I'm sending along a few links for you and others. I'm really beat today but I'll see if I can dig up some other links that I have posted recently, especially any to do with funding and lobbying. This is a start, anyway. The obsession with oppressing women and gays makes for some strange bedfellows, as the Rolling Stone article in particular, illustrates.
