Bill Donohue comments on how the legalization of gay marriage will not be enough to satisfy radical activists: There aren't enough homosexuals to wage war on religious institutions—they comprise only 1.6 percent of the population—but they have plenty of support among elites. From Wall Street to Wal-Mart, the corporate elite has gone lavender, embracing the gay-rights [...]
Bill Donohue comments on a June 28 episode of TMZ: A female commentator and a male announcer on TMZ took after Bristol Palin, zeroing in on her recently announced pregnancy.

Bill Donohue comments on the Supreme Court decision declaring same-sex marriage a constitutional right: Once again, five Supreme Court justices have invented a right that is nowhere mentioned or implied in the U.S. Constitution.

Bill Donohue comments on how NBC is handling the Brian Williams controversy: NBC has its chief news anchor go rogue, and instead of commissioning an independent investigation, it does an in-house probe.
