That's Mr. 'One Blogger' to you, Brian Brown
Well we now know that the National Organization For Marriage is watching us closely. This from a new NOM email:
Where have you seen the highlighted line before? Yes, that's right: It's from our earlier post:
HOLY CRAP: NH HOUSE REJECTS MARRIAGE BILL! [G-A-Y]
Thanks so much for the shout out, NOM!
But just to correct you: We aren't "SHOCKED!" -- we're frickin' annoyed. Annoyed that the unnecessary religious protections that were put in place to appease groups like yours (even though they will never satisfy you) led some lawmakers, like Rep. Steve Vaillancourth, to change their vote to a "Nay." Annoyed that faith has once again stymied the march towards CIVIL fairness. Annoyed that because of the governor's forced tinkering, this needless, inevitably pro-equality-bending conversation will have to go on a little longer.
You want to call this, a vote that actually seems to go AGAINST the idea that religious protections are necessary, a "huge victory"? Go right ahead. If that's where your bar is now set, then we're grateful that our inevitable hop over it will be an easy one!

Your thoughts
Nothing here about NOM... But this is from a knowledgeable decade long Rights fighter.
"My friends in Concord NH, who have been active for many decades, knows the landscape and said clearly that Lynch contrived this
bait and switch with fellow fauxDems in the legislature where he served.
Lynch found a way to punt it back, knowing that the conservaDems and their homophobic GOP, could have another bite at the apple and defeat or emasculate it.
It puts Lynch out of the line of fire for dumbasses and the woosy gentrified HRC and Marty Rouse types. Don't get me started on Marty Rouse and his MassEquality and HRC his new home. Without GLAD and KnowThyNeighbor...and Tom Lang...we would not have CM in MA.
I have been in the fight for years, and can smell betrayal with an olfactory ability that defies empirical evaluation. LOL"

Magaglagher won't tell them which blogger it was, or put a link to your comment, because she doesn't want any of horde to be able to actually read the rest of what you said. The "out of context" quote serves her lying liar purposes, but the truth never does - or ever will, for that matter.

Interestingly NOM took me off their mailing list. I guess they finally figured out what I was using it for.
I'll have to sign up via another email address.
