A laughably measly 2583 people have signed NOM’s boycott petition for Target since the retail giant submitted pro-gay marriage briefs last week in the states of Wisconsin and Indiana. NOM’s 30-month-old boycott petition for Starbucks has yielded 68,745 names – a number that has scarcely budged in the last two years. Their 25-month-old boycott petition for General Mills petered out …

Discredited, debunked, and denounced researcher Mark Regnerus writes at Public Discourse: Churchgoers who oppose same-sex marriage sense that they are out of step with the rest of the nation about sex and relationships. (The numbers above reinforce that.) And Christians who favor legalizing same-sex marriage often remain embattled with those who oppose it, and yet sense that their own views …

“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 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 …

Brian Brown would like you to know that a whopping 5000 actual human type people have signed NOM’s wildly viral boycott campaign against JPMorgan Chase. And therefore it’s fucking bewildering that a multi-trillion dollar corporation with operations in dozens of nations hasn’t suspended international trading to return his foot-stompy calls. It’s been nearly a week since we announced our boycott …

“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 …

“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. An excerpt: You may have read the completely misleading headline this week: “Children of Same Sex Couples are Happier and Healthier than Peers, …

“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 …

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 …

NOM today announced the launch of a last minute mailer campaign in support of Tea Party candidate and New York Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney, who is running in tomorrow’s GOP US House primary against Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY). NOM is still furious with Hanna for signing onto a 2013 SCOTUS amicus brief in support of the overturn of DOMA. “Richard Hanna …

“Dear Joe, Did you see yesterday’s March for Marriage? What a day it was! Several thousand Americans — people from across the spectrum of America — Men and Women, African Americans and Latinos, Orthodox Jews, Evangelicals and Catholics, young and old — stood together in defense of marriage between one man and one woman. There were people from all over …

Second from the left holding the banner is Ludovine Rochere, the head of France’s anti-gay Manif Pour Tous, which is supported at home by the neo-Nazi National Front Party, whose Holocaust-denying founder has been repeatedly convicted of inciting racial and religious hatred. Last week Pope Francis invited Rochere to a private mass where she presented him with a Manif Pour …

UPDATE: The live stream has concluded. You can watch the full two hours of hysterical ranting here.

Tomorrow we’re gonna hijack the fuck out of that hashtag.
