Last night was not pretty for the anti-gay organization. Voters in Maine, Maryland, and Washington approved and affirmed same sex marriage rights, and Minnesota voters rejected a gay marriage ban. National Organization for Marriage's operatives touted their 32-0 record against gay marriage and WITH THAT they will prevail and deny marriage to gay couples, or so they thought.
But they clearly are not reading the clear writing on the wall and noticing that American voters are no longer interested in their archaic arguments of division (gays vs. blacks for example), hatred, and most importantly, lies.
NOM and company continued throughout the campaign lying to the voters that gay marriage will be forced on children and that religious organizations will have to stop offering adoption services. Besides the lies, these operatives even went to great extremes that undoubtedly had in effect turned people off, from saying gays are "worthy of death" to "gays are too promiscuous to get married" among the huge pile of anti-gay extremist Santorum froth they were spewing.
The Vatican also had vested financial interest in making sure these initiatives do not pass. They now really need to do some soul searching, and literally find Jesus, and stop making gays their enemies.
NOM's influence is clearly shrinking, and for those (few) that actually invested money with NOM to stop gay marriage it is time to ask: why? It is time to consider NOM's relevance to you personally, to your political party, to your state, to your church, and to your country.
Of course, they will not listen. I predict that NOM will no doubt be relegated to one of many small, irrelevant, regional anti-gay groups like GodHatesFags.com and Porno Pete's 'Americans For Truth About Homosexuality' - don't recall these groups? Well, good. That's where these anti-gay groups, like NOM, belong: in the dustbin of forgotten history.
