“The people of New York want to vote on this issue. They don’t believe the process was either transparent or fair, and it basically stole the right of the people of New York to vote.” – NOM president Brian Brown, riding his crybaby waambulance.

“The Bible clearly teaches that God created marriage between male and female as a divine gift that preserves families and cultures. Since I love and follow Him, I cannot put my signature on something that is against God. Deuteronomy 10:12 says, ‘What does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in …

“Sen. Diaz, you are in my prayers. Three years ago I was the target of the homosexuals because of statements I made regarding the dangers of the homosexual agenda. So I know what you are going through. Continue to stand strong on God’s Word. What the homosexuals mean for evil toward you, God will use for His glory, your good, …

“Recently, a local clerk in upstate New York made headlines when she said she would not issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The Marriage Equality Act provides that an application for a marriage license cannot be denied on the grounds that the applicant parties are of the same sex and the law affords no discretion to public officials charged with …

NOM has announced that it will hold anti-gay hate rallies around New York state on Sunday, July 24th – the first day of legalized same-sex marriage. Will they dare appear at Manhattan’s city clerk office?

“We do worry indeed about this freedom of religion. Editorials already call for the removal of guarantees of religious liberty, with crusaders calling for people of faith to be coerced to acceptance of this redefinition. If the experience of those few other states and countries where this is already law is any indication, the churches, and believers, will soon be …

The impact of the New York vote spreads.

Pam’s House Blend today provides us with the above shot of NOM president Brian Brown moments after the vote in the New York Senate. Boo hoo! Photo of the year, maybe?

So claims NOM on their blog. But here’s what the article they cite really says. New Yorkers United For Marriage, a coalition composed of gay rights groups such as the Empire State Pride Agenda and Marriage Equality New York, and underwritten in part by the Gill Action Fund, reportedly spent $3 million on the spring campaign to pass the marriage …

“[The law] does not protect individuals. It does not protect private business owners. It does not protect, for example, a bed and breakfast owner who is using their own private personal property in the type of intimate setting that a bed and breakfast is. It does not protect licensed professionals. For example, it does not protect counselors. It also does …

“The mistake that straight people made was imposing the monogamous expectation on men. Men were never expected to be monogamous. Men had concubines, mistresses and access to prostitutes, until everybody decided marriage had to be egalitar­ian and fairsey. [Rather than granting women] the same latitude and license and pressure-release valve that men had always enjoyed, we extended to men the …

Savage and Olbermann ran into each other at a performance of The Book Of Mormon and this web-only interview resulted.

At today’s press conference, the president was asked if he believes marriage is a civil right. Obama side-stepped the question and said this: We’ve said that we cannot defend the federal government poking its nose into what states are doing and putting our thumb on the scale against same-sex couples. What I’ve seen happen over the last several years and …

The New York Times has published yet another story critical of the president’s position on marriage equality. Legal scholars say Mr. Obama is correct; regulating marriage is indeed the province of the states — to a point. Federal courts have at times intervened to declare state marriage laws unconstitutional, as was the case in Loving v. Virginia, the landmark 1967 …

But it’s ALL so complicated, Slaggie! We’re putting together a 4-year campaign strategy that will reverse same-sex marriage in New York. We’ll have many more details, and ways for you to get involved, in the days ahead but the overall plan will have three phases: PHASE 1:Elect pro-marriage majorities next November that will approve a marriage amendment in both the …
