Four states' fired-because-of-marriage 'victim': 'When did I say I was fired b/c of Civil Marriage Act?'
All four state inequality campaigns are using National Organization For Marriage employee Damian Goddard as an example of someone who was supposedly fired because of marriage. But check this out. In a series of tweets with @GordonEcker, Goddard claims he has never actually claimed that he was fired because of marriage equality itself:

This organization has zero c...
Video: There's only one side working to break vows, MN For Marriage! (*and it's you, btw)
Nobody promised Catholic Charities that they could both take state money and discriminate against certain kinds of families.
Nobody promised Damian "gay relationships are like man-on-dog" Goddard that he could tweet that he would always remain on contract with a Canadian sports network.
