NOM president Brian Brown spoke to the Advocate’s Kerry Eleveld about Ken Mehlman. Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, told The Advocate that Mehlman was “abdicating core Republican beliefs” in his support for AFER’s legal effort in challenging Prop. 8. “But it’s never been about the leaders. It’s always been about the people, based on an overwhelming …

Selective editing, lies, and vilification. Anybody surprised?

NOM has lost yet another court battle to cloak the names of their donors in Maine. Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, said Thursday his group is disappointed in the ruling, but feels its arguments will hold sway with an appeals court. NOM will pursue an expedited appeal to the U.S. First Circuit Court in Boston, he …

Things got very heated when NOM’s Brian Brown finally met the Courage Campaign’s Rick Jacobs at the final stop on NOM’s Hate Tour in DC. WATCH THIS.

I believe this is the conversation that we could hear in the background during NOM’s live stream from DC on Sunday. (Via Alvin McEwen at Pam’s House Blend)

Buzzfeed has the other nine.

At the second-to-last stop on NOM’s Hate Tour, the red-caped nutjobs from the Catholic American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property showed up to spew their usual bile. Listen as their baby-faced rep connects same-sex marriage to bestiality and declares that single-parent families are not actual families at all.

The final stop on NOM’s national Hate Tour takes place in Washington DC today, where for some reason they are live-streaming the entire thing. It’s supposed to have started at 2pm, but so far there’s hardly anybody there. Shocker. UPDATE: The live stream is concluded.

The anti-NOM rally in DC is this Sunday.

“People have a constitutional right to express themselves as they wish, and that right obviously applies even to people who for some reason have dedicated much of their lives to trying to diminish the lives of others. I do not understand what it is that drives people to spend so much time trying to take away the rights of those …

JMG reader Rob sends us a great photo gallery of yesterday’s NOM Fail™ in Raleigh, where ace blogger Pam Spaulding took on some of her local wingnuts. Read Pam’s hilarious account of her run-in with the mentally ill woman below.

Angered by NOM’s cries of victimization during the national Hate Tour, JMG commenter AdBo sends us his comparison of the signs recently seen at marriage rallies around the nation.

Another winner from JMG reader Rob Tisinai.

And she did it today before an all-time low Hate Tour crowd of FIFTEEN, versus over 250 of the good guys. The Courage Campaign quotes Alveda King: “I don’t know about you but I’m not ready to be extinct,” King said to the crowd after pointing out that “it is statistically proven” that marriage between one man and one woman …

St. Louis’ LGBT title, Vital Voice Magazine, covered yesterday’s Hate Tour stop in their hometown, where NOM blocked them from attending the rally, probably so all those post-overturn red faces couldn’t be recorded.

Probably not, at least according to some GOP flacks speaking to the New York Times. Republicans said that dwelling on the issue could become a distraction in the effort to win back the House or Senate from Democrats this fall. At a meeting of the Republican National Committee in Kansas City, Mo., several party leaders and strategists said it would …

Maggie gets pissed when most of the airtime goes to Freedom To Marry’s Evan Wolfson. Bwah bwah bwahhhhhh.

“They want marriage to be a sick, twisted perversion that would make the Baby Jesus cry. I like to think of Jesus as a baby. Thinking of Jesus with pubic hair is disgusting!”
