In seven states (California, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island and Washington), The National Organization for Marriage have tried to conceal its donors by claiming that said donors would be threatened and intimidated by gays.
And in those seven states, four federal judges and three state boards have declared NOM's claims to be highly vapid.
That's the subject of a very thorough and very pleasing Huffington Post article which examines how NOM has been unsuccessful in pushing the "gays are trying to intimidate us because we believe in traditional marriage" card.
The article points out that the main reason for NOM's losses is the simple fact that neither the judges nor the state boards have been swayed by the evidence it provides of so-called intimidation by the gay community.
In fact, some of the evidence NOM provided is downright laughable. One stand out in particular because it underscores just how empty and pathetic NOM's argument of so-called "gay intimidation is:
When you are done laughing and maybe mopping up your keyboard, check out Amanda Terkel's article and above all, spread it - particularly that "glaring" example of so-called gay intimidation - to your friends and neighbors.
Let them see just how NOM is faking it.

. . . in Washington state, an opponent of marriage equality was collecting petition signatures to challenge a law granting legal protections to same-sex couples, when two ladies "glared at him and one said 'we have feelings too.'" He did not report the incident to the police.

Wow, they think glaring and saying "We have feelings, too" is intimidation? If they're serious, which they're not, then they are pussies. OMG, they glared at me and made a comment to me.
DClark, I want to agree with you, but how about avoiding the denigrating references to female genitalia, please? I happen to own a set, and I don't think they make me weak or cowardly or stupid, as these people are.
US religious conservatives are truly delicate little flowers: when faced with even the quietest of disagreement, they set up the howl that they are "persecuted."
Oh dear me, I've been guilty of making a bigot uncomfortable.
There was the marriage equality hearing one year where the guy sitting next to me made a remark that neither one of the two women was probably the mother of the young child they had with them.
Knowing the two, and knowing one was IN FACT the biological mother, I stated this to him and that maybe he should do a little research before he made asinine statements like that.
You'd have thought I held him down and rubbed shit in his face. He got up in a huff and rushed out of the room.
I have no love for bigots, and my mission is to make them as uncomfortable as I can.
wooow, they gave him a look and stated their own opinions. Call the cops...
Honestly? this is ALL THEY HAVE? I deal with REAL intimidation, as do most all gay people. We can't hold even hold hands in public in most cases without getting evil looks, dirty and REAL hateful words and even verbal or physical threats.
But of course NOM doesn't care about that, because gay people are icky and should be allowed to have feelings or express themselfs.
