NOM’s tour bus uses stock photos

In other words they aren’t actual families but a simulacrum thereof.

I’ll let you in on a little secret. The most fervent supporters of the National Organization for Marriage (There’s that oxymoron again!) are over the age of 65. Not only that, in this area they’re mostly Catholic.

Time and again it’s been shown that if you look at the 18 to 29 group, they are the most supportive of full and equal rights for LGBT people. In fact the only group that shows major opposition to such full and equal rights is those 65 and older.

I guess they’re of that age when they start thinking more about their mortality and how their view of the world should predominate. I call bullshit on that. Maybe it’s because I’m a rabid atheist, or because I’m gay and think that the so called ‘laws’ preventing me from the full measure of rights are ridiculous.

But I think the reason NOM is doing their ‘National’ tour is because great strides are being made in extending the full measure of rights to LGBT and the likes of Maggie “The Loathsome” Gallagher and Brian “Pumpkin Face” Brown can’t stand that their religious dogma is being ‘violated’.

The reason I single quoted the word ‘National’ is because it really isn’t a national tour by any stretch of a reasonable definition. It’s just to those states that are either on the tip of passing marriage equality, or in states where NOM has used it’s bigoted position to repeal marriage equality (Maine anyone?)

So my message to Mags and Brian – stick it where the sun don’t shine. And to Thomas Tobin, the bishop of RI, minister to your congregation instead of coming out to repress my equal rights.
