March 26: NOM to hold march on its own ignoble anniversary
On Relevant Radio's "The Drew Mariani Show," National Organization For Marriage president Brian Brown announced that NOM will host "a ton of people" at demonstration outside of the Supreme Court building on March 26, the day oral arguments go before the court:
[Drew Mariani Show, 1/22/13]
Why is that date particularly significant? Well, because March 26 just so happens to be the one-year anniversary of the day we all learned NOM's shocking desire to "drive a wedge between gays and blacks" (amon...
Maine's anti-equality team seeks 'victims'
I'm skeptical about this being for a reporter at all. It could be for the National Organization For Marriage's laughable "Anti-Defamation" project:
If this truly is for a reporter known for fairness, it will be a very short report. These cooked up claims exist in the form of press release, not journalism.

Alveda King claims marriage equality as facet of 'reproductive genocide'
Anti-equality activist and National Organization for Marriage ally Alveda King:
"Now in the 21st century, to see the NAACP advancing abortion [and] homosexual 'marriage,' what they're doing is they're promoting reproductive genocide," she tells OneNewsNow.
Thirty-six percent of abortions in the U.S. kill black babies, and of course homosexuals cannot procreate. King says the NAACP could turn itself around, but only through repenting. The movement of African-Americans calling for repentance from...

RI House passes marriage equality
51–19! On to the state senate.
National Organization for [driving a wedge between gays and blacks] on what Obama 'forgot'
NOM and its president on what America's President supposedly forgot:
[NOM Blog]
What NOM and its president apparently forgot: what we all know about NOM's stated strategy. To wit:
BREAKING: Previously Confidential Documents Shed Light on NOM Strategy [NOM Exposed]
Forgive the United States' pro-equality-while-African-American President, Brian, if he doesn't appoint you as his advisor on LGBT/Black unity.
FRC equates National Cathedral's marriage ceremonies with its funerals
Gays' marriages cause cracks, kind of like Earthquakes. All of which will kill marriage, naturally:
[FRC]
Ahh, just suck up that sterling commitment to religious freedom. A church chooses to ban gays, and FRC claims that house of worship is simply acting out its beliefs; a church chooses to welcome gay couples, and that house of worship becomes a tragic natural disaster that will soon decimate goodness. Such tolerance, good Christian solider.
NOM Comm. Director believes own press; claims marriage work 'protects women and children'
Thomas Peters, the Communications Director for the National Organization For Marriage, is not really hurting loving gay couples with his work pushing discrimination into whatever state or federal constitution will bend to his employer's whims. No, no—he's just protecting women, children, and society:
Except for lesbians, children of gays, and a society that believes its constitutional principles belong to all and are not to be limited by a religious group's personally-held faith beliefs. They...
Bryan Fischer is hijacking the civil rights movement (is what I would say if I adopted his own movement's tactics)
Isn't the religious right always claiming that gay is "chosen" and therefore cannot be analogous to race? Yeah, well—take a peep at this one:
Now, obviously I don't think anyone's sexual orientation is "chosen." But what I do know—for sure, without doubt or nature/nurture debate—is that everyone's faith is a choice. 100% of the time. So how dare Bryan Fischer, a regular peddler of the "no one is born gay" nonsense, directly align Christian beliefs (by which he means anti-gay conservative Chris...
NOM lobbyists have *had it up to here* with the lobbied politicians that they heavily lobby
Forget just knocking the duly elected state representatives for doing the job that voters sent them to do. NOM, an organization that has spent much time and money trying to shape Rhode Island politics, is now going after lobbying—the very thing that NOM was largely created to do:
(h/t: Laurel Ramseyer)
It's like a Monopoly player attacking the Free Parking space for allowing the thimble to walk on it. NOM's the thimble (even if it acts more like a needle).
