National Organization for Marriage's anti-gay project is a colossal failure



From Equality Matters comes proof that the National Organization for Marriage's "big project," the Marriage Anti-Defamation Alliance, is not only tanking but also revealing the duplicity of NOM's claims gays being bullies:

Last September, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) launched the Marriage Anti-Defamation Alliance, a website dedicated to documenting Americans who’ve had their “rights and dignity” denied by supporters of marriage equality.

 . . .  As of today, however, it’s been nearly two months since NOM’s Marriage ADA has posted a new video. The site has posted a total of nine videos since September -- roughly two a month -- and few if any of those videos depicted instances of actual defamation.

 . . .out of NOM’s nine Marriage ADA stories, three weren’t about marriage, three were from a different country, and zero demonstrated an instance of actual “defamation.” It should come as no surprise that NOM had such a difficult time finding any compelling evidence that opponents of marriage equality were having their “rights and dignity” threatened and denied. NOM’s “gays as bullies” narrative has already been exposed and rejected by a number of judges and courts across the country. Though the group hailed Marriage ADA as a “huge new step” to restoring civility to the debate over same-sex marriage, the project seems to have sputtered into little more than an expensive example of how dishonest NOM’s self-victimization meme really is.

it's just so sad, they never have any compelling evidence to show that homosexuality would do any harm to them or anything and yet, they still keep spreading their hate and lies.

The Orwellian language of NOM includes even their name - they are an organization AGAINST marriage, not for marriage. There is nothing that they do to support marriage. By passing on lies in the name of religion, they undermine their religion.

Only goes to show what a lot of us have known about NOM from the beginning. They are all about spinning it to appear as a victim in order to garner sympathy for their 'cause'.

And I suspect we'll see the man behind the curtain shortly as NOM is losing the ability to hide it's donors.

I wonder what will happen if the day comes when marriage equality is the law of the land. Will NOM just dry up and blow away?
