Brian Brown told numerous outlets that attendance at last month’s hate march was 15,000.

Recap: “Oral argument is done, and now we can make a few predictions about how the Supreme Court might rule in June. Texas lawmakers have a plan to stop marriage equality, and they don’t seem to care that their plan isn’t actually legal. And the National Organization for Marriage is insisting that they’ll still exist a year from now.” (Matt …

“Dear Justice Kennedy: Government cannot confer dignity on our relationships. My best friends, my adult children, my godchildren, my brothers and sisters, every single intimate relationship that I have and that gives meaning to my life, government has no role there. To imagine that a government stamp of approval is what creates value in human relationships, or gives dignity to …

From today’s money beg: We have an incredible amount of work to do in the next two months… preparing for the pending decision by the Supreme Court; launching a nationwide effort to pass legislation to protect people from having to participate in same-sex ‘weddings’ in states that have redefined marriage (or in the event that the Supreme Court redefines marriage …

“I am extremely encouraged by the questioning, especially from Justice Kennedy, because it focused on what marriage is. It shows that the justices realize that marriage has existed for millennia and they have no constitutional basis to redefine it. The entire spectacle of the same-sex marriage litigation has undermined confidence in the judicial system as activist federal judges around the …

As we suspected, New York Sen. Ruben Diaz scammed his constituents just like he did last year. Check out the guy at 0:44.

Just in from Brian Brown: On Saturday we had an amazing March for Marriage — our biggest and most successful ever! There were approximately 15,000 marchers present! Thank you to everyone who participated… I will be sending you pictures, videos and news stories about it soon. But first, we still have some work to do. Tomorrow, April 28, 2015, is …

“We’ll have oral argument before the Supreme Court this week. Ted Cruz has introduced two new bills in Congress to stop marriage, but they may backfire on him. And the National Organization for Marriage has lost yet another court case.”

Via Buzzfeed: The National Organization for Marriage is continuing to work towards the creation of an International Organization for Marriage, NOM President Brian Brown told BuzzFeed News in an interview just before the start of NOM’s March for Marriage in Washington on Saturday. Brown has also been working to build formal ties internationally outside of his role at NOM, most …

Talk about last minute.

Over the weekend I noted that San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone’s name was not on NOM’s list of speakers for Saturday’s hate march. Yesterday he confirmed his non-attendance with the San Francisco Chronicle: San Francisco’s Roman Catholic archbishop has decided not to attend this year’s annual march against same-sex marriage in Washington, D.C., avoiding a repeat of an appearance that …

NOM has published the final details for Saturday’s hate march on the Supreme Court. Per their GoFundMe page, they have nearly reached their goal of providing 23 jillion buses and if tradition holds, on Sunday we’ll be provided with photoshopped images stolen from the Pope’s visit to the Philippines. Or something.

“You should know that this coming Saturday, April 25th, 117 buses will take more than 6,000 people to Washington, D.C. These buses are being donated by the National Organization for Marriage, led by my friend, Brian Brown. The buses will leave from all parts of the New York metropolitan area – including Long Island where Apostle Carlos Luis Vargas, President …

Via Oregon Live: The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear one last legal attempt by the National Organization for Marriage to overturn a federal judge’s ruling allowing gays and lesbians to marry in Oregon. The high court’s action came nearly a year after U.S. District Judge Michael McShane of Eugene on May 19, 2014, struck down Oregon’s voter-approved …

From NOM’s hate march GoFundMe page: Thanks for this donation may be directed to Frank P. Conway, Todd C. Allis, and William Duke who inspired us to remove savings for the down payment of our home and instead dedicate it to NOM. Gentlemen, if you are reading this, know that your $1 donation and pro same-sex marriage comments were meant …

“Over the past decade and a half, more than $215 million has been spent on ballot initiatives defending (or trying to overturn) the traditional, biologically rooted definition of marriage. No matter what Justice Ginsburg says, the more than fifty million voters who have spent an immense amount of time and treasure to protect the fundamental nature of the institution of …

Not exactly the A-list, is it? In fact, there’s only one elected official on the roster and that’s Democratic New York state Sen. Ruben Diaz. Also curiously missing from the list is San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, who spoke at last year’s hate march and is currently fighting an internal Catholic revolt back at home.
