“Dear Marriage Supporter, On Tuesday, the retail giant Target signed on to an amicus brief for the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in two pending cases challenging the definition of marriage in Indiana and Wisconsin. Target joins with a number of other companies in signing the brief, including the Starbucks Coffee Company. But it is the spirit behind the brief, …

“There are hundreds of documented cases of harassment by LGBT activists against Christians and other people of faith who support traditional values, and scant evidence of such incidents against lesbians and gays. Yet cities like Houston pursue special ‘nondiscrimination” ordinances, Congress is being pressured to pass “nondiscrimination’ statutes and President Obama has issued an executive order on the subject. Meanwhile, …

The Guardian has interviewed hate group leader Brian Brown about the unbroken string of court victories for same-sex marriage. “We’re not going away,” Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, told the Guardian. “We’ve been hearing about our demise for the last 15 years. It hasn’t happened, and it’s not going to happen, even if the [US supreme] …

“We keep making the argument of the importance of marriage, that it takes a man and a woman to make a child and that the state can’t continue to redefine that if civilization’s policy goal is to support families rather than water down marriage to be about any adult relationship. These judges keep saying that’s not what marriage is. Based …

“We are extremely disappointed, though not surprised, with today’s ruling from the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals invalidating the definition of marriage in Virginia. It is a terrible abuse of power for a court to abandon the definition of marriage which has existed throughout the history of the Commonwealth of Virginia, was adopted by the people and reflects in law …

Fitting that Hillary visited Twitter HQ today, her accomplishments would easily fit well under 140 characters. — Jeff Miller (@CurtJester) July 22, 2014

“The fact is that non-discrimination rules like the order issued by President Obama can become a weapon used to punish and harass individuals and groups who support marriage as the union of one man and one woman. As with the flawed ENDA legislation that was rejected by Congress, President Obama’s order has the great potential of putting employers in the …

“The imposition of a definition of marriage that destroys the natural meaning of marital union is becoming another test case for religious liberty. The law now holds that men and women are interchangeable in marriage, as if children did not need both a mother and a father to be born and raised with some security. These are laws that mark …

“Dear Joe, This is the smoking gun. NOM has obtained new evidence that shows Chase bank not only violated its employees’ privacy with invasive and inappropriate questions on an employee survey aimed at pushing an LGBT agenda, but that the company has lied to consumers and its own employees about the now infamous questions. Today, NOM is launching an international …

NOM chairman Brian Brown rarely responds to anybody on Twitter, but this morning he couldn’t resist the above image posted by activist Scott Wooledge, who was reacting to a screed posted yesterday by Brown on NOM’s blog.

After discredited researcher Mark Regnerus was eviscerated by a Michigan judge back in March, citations of his debunked study seemed to fade away. But yesterday the study was cited in the Liberty Counsel’s amicus brief in one of Florida’s marriage cases. And also yesterday there was this from NOM:  The study showed that there are “consistent differences among young adults …

“This new development at [JP Morgan] Chase of actively inquiring of every employee whether they support the LGBT community is an egregious invasion of privacy, one that has the potential to be used to punish and intimidate those who refuse to answer the question in the politically-approved way. Will the responses be covered in employee performance interviews? Will they be …

It took NOM more than two days to publicly react to the Kentucky ruling. From their blog: Stunningly, a single judge has decided that his opinion can override the votes of 75 percent of Kentuckians, who approved a constitutional amendment protecting marriage in 2004. According to Heyburn, there is an “utter lack of logical relation between the exclusion of same-sex …

Former NOM chairman Robert George claims that JP Morgan Chase is threatening non-gay employees via a question reportedly added to its annual staff survey. According to Breitbart, the new question asks staffers to indicate if they are “an ally of the LGBT community, but not personally identifying as LGBT.” This employee was alarmed to receive the final question. If he …

The World Congress of Families, an international coalition of anti-gay hate groups, will bring its annual convention to Salt Lake City next year.

Via the Bangor Daily News: The Maine Ethics Commission gave the National Organization for Marriage a reprieve Wednesday on disclosing the donor list from its 2009 campaign against same-sex marriage in Maine. But the five-person commission did not back down on its demand for the national organization to pay a $50,250 fine for violating the state’s campaign finance and disclosure …

“Today’s split decision of a panel of judges in the 10th Circuit is not surprising given that this Circuit refused to even order a stay of the district court decision when it came down during the Christmas holidays. While we strongly disagree with the two judges in the majority, we are encouraged by the strong defense of marriage articulated by …

On Monday NOM announced a last minute flyer campaign against US Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY), who had signed a SCOTUS brief in support of the repeal of DOMA. Brian Brown’s pet teabagger lost her primary bid to unseat Hanna last night. Hanna defeated Tenney 53 percent (15,135) to 47 percent (13,503) in the district that covers eight counties to the …
