Audio: Add former NOM leader Jennifer Roback Morse to the marriage-equality-is-inevitable crowd

The right side of history meets the right side of commerce: [@Target] (h/t: Scott Hutcheson) This is another one of those things that shows the clear difference between our side and our opposition's. Can you even imagine a major retail...

Video: D.C. news show properly frames NOM as the 'foes' that they are
For the most part, this interview between National Organization For Marriage communications guy Joe Grabowski and D.C. TV host Bruce DePuyt is standard fare. Bruce cites truths about the turning tide while Joe resorts to the same tired talking points...

Tonight: Sens. Cornyn, Cruz speak in defense of Texas-sized discrimination
Food is provided; animus is likely: [TX Values] The petition these Republican U.S. Senators (and others) will be supporting pointedly refers to same-sex relationships as "deviant": [CRT PAC] In case you were unclear about whether they really mean "defense" or...

Arkansas Family Council fights civil marriage by calling it 'sin'; kind of like fighting drivers' licensing with cries of 'porcupine!'
The marriage debate is annoying for many reasons. Chief among them is the fact that our opposition is not even trying to have the same conversation as us: ARKANSAS: An auspicious group of laymen, elected officials and over 100 Christian...

US District Court judge essentially ends NOM's ridiculous IRS lawsuit
Some snips: *** *** Full ruling here. In light of the facts, "damages from this single disclosure" is going to be a tough one for NOM to prove. A buck? A buck fifty, maybe?

NOM misspells Cory Booker's name, misrepresents his commitments
The National Organization For Marriage's support for discrimination, its related policy, and its proponents would be one thing. But something I've always found particularly detestable about this organization is the inability to simply support their candidate and his or her...

Jack Phillips is happy with his wedding cake–less biz? Great. Fine. Whatever.
While most of the business owners who the far-right holds up as supposed "victims" of same-sex marriage (or just LGBT equality, more accurately, since most of the situations arise in states without marriage equality) claim that their business has been...

Is NOM's #March4Marriage planning to piggy back off Ralph Reed's more high-profile event?
On the same day and in the same city as the National Organization For Marriage's planned march, lobby day, and gala, another much higher profile coalition of (largely anti-gay) conservatives will gather for their own lobbying and meeting and reception-ing....

Um, not sure I'd use the phrase 'drive a wedge' when defending a NOM event
The Coalition of African-American Pastors, which works in tandem with the National Organization for Marriage to cultivate discrimination here in America, recently posted a truly disgusting video that directly compares same-sex marriage's supposed affront to Black people to actual human...

'Ex-gay' dogmatists plan second 'Ex-Gay Awareness Month' (even though first one never really happened)
Last year's event was a hilarious failure, with only a tiny handful showing up for the lobbying portion of the event and so few showing interest in a planned gala at the Family Research Council that the idea was eventually...

NOM and Thomas Peters go after US Embassy to the Holy See for promoting LGBT equality
Both the National Organization For Marriage (a Catholic organization) and one of its key employees (or possibly former employee; it's unclear), Thomas Peters, are going after the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See (Vatican) for simply supporting LGBT equality and...

Video: Nancy Grace's bizarre support for Anita Bryant
This is one of the weirdest things making its way around the LGBT news cycle today. On last night's edition of her eponymous show, HLN host Nancy Grace made a random (but obviously pre-planned, since producers had cued B-roll) reference...

Anti-LGBT non sequitur of the day
Logical flow, per rabidly anti-LGBT partisan pundit Tony Perkins: [@TPerkins] Just hope POTUS doesn't chew gum near Tony. He'll turn it into proof that President Obama no longer cares about teaching babies how to walk.

From the 6/2 edition of "The Janet Mefferd Show": "In American history, when a great injustice or untruth is being forced by the government...or otherwise, people have stood together and marched for the truth, hearkening back to The Civil Rights...

NOM president now literally begging folks to show up to his silly little march
Considering nothing has gone well for the National Organization For Marriage in (at least) two years, I can't imagine they are succeeding in persuading folks to show up in D.C. on a random summer Thursday for a purposeless march that...

Having pretty much lost on 'LGB,' Southern Baptists look to stop 'T'
The Southern Baptist Convention is this week, where it is pretty much guaranteed that many on site will spend considerable time bemoaning their inability to stop the gay rights movement that they've obsessed over since the Carter administration. But of...

American Family Association senior analyst says gay activists have brought back slavery, refers to us as 'massa'

Peter LaBarbera welcomes Pride Month with reminder that gay-accepting America is doomed
The government is preserving landmarks important in LGBT rights history. Just another step toward our inevitable destruction, suggests longtime anti-LGBT activist Peter LaBarbera: "I fear for our country, because when a nation starts celebrating sexual immorality as the norm and...
