oprah that he doesn't want his legacy to be smeared with the santorum stains of homophobia that he's so far knee-deep in. His plea for a homophobia-free memorial (and the typical "I'm not a homophobe but I'm homophobic), after the jump.

Betty Bowers has us spitting out mouthfuls of our precious Bailey's coffee this morning, but we're not mad! Her hilarious new video "Join the Party" puts a spotlight on the hypocrisy celebrated by fundamental Christians embedded within the GOP and features a cameo by Growing Pains afterthought, Kirk Cameron (the most acting work he's had in years!). Watch, after the jump.

New York boys ready to convince Tim Tebow to open his, uhm, mind to the gays might have a little more time to form a strategy: after reviewing the contract in full, the New York Jets aren't too happy about some fine print and may change the decision to accept the Tebow trade. The football parlance in all its glory, after the jump!

No, it's not 2003 all over again; Dan Savage and Rick Santorum really are once again engaged in a moral holy war of wits (well, one side possesses wits). The lop-sided wits and a prayer for the damned, after the jump!
