Last week dozen of prominent politicians and faith leaders sent a letter to San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, urging him not to attend NOM’s hate march in Washington DC. Yesterday Cordileone responded to them with a letter of his own. Here’s an excerpt: It gives me assurance that we share a common disdain for harsh and hateful rhetoric. It must …

“In a scathing rebuke of orthodox Catholicism, Rep. Pelosi, who last year won Planned Parenthood’s highest honor, had the audacity to lecture her hometown Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone on the irrelevance of natural marriage. Outraged that Archbishop Cordileone would speak at this week’s March for Marriage in D.C., Pelosi accused him of joining ‘venom masquerading as virtue.’ Meanwhile, what happened to …

“I can think of about a thousand things that Nancy Pelosi and Archbishop Cordileone should have a chat about. Her lecturing her archbishop on the church’s teaching ain’t one of them. The gall of this woman is unbelievable. And what she and dozens of politicians are doing by publicly demanding that the archbishop withdraw from the event should anger us. …

“Dear Joe, I don’t know if you heard the news that came out on Friday of last week, but a Federal judge in the state of Wisconsin has wisely stayed her ruling overturning the state’s constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Her reasoning in staying the decision cited the Supreme Court issuing a …

“On June 19, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone will speak at a Washington rally organized by the National Organization for Marriage. Pelosi is urging him to cancel his plans because the event is not supported by her homosexual friends. Her unmitigated arrogance was on full display when she invoked a remark by Pope Francis. ‘If someone is gay and is …

The Associated Press asked Brian Brown about the inevitable. Brown, in a telephone interview, said his best-case scenario hinged on a future ruling by the Supreme Court upholding the right of states to set their own marriage laws, rather than imposing same-sex marriage nationwide. Such a ruling would strengthen the position of the 31 states that currently ban gay marriage …

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has written to San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone with a demand that he drop out of NOM’s hate march.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has until June 20th to appeal the overturn of the ban on same-sex marriage and NOM is flailing about in typical fashion. The people of Pennsylvania have been denied due process on so many levels when it comes to the marriage debate — it must stop. Take the time today to join our friends at the …

Via press release: Top California and San Francisco officials, along with faith, LGBT and civil rights leaders, have signed an open letter to San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, asking him to cancel his participation in an upcoming march and rally against civil marriage for same-sex couples.

Via the Portland Press Herald: The National Organization for Marriage, the nation’s leading opponent of gay marriage, has filed two retaliatory complaints claiming that its adversaries violated Maine election laws more than four years ago. The complaints against the Human Rights Campaign and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force stem from campaign activity in the 2009 referendum over Maine’s …

“Again, an individual, activist judge is legislating from the bench and trampling on the sovereign will of the people of Wisconsin. This has got to stop, and the only way it will is for the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and protect the democratic process and the rights of the tens of millions of voters who have declared that …

Former NOM communications director Thomas Peters is very upset that the main donor to an LGBT-friendly Catholic group has been “exposed” as Quark founder Tim Gill. And by “exposed,” Peters means “listed on federally required forms.” I’ve been sounding the alarm about Catholics United since 2008. This is the group that, for example, attempted to silence and intimidate priests and …

Clip recap: Wisconsin’s marriage ban is unconstitutional. There’ve been more big defeats for the National Organization for Marriage. Utah officials resist a ruling that they must recognize the marriage licenses that the state issued to gay and lesbian couples last winter. And Pennsylvania voters show their support for the freedom to marry.

“We are disappointed that the US Supreme Court has declined to issue a stay of a federal judge’s order redefining marriage in Oregon. Because the state Attorney General has worked in concert with the plaintiffs to deny the people of Oregon a defense of their state marriage amendment, and because the trial judge refused our request to defend the amendment, …

Via Buzzfeed: The Supreme Court denied the National Organization for Marriage’s attempt to stop same-sex couples from marrying in Oregon. NOM has appealed the trial judge’s decision not to let the group, which is opposed to same-sex couples’ marriage rights, to intervene in the lawsuit challenging Oregon’s ban on such marriages. The 9th Circuit, which is hearing that appeal, denied …

“Not only has the Christian baker been ordered to ‘cease and desist’ from ‘discrimination’ against gay couples, but he and his staff have been ordered to undergo two years of ‘training’ to assure that no further ‘discrimination’ occurs. The baker must report quarterly to the state Civil Right Commission about how it is changing its policies, its “training” progress and …
