Aw, I'm so sad...Brian Brown Is Ever So Pissed About NOM Being Labeled A Hate Group
Brian Brown Is Ever So Pissed About NOM Being Labeled A Hate Group

"This is an absurd distraction emanating from a once-great organization’s real mission---with all the actual hate groups out there, how can Southern Poverty Law Center stoop so low? This report is not an attack on NOM but on the majority of Americans who believe that to make a marriage you need a husband and wife. It is also further proof of what NOM has been saying: today’s gay marriage movement is no longer about tolerance, live or let live—it’s about driving out dissenting voices from the public square.

"Gay marriage now serves as the tip of the spear to a new campaign to demonize and generate hatred against those who adhere to traditional views of sex and marriage. Regular readers of NOM’s work know how we characterize gay people: those who support our vision of marriage, we welcome to join our work. For gay marriage advocates (the majority of whom are not gay) we say: we think you are wrong, and we will fight for our right to vote for marriage in the public square." - NOM president Brian Brown.

I'm sad that Mr. Brown is hurt because his venomous words and lies are being called out for what they are. No, really. Stop laughing.

1. What is NOM?
Edited on Thu Nov-25-10 04:20 PM by truedelphi
And are most Fundie preachers now given an instruction booklet on all these key issues?

1) Fear (don't hate) the Muslims to the point that their countries can be blown off the face of the globe.

2): Fear (don't hate) gays to the point that they can commit suicide, be beaten up, et al.

What is it with the Fundie movement?

Let me point out, I see the preachers as creating hatred, but their followers point out repeatedly that they don't hate, they only FEAR those two groups.

Any instructive responses appreciated.

3. Dear, dear...the SPLC's correct designation of these hate groups have touched a serious nerve
Hatemonger Tony Perkins of the hate group Family Research Council is demanding an apology:

http://advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2010/11/25/Family_Research_Council_Demands_Apology/

These are hate groups. Period. Their sole purpose in existence is spreading hate and lies. Denying us every single legal recognition we are entitled to. They spend millions of dollars going around the country to do this. Jesus, one of the members of NOM's board of directors is a man named Orson Scott Card. I think we're all aware of the vicious homophobia the vile Orson Scott Card represents.

Case in point with NOM...they are in Illinois right now, trying to defeat the civil unions bill coming up for a vote next week. Using the same lies about us they've used again and again and again.

I wish these hate groups would leave us alone.

BTW: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your partner, Will. And to all here.

5. Just took a quick look
@ NOM's website. Who funds them? They are bragging about ads they air(their anti-Boxer ad is still up on their site). That is not cheap. Is this another Koch sponsored astro-turf?

6. Rent this film when you get a chance:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8:_The_Mormon_Proposition

This excellent film discloses that a lot of the funding for NOM is through the Mormon Church.

9. The Sad Thing Is...
They aren't going to stop. I don't know why they have so much a problem with something that won't affect their lives. Happy Belated T-Day to everyone here.
