American Family Association, Perry’s partner in the recent Jesuspalooza fundamentalist rally in Houston, The Response, crusaded for years against Movie Gallery, urging boycotts beginning in 2000 and rejoicing in the chain’s closure.

Rick Perry’s big Jesuspalooza was today, in Houston’s Reliant Stadium, and some brave Texans took time to demonstrate that homophobia and transphobia kills. These GetEQUAL TX members staged a funeral celebrating the lives of those killed by transphobia and homophobia: two phobias central to the Xtianist believers who supported Rick Perry’s The Response today.

Governor Perry is making this into a national spectacular. He is inviting Governors from every state to come fast and pray. Shoot it to me straight Jesus. Should I take part?”
