After last weekend's New York rally to "save marriage," the National Organization for Marriage should drop the false argument of "they call us bigots because we merely want to protect marriage."
No one is buying it any longer.
But just in case the organization will continue this dodge, it may have to become more truthful after May 17.
On NOM's blog is the following event promotion:
Jeremy Hooper already covered the homophobic statements of Pastor Ron Baity, including the one about gays not being normal and gays supposedly promoting perversion in schools.
But what strikes me is the involvement of the Family Research Council.
We are familiar with them, aren't we? That's the group whose member Peter Sprigg expressed the desire for lgbts to be deported out of the United States. He is the same man who wants there to be laws against "homosexual behavior."
Of course Sprigg makes statements like these when he isn't creating distorted studies to denigrate the lgbt community.
Then there is FRC's constant stream of propaganda against the lgbt community. Recently FRC President Tony Perkins compared the lgbt community to terrorists:
Actions like these was a main reason why the Southern Poverty Law Center named FRC an official anti-gay hate group. Granted, NOM didn't make SPLC's list but it was called out for the tactics of its members.
I have a feeling that if NOM keeps on the same road it has been traveling, SPLC will give it "hate group status'' in no time.
I can't wait to see how Maggie Gallagher will spin that one.

From the Family Research Council:
More info at ReturnAmerica.Consequently, we are asking all pastors and church leaders from across the state to bring as many people as possible to Raleigh, NC on May 17, 2011 at 10:30 AM. The Marriage Rally will be held at Halifax Mall located directly behind the Legislative Building.

This has moved from cultural terrorism to corporate terrorism. That's what this is. Now, back in the 80's and early 90's I worked with the state department in anti-terrorism and we trained about fifty different countries in defending against terrorism, and it's, at its base, what terrorism is, it's a strike against the general populace simply to spread fear and intimidation so that they can disrupt and destabilize the system of government. That's what the homosexuals are doing here to the legal system.

ReplyDeleteWow, sounds remarkably like what the FRC and those of their ilk are doing...
