The workday is barely an hour old and already the NOM scandal has widened from the gay blogosphere to more mainstream news sites. But we’ve not yet seen any mention from the major networks or newspapers, so if you’ve got contacts at those outlets, send them the word. Hit the headlines for the linked stories.

“NOM’s wedge-strategy memos detail its campaign to funnel money to a handful of African-American clergy in order to attack gay couples and, appallingly, discredit the strong and clear voice of those African-American civil rights champions, such as John Lewis, Julian Bond, and Coretta Scott King, who have stood up for the freedom to marry and the equal civil rights of …

The Human Rights Campaign has published internal NOM communiques that were unsealed today as part of Maine’s investigation into NOM’s finances. Most repulsive is the blatant and grotesque manner in which NOM plots to set minority communities against each other. From a “confidential” report to NOM’s board of directors: “The strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge …

Go sign it. They’re on their way to ten times the number that have signed NOM’s boycott pledge.

On the first full official day of NOM’s boycott, yesterday Starbucks’ stock price plummeted soared by $1.41. SNORK!

Results.

Actually, there are two lies here. First of all, nobody has been “replaced.” This was a special election for an open seat. Secondly (and as I reported yesterday), no winner has been declared and none will be known until at least next week when the absentee ballots are counted. Yet Brian Brown gloats: “This race cements a new relationship between …

Here’s the full clip from NOM’s own channel.

Even though the time stamp shows this is their latest post, NOM has it pushed down below the fold on their blog.

“Unlike our opponents, we do not target whole companies for the actions of an individual business executive in that company. But Starbucks has taken a corporate position in support of redefining marriage for all of society. We will not tolerate an international company attempting to force its misguided values on citizens. The majority of Americans and virtually every consumer in …

Two HUGE defeats for NOM on the same day! Freedom To Marry exults via press release: Today, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted down legislation that would have repealed the state’s two-year-old freedom to marry law along with a key vote to defeat the Bates Amendment, which would have forced a non-binding referendum on marriage onto the November ballot …

“Any decision of this type or magnitude has be made with great thoughtfulness and I would assure you that a senior team at Starbucks discussed this. To be very candid with you, this was not something that was a difficult decision for us and we did share this with the board as well. [snip] We made that decision, in our …

New Hampshire marriage equality advocate Craig Stowell is the straight brother of longtime JMG participant Calvin Stowell, who tweeted us a heads-up to today’s MSNBC appearance. Ever the king of hypocrisy, Brian Brown denounces “out of state influence groups” for interfering with New Hampshire marriage.

The special election to replace soon-to-be imprisoned NY Sen. Carl Kruger is too close to call, even with 100% of yesterday’s votes counted. Election official say they must now wade through the 2000 absentee ballots before declaring a winner. Even though Kruger’s district will vanish next year, NOM plunged into the election and paid for ads in Brooklyn’s Jewish press, …

“It is prohibited to vote for Lew Fidler!” And NOM is thrilled about it. The Flatbush Journal claims a circulation of 100,000. UPDATE: Eagle-eyed Jeremy Hooper pounces on the miniscule type at the top of the page: “Special Advertising Supplement.” Wanna guess who is actually behind that?

The very hate group that has gone to federal court over and over to cloak the identity of their donors is now telling clueless New Hampshire voters that mysterious gay billionaires secretly bribed gay marriage into existence. They are beyond shameless.

“We are excited to finally begin this referendum petition drive and look forward to working alongside Preserve Marriage WA to collect the required signatures to put marriage on the ballot. We are confident that voters will have a chance to vote on redefining marriage, and they will reject it, just as voters in 31 other states have done. We call …
