Jim Garlow has claimed that Satan is behind marriage equality, has compared children who lost their parents on 9/11 to children with gay parents, and has compared the extension of marriage rights to the bane of slavery. More here.

Harry Jackson refers to gay-headed families as "discombobulated Frankenstein structures" that are "out of order" with God, routinely accuses gay people of recruiting kids, has said that the current push for marriage equality is "just like during the times of Hitler," and calls the whole fight “a satanic plot to destroy our seed." More here.

Penny Nance has likened marriage equality to the "legalization of vices" like marijuana or prostitution, recently signed on to an effort that seeks God’s “healing for those who struggle with same-sex attraction” and to “replace unnatural affections,” and has referred to LGBT teens as “probably troubled kids in a number of ways.” More here.

What do these three have in common? They are all newly-announced speakers at the National Organization For Marriage's upcoming march outside of the U.S. Supreme Court (March 26):

SPEAKERS [NOM's March For Marriage]

Interestingly, NOM's own Jennifer Roback Morse, one of the first announced speakers, is no longer listed on any of the promotional materials. Wonder if her increasing penchant for going off message (read: pulling the curtain off the less convenient truths that sustain this movement) got her bumped.
