Takedown of NOM’s Lies About Prop 8 (video: stop8org at YouTube) Well done, Matt. Over at http://stop8.org, we see a lot of silly claims about Prop 8, but the new radio ad put out by the National Organization for Marriage last week is just out-and-out deceitful. It’s packed full of lies and misrepresentations, so we [...]

Apparently, the National Organization for Marriage just got the memo. The common sense end of the GOP is about to throw the gay-hating, Bible-banging nutters who hijacked their party under the bus. But don’t pop that cork quite yet. As does anything that issues forth from Queen Maggie and her personal Igor, Brian Brown, this [...]

Will Phillips speaks at Big Commit, the counter demonstration, 15 August (video: Metro Weekly at YouTube) Metro Weekly: Arkansas elementary school student Will Phillips, who made headlines in 2009 when he refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance in class because the nation doesn’t recognize LGBT people as equal, speaks to the Sunday, Aug. 15, [...]

DC- Rowdy NOM religious fanatics (video: NOMTourTracker.com at YouTube) They’re just simple down home folks like you and me, only some of them want folks like you and me executed or denied or deprived of our civil rights. Here are a few fans and followers of the National Organization for Marriage’s fabulous, if poorly attended, [...]

Emergency! Emergency! Must stop those evil California gays from tying the knot. Yawn. Yes on Prop H8 now suddenly claims to have lots of arguments against marriage equality, but, as you read NOM president Brian Brown‘s breathless intro (“I’ve never seen a smackdown of a judge quite like it”), recall that Yes on Prop 8′s [...]

As the ridiculous religious reich pees itself over Judge Vaughn Walker’s Prop H8 decision that labeled the anti-equality ballot initiative “unconstitutional” and as their elected Republic enablers rally for yet another attempt at a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, CNN has some refreshing news about a sea change in public opinion on marriage equality for [...]

“Judge Walker’s ruling overturning Prop 8 is an outrageous disrespect for our Constitution and for the majority of people of the United States who believe marriage is the union of husband and wife. In every state of the union from California to Maine to Georgia, where the people have had a chance to vote they’ve [...]

If an openly gay judge can rule on same-sex marriage, we should just let cases about endangered species be decided by a manatee? (video: The Colbert Report) Why not let cases about the ridiculous religious right be decided by baboons?

Jon Stewart covers the coverage of and reactions to the verdict in the Prop H8 trial (video: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) Delicious. Delightful. Delovely. You gotta love it when the shrewish Maggie Gallagher gets her comeuppance and ends up looking like a stooge — hardly a stretch — before a huge, national audience [...]

Evan Wolfson shines as the ill-mannered Maggie Gallagher lays on the malarkey (video: Anderson Cooper’s 360 via SuchIsLifeVideos at YouTube) (tip: Truth Wins Out) Oh Papa Tooney. We’ve got a Looney.

What has been gushing out of the National Organization for Marriage’s black hole since yesterday afternoon, when Judge Walker declared California’s Prop H8 unconstitutional, is beyond merely insulting. Just how ignorant do these professional anti-gays, like NOM‘s President Brian Brown, really think the American people are? Or, are they just talking amongst themselves? It’s a [...]

Mrs Raman Srivastav — AKA Maggie Gallagher — had her steely mask of propriety ripped away yesterday by Judge Walker’s ruling that California’s discriminatory Prop H8 is unconstitutional, and, holy mother of pearl and hot damn!, if the National Organization for Marriage‘s matriarch hasn’t revealed herself as the unhinged, race-baiting, gay-loathing nut-case most of us [...]

From the National Organization for Marriage — AKA The Losers: “With a stroke of his pen, Judge Walker has overruled the votes and values of 7 million Californians who voted for marriage as one man and one woman. This ruling, if allowed to stand, threatens not only Prop 8 in California but the laws in [...]
