March 4 Marriage
NOM is organizing its Supreme Court opposition at a "March For Marriage" site. For details on how we will counter them on March 25, 26, 27, and throughout the entire month, go Like our "March 4 Marriage" page. As details crystallize on our side, so will the page:
*Important reminder: March 26 is not only the first day of SCOTUS hearings and the day that NOM plans to march against us—it's also the one year anniversary of us all learning their stated intent to "drive a...
Anti-equality side begins praying for SCOTUS figures
In week one of nine, we learn that God needs to manifest goodness in Ted Olson's life:

Personally, I can't wait for the Scalia, Thomas, and Alito sections that simply read: "Pray that they show up to work."

'We,' NOM? So which one of you lives in Colorado, exactly?
"We" Coloradans are opposed to civil unions, says the Washington D.C.–based National Organization For Marriage:
And don't even get me started on that bakery that NOM mentions in this astroturfed blast. This supposed "right" to not bake a cake does not have the first thing to do with marriage or civil unions. Cakes are not dependent on marriage laws. It's not about how many tiers, how many flowers, or what purpose the pastry is for. This, the matter of conducting pastry-based c...

FRC stamps branding on 'Scout Sunday'; prints church bulletin inserts warning of supposed safety threats
Be sure to note the "…or even worse" fear text:
[FRC]
**UPDATE: A colleague tells me that it actually already was "Scout Sunday," which is annual occurrence. FRC is just co-opting it for discrimination. Which is just classy, really.
Prop 8 trial begins on Book Of Mormon's print anniversary
It's no secret that the LDS church was very much behind the California ban that became known as Proposition 8. So this kind of blows my mind:
March 26, 1830: On this day in 1830, the Book of Mormon was first published at E.B Grandin’s New York bookstore. [SOURCE]
March 26, 2013: The United States Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Hollingsworth v. Perry, the federal constitutional challenge to California’s Proposition 8, on Tuesday, March 26, 2013. [SOURCE]
Bryan Fischer tries to hijack #IWontStandFor hashtag. You know what to do.
For many things I won't stand for, see Bryan Fischer's Commentator Accountability Project profile. You'll have to sit down for that one.
Don't ever believe NOM is only against our marriages
In Wyoming, it's a domestic partnership proposal:
In Colorado, it's a civil unions bill :
Nationwide, it's hostility toward our rights. Not just our marriages—our rights.
When you hear NOM pretending to be fine with civil unions or domestic partnerships, it's only because they know the local political landscape demands it of them (see NH in 2012). But don't you ever believe it to be true! NOM has proven time and time again that, left to its own devices, this organization would deny us of even th...
This is that post where a Catholic leader likens my marriage to men squirting milk out of their nipples
And now another minute with the so-called "Father of Prop 8":
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — San Francisco’s new archbishop Salvatore Cordileone told an English Catholic newspaper that legalizing same-sex marriage was akin to legalizing male-breastfeeding.

Hey, Cordileone: What my husband and I do at the privacy of our own breakfast table does not concern you!
Audio: Alabama school teacher doesn't believe in 'queers' or 'fat butt Michelle Obama'
Take it away, Bob Grisham, Lauderdale County High School teacher and football coach:
But do "queers" believe in you, teacher?
Just wait until he's disciplined and the National Organization For Marriage rushes to make him their next "anti-defamation" victim. They did, after all, once do that with a teacher who said gays make him vomit.
