As same-sex marriages became legal in Minnesota, the anti-gay Minnesota For Marriage (home to Kalley Yanta) yesterday vowed that it will punish gay-friendly legislators during the 2014 election. With the financial help of NOM, of course. Minnesota for Marriage said it will support lawmakers who took politically difficult votes against the gay marriage bill and encourage opposition to those who …

“The battle for marriage as God designed has come to The Land of Enchantment; and it’s your turn to stand in the breach. Every person who believes marriage to be the union of one man and one woman needs to contact Governor Martinez today, urging her and her administration to give their full support to the defense of marriage. As …

Remember how NOM, the Alliance Defense Fund, and other anti-gay groups vowed to defend county clerks who break the law by refusing to issue legal same-sex marriage licenses? Here’s the latest bit of hypocrisy from Brian Brown’s newest money beg: It’s not just ambitious Attorneys General who have decided to take the law into their own hands. Now some local …

“Look at that asshole [Orson Scott Card] that wrote this new Harrison Ford movie [Ender’s Game]. I think that you can have any opinion you want, but at least be willing to take the consequences of your opinion. It’s like, ‘Well, I hope that people will be more understanding,’ or what did he say? ‘More tolerant of my views.’ The …

Man, this thing looks terrible.

“This illegal action by Montgomery County officials is an insult to voters, legislators and the rule of law. We demand that state judges put an immediate end to this lawlessness. In addition, we call on the Pennsylvania Legislature to act immediately to pass a proposed marriage amendment preserving marriage as it has always existed throughout the state’s history as one …

France’s NOM-backed anti-gay marriage group Manif Pour Tous, which is now run by a coalition of far-right violent extremists, some of whom call for a Catholic theocracy in France, is taking their campaign to Italy. Siamo lieti di comunicare che da oggi nasce La Manif pour Tous Italia con l’autorizzazione ed in stretto legame con La Manif pour Tous francese. …

“I feel like we were cheated. Just like I felt as a kid watching the bad guy put a sleeper hold on his opponent, or hitting him below the belt or with the brass knuckles while the referee had his back turned, so have the legal system and politicians cold-cocked the people of California—seven million of whom went to the …

Brian Brown is thrilled. It has been announced that the first Democrat (hopefully of many!) has joined as a cosponsor: Rep. Nick Rahall of West Virginia’s 3rd District! Rep. Rahall’s support proves once again that marriage is an issue that cuts past partisan politics and special interests, speaking universally to our shared common sense principles, such as every child’s right …

The New York Times is accusing Geeks Out of blacklisting Orson Card Scott. This isn’t about stopping the dissemination of antigay sentiments; it’s about isolating Mr. Card and shaming his business partners, thus cutting into their profits. If Mr. Card belongs in quarantine, who’s next? His views were fairly mainstream when the Sunstone article appeared and, unfortunately, are not unusual …

“No part of the story concerns Mr Card’s theories about society in terms of gay issues or homosexual issues. I think he has a right to his opinions and has also made it clear that it was a battle that he fought and lost and would like to get on with the rest of life.” – Harrison Ford, promoting Ender’s …

According to some of Peters’ followers on Twitter, he suffered a broken neck.  Peters is NOM’s communications director and also blogs for Catholic Voice. We wish him well. UPDATE: Other sources are now reporting that Peters was actually injured in a “swimming accident.” LifeSiteNews has not yet followed up on the above tweet. UPDATE II: Here’s a Facebook post from …

“Our opponents and those in the biased media say, ‘It’s inevitable. You can’t win. Give up.’ I couldn’t disagree more! In 2008, I heard the same things when we worked on Prop 8 in California…and we WON! In 2009, I heard the same things when we worked on Question 1 in Maine…and we WON! In 2010, I heard the same …

“You should know that Erick Salgado is the President of the Council of Youth Christian Churches. Not satisfied with the moral, civic, cultural and political status of New York City according to Mr. Salgado, “after careful consultation with his family, with Mr. Gregory Davidzon and others”, Erick Salgado decided to become a candidate in the Democratic Primary for the Office …

Openly gay Oscar winner and activist Dustin Lance Black says he won’t take part in the boycott of Ender’s Game.  Via the New York Times: Not every advocate of gay equality and same-sex marriage is convinced that turning away from “Ender’s Game,” which cost about $110 million to make, is the best way to counter Mr. Card. “No way am …

“As proud longtime supporters of the LGBT community, champions of films ranging from GODS AND MONSTERS to THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER and a Company that is proud to have recognized same-sex unions and domestic partnerships within its employee benefits policies for many years, we obviously do not agree with the personal views of Orson Scott Card and those …

In yesterday’s press release about NOM’s plan to pursue a federal marriage ban, I noticed that Brian Brown claimed that same-sex marriages are still banned in 38 states.  Silly me – I figured that was a typo and didn’t mention the error.  But as NOM’s Thomas Peters explains above in a response to comment on NOM’s blog, California is apparently …

Geeks Out has posted a response to Orson Scott Card’s plea for “tolerance.” This plea for tolerance is perhaps a bridge too far, especially from someone who characterized gay marriage as “the bludgeon [The Left] use to make sure that it becomes illegal to teach traditional values in the schools,” (2012). There’s nothing more democratic and tolerant than a consumer …

NOM still hasn’t responded to Orson Scott Card saying that marriage equality in all 50 states is inevitable and that the issue is now “moot.” But just now they did tweet a link to a story whining that Card has been blacklisted by Hollywood. You’re a best-selling author. Your beloved sci-fi novel that’s been a fan favorite for decades is …
