Oh please. The only curses are the ones that FRC staffer safe surely muttering under their breath after a week where their inevitable loss has crystalized like never before.
Jim Garlow, other Prop 8 figures get out the vote for pro-LGBT Democrat; seriously
In another sign of the deep trouble the GOP is having with its quickly collapsing tent, a group of California conservatives, many of whom were prominent in the Prop 8 battle (Jim Garlow, Chris Clark, Charles LiMandri) have issued an open letter encouraging people to vote for pro-equality Democrat Scott Peters rather than openly gay Republican Carl DeMaio in the race for California's 52nd congressional district. Moreover, this band of anti-LGBT activists is calling on voters in Oregon and Mass...
A fitting statement on where anti-equality movement is: NOM 'encouraged by' an error
Yesterday afternoon, amid a week where they were deprived on any happiness to put into a press release, the National Organization For Marriage posted this "encouraging" news:

Because if he was against us, he'd accuse our love of destroying the entire universe. Duh!
Chair Eastman teases NOM's (hilarious) plan for a constitutional convention
Last year I show you how the National Organization For Marriage has purchased a cache of domain names that spoke to possible plans to hold a convention related to marriage. Today, Chairman John Eastman puts some chatter to the constitutional convention idea:
John Eastman serves as chairman of the board at the National Organization for Marriage. He understands the frustration people are feeling.
"They need to let their elected representatives know that they're not going to tolerate this," says E...
States don't have right to enact marriage equality, says man whose state now has marriage equality (hooray!)
Matt Barber's home state of Virginia elected a pro-equality governor and attorney general, and now, thanks to a series of court actions, has marriage equality in place. But it's all fake, insists Matt. Right Wing Watch nabbed the clip:

Thankfully tangible realities don't need a Barber-branded battery before they are empowered.
