Things got awkward and awesome this week on Modern Family when Matthew Broderick guest-starred as a gay friend of Cam's who gets more than his wires crossed on a "date" with Phil (Ty Burrell). 

Watch the hilarious goodness after the jump!

We're guessing the Family Research Council doesn't consider this blatantly inflammatory and inaccurate rhetoric to be "hate speech."

In the wake of UPS's refusal to support the Boy Scouts of America, the FRC has once again come out in support of the BSA's discriminatory policy against gays. They're now claiming that the BSA's decision to ban gays isn't based on a desire to discriminate, but is an effort to protect children from those big scary gay pedophiles.

Really.

See what they had to say after the jump.

Humanity wins when civil rights wins, but The Assumption Church in Barnesville, Minnesota is acting like a big, sore loser after bigotry lost at the ballot box last week. Details follow. 

Something called the People's Choice Awards has bleeped on our gaydar after announcing its 2012 nominees with one category that should be renamed "Favorite TV Gay."

Dan Savage really, really wants Tony Perkins to take part in the great American litigious tradition. For the second time (this time in the form of a video) the activist practically gets down on his knees to beg hate group leader Tony Perkins to make good on his promise of a lawsuit. 

So, what does Dan now have to say about Tony's threat? 

Rather than simply licking their wounds in the wake of their embarrassing defeat as they opposed marriage equality the poor persecuted "Christian" right has decided that "civil disobedience" is the answer.

Right-wingnut, Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council is encouraging the "Christian" (there we go with those pesky quotes again) base to rise up against those forces that are "redefining marriage."

What that will entail, he won't say, but we're sure he doesn't mean to come off as threatening, right?? Certainly not.

Decide for yourself after the jump.

The library is open!

The family of Josh Mandel, a GOP candidate vying for one of Ohio's seats in the U.S. Senate, took out a full page ad in the Cleveland Jewish News to put their kin's homophobic campaign on full blast. 

So, what brilliance does Mandel's own family have to share with Ohio's voters about his opposition to the LGBT community? 

Even in a message conveying disappointment and frustration, Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson still manages to remain polite as he kindly shows homophobic "fans" the door. 

Oof. The Family Research Council is pulling no punches as it attempts to link President Obama to the ever outspoken Dan Savage. 

Their basic "message"?? It Gets Better Project founder Dan Savage is an anti-Christian bully and Obama likes him so don't vote for him. (Because clearly the two men are thick as thieves and Savage's rhetorical choices are far more harmful than any of the hate rhetoric the FRC spews on a daily basis.)

Watch their desperate ad after the jump.

Amazing gay dads, with help from TLC Child & Family Services, have released a video response to Mitt Romney's career of homophobia at the expense of same-sex parents to kick off National Adoption Month. Watch it after the jump.

Last year (above), Neil Patrick Harris, hubba hubba hubby David Burtka, and kids Harper and Gideon made the cavity where our heart used to be tingle at sight of their group Halloween costume (though it could've just been due to our decision to go shirtless to the cold cold cold Village Halloween Parade again). 

This year, NPH and crew single, well, family-handedly hold down Halloween for the gays with yet another outrageously adorable costume...

Grab the tissues. 

Ten-year-old Sophia Bailey Klugh wrote a letter to President Obama in the wake of his vocalized support for marriage equality. Sophia has two dads, Jonathan Bailey and Triton Klugh, who posted their daughter's letter on Facebook. 

Sophia poses a very important question. Find out what it is after the jump!
