“So in this, my final column, I say my farewell to optimism and my hello to hope. What is the difference? Optimism is a prediction; hope is a virtue. My hope rests on this: The truths to which I’ve dedicated my life, both professionally and personally, are too important to ignore, too foundational to be abandoned, too much a part …

Yesterday Illinois GOP chair Pat Brady began calling Republican legislators to urge them to support the same-sex marriage bill. Today NOM is calling for Brady’s resignation and is vowing to unseat any Republican who heeds his call. The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today pledged to form an Illinois state PAC and spend $250,000 defeating Republican legislators who vote in …

“We have a plan. Several states are being targeted by our opponents for advancing same-sex marriage legislation and NOM will be making sure that the voters in those states know what their legislators are doing, and that those legislators know how their constituents feel. But we need funds to counter the other side’s onslaught of deception and lies. In November, …

In two nearly identical notices, NOM has posted emergency warnings that same-sex marriage is about to be legalized in Illinois and Minnesota.  From the Minnesota post: In November, Minnesotans voted to maintain the status quo on marriage, as Minnesota statutes already recognize marriage as the union of a husband and wife.

“There is also a need to acknowledge and promote the natural structure of marriage as the union of a man and a woman in the face of attempts to make it juridically equivalent to radically different types of union. Such attempts actually harm and help to destabilize marriage, obscuring its specific nature and its indispensable role in society. These principles …

Ugandan Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga, who last month promised the passage of the Anti-Homosexuality Act as a “Christmas gift to Christians,” yesterday appeared in Vatican City to receive the motherfucking blessing of the Pope.

“I pray the court will affirm the fact that the institution of marriage, which is as old as humanity and written in our very nature, is the union of one man and one woman. Marriage is the foundation of a just society, as it protects the most vulnerable among us, children. It is the only institution that unites children with …

“We believe that it is significant that the Supreme Court has taken the Prop 8 case. We believe it is a strong signal that the Court will reverse the lower courts and uphold Proposition 8.

NOMexposed today revealed that Brian Brown’s crew has purchased the above URLs in an apparent plan to sow infighting among LGBT people. Earlier this year secret NOM documents exposed the hate group’s plan to incite anti-gay hatred in the black community.

As you’d guess, this wedding vendor isn’t being “forced” to do anything.  They aren’t even going out of business, despite Brian Brown’s typical lie. An Annapolis wedding vendor plans to ask Maryland’s General Assembly to give his company and others like him the right to refuse services to gay couples on religious grounds. “The law exempts my minister from doing …
