“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 …

Saying he would “make a good politician” and calling him “extremely polished,” Newsweek has published a glowing puff piece on NOM’s Brian Brown which opens with a description of the hate mail Brown says he’s received. Brian Brown’s hate mail is divided into two categories: messages that go straight to the police and those he dumps into a growing computer …

Good As You’s Jeremy Hooper takes yesterday’s gloat-fest from Brian Brown back to the century from which it came.

Iowa’s Supreme Court justices have been ousted thanks to NOM’s campaign of lies and religious bigotry and their outright refusal to abide by state campaign finance laws. And with NOM’s money, New Hampshire has seen a large number of anti-gay GOP state legislators swept into office. Therefore Brian Brown, who fucking literally should be in jail in numerous states, is …

NOM’s Brian Brown is excitedly tweeting photos from their Iowa Hate Bus Tour, which launches today with wingnut GOP Rep. Steve King on board.

NOM doesn’t want anybody to know who is paying for their ads supporting Carl Paladino. Therefore they have sued the state of New York to evade campaign finance disclosure laws, a tactic they have used in seven other states. Buffalo News reports: The National Organization for Marriage doesn’t want to conform to state election laws requiring it to register as …

Brian Brown is crowing that the HRC’s NOM Exposed website actually helped NOM in an online fundraising drive. The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today thanked the Human Rights Campaign for its NOMexposed.org website, leading to the successful completion of the most ambitious online fundraising drive in NOM’s history. “I had to laugh when I first saw HRC’s new website, …

In response to the Human Rights Campaign’s NOM Exposed website, NOM has created Exposing NOM Exposed. NOM’s Brian Brown cackles: Sometimes you just have to have a good belly laugh. Don’t get me wrong—the work we are doing is serious and important. But when the largest same-sex marriage group in the nation, with its annual budget of $40 million, decides …

The Courage Campaign reports that sixties folk music star Peter Yarrow is NOT happy that NOM has been playing Peter, Paul & Mary’s cover of This Land Is Your Land at NOM’s hate rallies. Yarrow has sent Brian Brown a cease and desist letter. I bet NOM doesn’t even know that Woody Guthrie wrote This Land as an counterpoint to …

NOM president Brian Brown spoke to the Advocate’s Kerry Eleveld about Ken Mehlman. Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, told The Advocate that Mehlman was “abdicating core Republican beliefs” in his support for AFER’s legal effort in challenging Prop. 8. “But it’s never been about the leaders. It’s always been about the people, based on an overwhelming …

Selective editing, lies, and vilification. Anybody surprised?

Things got very heated when NOM’s Brian Brown finally met the Courage Campaign’s Rick Jacobs at the final stop on NOM’s Hate Tour in DC. WATCH THIS.

Probably not, at least according to some GOP flacks speaking to the New York Times. Republicans said that dwelling on the issue could become a distraction in the effort to win back the House or Senate from Democrats this fall. At a meeting of the Republican National Committee in Kansas City, Mo., several party leaders and strategists said it would …

“Many expect this case ultimately to be decided by the United States Supreme Court. In less than two years — before the 2012 elections — we could be facing a Roe v. Wade-like ruling on marriage from the Supreme Court, striking down the marriage laws of 45 states, forcing same-sex marriage on the entire nation. “I can’t put it more …

NOM is EVER so pissed that people are calling them out for holding anti-gay rallies in which supporters freely wave signs calling for the murder of LGBT people. “The New Hampshire Democratic Party has slurred NOM’s good name and the good people of New Hampshire who rightly believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman,” said …

Adam Bink writes on NOM Tour Tracker: Notice that Brown refuses to answer virtually all the questions on the grounds that he doesn’t accept the nature of the questions because he if answers it in the hypothetical, it somehow means he accepts the right of same-sex couples to wed. Translation: If Brown affirms what Blankenhorn affirms, it would box him …

“Gay marriage advocates were trying to do an end-run around the normal legal process, and the New Jersey Supreme Court refused to comply. The sense of entitlement among gay marriage advocates is growing so rapidly, it was always absurd to think that the judges would skip the normal steps. Under Governor Christie the state will actually try to defend the …

NOM’s Brian Brown tweets from Providence, Rhode Island: “Is this how a civil rights movement behaves? Gay activists storm our podium to shout us down. Fail.” Yesterday the NOMbies complained that gay activists were bringing their (leashed and elderly) dogs to the rallies as a “bullying tactic” and that they wouldn’t move to unblock the view of a nursing mother. …
