The National Organization for Marriage takes the cake with this nonsense:
Perhaps the denizens of NOM are living in a bizarro universe because the following statements have not come from supporters of “gay marriage” (marriage equality):
“The idea of same-sex marriage is troubling even to some homosexuals, let alone those who hold a biblical conviction that marriage is intended by the Creator to be between a man and a woman. . . Every time Western civilization seems to reach the bottom, one discovers a new low even farther down the pit. If Western populations don’t wake up, before long they will find themselves all the way in the Lake of Fire with the devil laughing his head off.” – Michael Youssef, televangelist
“This is a really pernicious lie of Satan to say that the gender part of humanity doesn’t really matter because the gender part of humanity is really denying the distinct God imaging in each of us as males and females. We need to understand that as Christians. That’s the biggest thing. The other is that, ‘you know kids don’t really need a mom and a dad they just need any configuration of loving adults who care for them,’ in fact, and this has already been in the case, we all know about what hate speech is, the fact of saying a child needs a mother and a father will be deemed hate speech because that is a statement against same-sex marriage and parenting.” – Glenn T. Stanton, Focus on the Family
“We need to remember that in the time leading up to the Flood what the rabbis teach about the last straw for God before He brought the Flood was when they started writing wedding songs to homosexual marriage and Jesus said that you’ll know the End Times because it will be like the days of Noah. There’s never been a time in the history of the world since before the Flood when homosexual marriage has been open and celebrated, and that’s another sign that I believe that we’re close to the end.” – Scott Lively (Editor’s note – there is NO verse in the Bible which validates Lively’s assertions regarding marriage equality songs and Noah’s flood).

There is also the simple fact that NOM isn’t just anti-same-sex-marriage. They are against gay people existing. Period. If it were up to them there would be forced conversion camps.
See Jennifer Roback Morse’s “expert” “testinomy” in Illinois:

You could fill up many pages with NOM’s execrable lies, slanders, and just plain libels of gay people and we’re supposed to just lie down and take it? I don’t think so. I really hope the SCOTUS bitch-slaps that little fat turd Brian Brown and the rest of the haters in what can only be described as a truly evil organization.
I would love to see someone mount a campaign publicizing some of the things NOM and its allies have said — or even better, how about something nice and simple, like “Dear NOM: If you stop lying about us, we’ll stop telling the truth about you”? (I wish I could claim that one, but I saw it in the comments to a blog post and I’ve forgotten where.)
It would be a lot more accurate if that graphic had “Christianity” in the place of “gay marriage”, but only in the case of NoM and groups like them. They have made “Christian” and “asshole” synonyms. I find that sad even though I’m not religious.
