New Zealand's St. Matthew in Auckland church thinks that it's the perfect time for Jesus to come out (and we're not talking of his birthday birth canal), so it's erected another controversial billboard above the country's largest city.  Details follow.

The New Normal was renewed for a second season, but you can bet the dozen or so "One Million Moms" won't be liking the show's Facebook page anytime soon.

Lawyers for the Waynesville School District agreed on Wednesday to allow Maverick Couch to wear his "Jesus Is Not A Homophobe" T-shirt on April 20 to recognize the Day of Silence, the annual national event meant to show solidarity with gay students. A final decision in Couch's lawsuit against the school district is still pending.
