“Hope necessarily drew the Wise Men from the East to glorify the newly born Savior… but the people of Bethlehem didn’t see that — they only saw the vindictive and brutal retaliation of King Herod. You and I are often very much like those poor townsfolk, who see only the brutality without seeing the underlying magnificence of God’s blessings. These …

“Though seemingly confined to how Ohio’s death certificates treat so-called same-sex ‘marriages’ performed elsewhere, the ruling is utterly unlawful and violates the sovereignty of the people of Ohio. We call on the state to appeal the ruling of this activist judge. In the DOMA case, the US Supreme Court specifically ruled that it is the right of the states to …

“As you have undoubtedly heard, the special-interest homosexual group GLAAD launched their campaign to bully A&E networks into suspending Ducky Dynasty star Phil Robertson from his own show simply for honestly answering questions put to him in an interview with GQ magazine about the tenets of his faith. It clearly demonstrates how intensely aggressive and intolerant the radicals pushing the …

“This ruling is a travesty of justice. The voters of Utah made their will in this matter perfectly clear less than 10 years ago when adopting an amendment to the state constitution defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. This ruling should concern every American who cares about the rights of citizens and their involvement in …

“For GLAAD, of all groups, to demand for A&E to punish him [Phil Robertson] for these words manifests an irony that would almost be funny if it wasn’t so offensive. The same organization, GLAAD, has awarded and celebrated the gay blogger, Joe Jervis (of the famous gay blog, Joe.My.G*d). Apart from the blasphemous and offensive title of his blog, Jervis …

“Today’s opinion by the New Mexico Supreme Court is disappointing but not surprising. These are the same justices that demanded in an earlier ruling that Christians be the ones to compromise and deny their faith, in the case of Elane Photography. Once again, activists judges have thrown out the historic legal understanding of marriage in New Mexico. This is a …

Reality television is about as far-flung from the mission of NOM as it can get, but that hasn’t stopped them from opportunistically jumping on the outrage train. Hate group leader Brian Brown writes: Do we want to live in a country where we cannot express something we believe so sincerely and feel so strongly without fear of reprisals, bullying, and …

“There’s no doubt that the arguments for same-sex marriage were a template for this case. Once marriage is determined to be primarily about providing government recognition and benefits for loving, committed relationships, there is simply no principled way not to extend ‘marriage’ to everyone, no matter the nature of their relationship. People in polygamist, plural marriages are just a short …

“I challenge any same-sex marriage activist to take to their blog or to pen an op-ed doubling down on the opinion that what cake decorators and bakers do isn’t a form of artistry and doesn’t deserve protections as a form of expression! And I’d be willing to bet if this case had involved a portrait painter, or a photographer, or …

“Dear Joe, We’re striving for 51. What would it mean if we had 51 US senators who supported marriage as the union of one man and one woman to go along with the majority of US House members we already have? It means we would be able to move forward legislation such as the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act, which …

Yes, Ruth Institute. You ARE bigorts.

“I wanted to stack up some numbers for you to let you know where marriage in America stands as of this moment: States that currently define marriage as the union of one man and one woman: 34. States that have state constitutional amendments protecting that definition: 30. States that have redefined marriage to include homosexual couples: 16. Of those 16 …

“Kudos to Croatia! The people of Croatia also did something remarkable to preserve marriage. A group called ‘In the Name of the Family’ led an initiative to place a pro-marriage ballot measure before the voters of the small Balkan nation. Croats went to the polls on Sunday and voted overwhelmingly in favor of marriage as the union of one man …

Last month NOM spun off the Ruth Institute into a stand-alone hate group. Today’s poll is here. (Tipped by JMG reader Myles)

“It’s been a tough year for those of us who labor to preserve true marriage, but I am still thankful for so many things. First, I am thankful for the struggle that we’re in the midst of experiencing. Though we’ve suffered some losses, they have been hard-fought and close. I’m thankful for all those who stood with us in the …

“Dear Joe, When history looks back on the 2012-2013 legislative year, I believe it will be remembered as the year Americans realized the same-sex marriage movement for what it truly is: a bullying behemoth that puts the very foundations of our democracy at stake. From the earliest days of the marriage battle in our country, the other side has claimed …

It looks like Charity Buzz has pulled the auction to have crackpot Orson Scott Card speak to a high school. I don’t know why, the bidding had soared to $0.00. Snork! UPDATE: Credit for the auction being yanked goes to Back2Stonewall blogger Will Kohler, who wrote to the RFK Center For Human Rights and got this response: Dear Will: The …

NOM’s attorneys have sent archenemy Fred Karger the above letter (dated November 1st, but only just received) in which they demand that he not destroy any information he may have regarding the leaking of their tax return to the Human Rights Campaign, where Karger does not work. Via press release from Karger: Exactly four years ago Karger filed charges against …

Clip recap: Marriage equality is law in Illinois, but questions remain over when marriages can actually start. Virginia voters could have a chance to overturn that state’s marriage ban, and polling is surprisingly strong. Lawsuits advance this week in Pennsylvania and Tennessee, and there’s more bad news for the National Organization for Marriage.
