NOM's Roback Morse calls you and me 'enemies of the natural family' (#Animus #prop8 #DOMA)
In an email that she headlines "I'm hopping mad about Prop 8" and asks her supporters to write letters to the editor that specifically mention her (what ego), the National Organization For Marriage's senior affiliate leader says this about us and our court-tested gains:
"I do not plan to be silent. The scorched earth tactics of the Sexual Revolutionaries are now taking down democracy itself. This is too high a price to pay for the supposed benefits of sexual "freedom." This is not just a liber...
GIF-ing NOM's stagnant graphic
The National Organization For Marriage wants you to know the number of states that have managed to hang on to discrimination over this past decade of monumental change:
[NOM]
But of course this fight, with its rapid pace of change and clear trend lines, is far from stagnant. That being so, I fixed the anti-gay organization's stalled graphic:

You're welcome, history!
Whoa, wait?! Dan Cathy seriously did it again?!
According to the Huffington Post, the business owner who infamously claimed marriages like mine invite God's judgement on the nation tweeted then deleted this in reaction to the Supreme Court decisions:
Dan Cathy, Chick-Fil-A President, Tweets Response To DOMA Ruling, Then Deletes It [Huff Po]
Cathy also posted a blog to a Chick-fil-A–branded site on June 25, cryptically telling his readers "not to worry" about an unnamed something that was to happen in the next twenty-four hours because God is...
This moment in careless punditry: LGBT evolution = anti-LGBT revolution
Not content with simply penning an openly defiant letter that encourages his movement to completely ignore yesterday's Supreme Court rulings, the Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver is now beating the drum for an all-out American Revolution:
[WND]
(*Comment comes at end of audio attached to post)
Is that what Matt teaches his students there at Liberty Law School? If your side fails to make an able case and loses in the highest court, you take to the streets in revolt?
But the thing is, it's not just the...
'Gay marriage activists didn't get what they wanted'
If you've looked at the anti-equality movement's spin regarding yesterday's marriage decisions, you've surely seen some variation of the paraphrased quote I use as my headline. The National Organization For Marriage, the Family Research Council, ProtectMarriage.com, the Alliance Defending Freedom—they all used some variation of it.
It's yet another example of the reliably duplicitous "traditional marriage" movement responding to a development (whether favorable or unfavorable) by misrepresenti...

AG holder: Committed to implementing #DOMA ruling, further progress
“Today’s historic decision in the case of United States v. Windsor, declaring Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional, is an enormous triumph for equal protection under the law for all Americans. The Court’s ruling gives real meaning to the Constitution’s promise of equal protection to all members of our society, regardless of sexual orientation. This decision impacts a broad array of federal laws. At the President’s direction, the Department of Justice will work expeditious...
Adorable spin, Catholic Vote
Tee hee:
I've been monitoring the #1m1W hashtag for days. It's over half filled with pro-equality voices; the other half is largely made up of Heritage Foundation staff members.
But good luck to ya.
Maggie Gallagher: SCOTUS treats Prop 8 supporters 'as beggars'
She wants her "side" to go back to court:
Reaction to Prop 8 Ruling
Posted on June 26, 2013 by Maggie Gallagher
The Supreme Court has just abandoned 7 million voters, giving us no justice and no access to the courts.. The California Supreme Court made it clear that the proponents of Prop 8 are delegated the right to defend the law if state official refuse to do so. But after accepting standing in DOMA because. . .well because it wanted to, the majority of the Supreme Court justices simply punted...
Mike Huckabee: May God forgive us for making Jesus cry
And now for some high-minded commentary on civil case law and the judicial process:
Well of course Jesus cried. I always cry at weddings too!
