By: Pam Spaulding Monday April 9, 2012 2:30 pm

Glad to see this; the President recently came out against North Carolina’s Amendment One. (MetroWeekly): If there was any question whether the March 16 statement by North Carolina Obama campaign spokesman Cameron French stating the Obama campaign’s specific opposition to the marriage amendment there was an intentional move to take a stand on the issue in [...]

Websites of “Local” Anti-Marriage Organizations Look Suspiciously Uniform

By: Laurel Ramseyer Tuesday March 27, 2012 4:27 pm

Ever notice how uniform the websites of “local” anti-marriage equality organizations are? Below are screen shots from currently-active anti-marriage equality organizations from the far-flung states of North Carolina, Minnesota and Washington. Here are just a few of the elements that these websites have in common: A stock photo depicting a white heterosexual couple with a [...]

National Organization for Marriage Denies the Existence of Same-Sex Families in Minnesota

By: Laurel Ramseyer Monday March 26, 2012 3:45 pm

When you have to deny the existence of real families to make your argument, you’ve got no argument. National Organization for Marriage’s rationale for banning Minnesota’s same-sex couples from access to civil marriage licenses reads like this: “[M]arriage is a special relationship reserved exclusively for heterosexual unions because only the intimate relationship between men and [...]

Shall we vote on alleged adulterer, hypocrite and anti-gay MN lawmaker Amy Koch’s marriage?

By: Pam Spaulding Tuesday December 20, 2011 3:43 pm

Why not? The state of Minnesota, like North Carolina, faces a marriage discrimination amendment at the polls in 2012. Minnesota Senate Majority Leader (er, former) Amy Koch (R, no surprise) had no trouble supporting legislation that would bar same-sex couples from civil marriage. It looks like she was “pulling a Newt” regarding own domestic legal [...]

NOM taps Teabagger attorney Cleta Mitchell to lobby for Minnesota marriage amendment

By: Pam Spaulding Thursday November 3, 2011 8:18 pm

Does NOM know the high-powered attorney and GOP bigwig was married to a gay man? It might explain a lot about her rabid homophobia. I was not surprised in the least that the anti-LGBT goons at the National Organization for Marriage would hook up with Tea party lawyer Cleta Mitchell to handle the gladhanding/influence peddling [...]

By: Alvin McEwen Monday October 31, 2011 6:52 am

Earlier this month when Minnesota Archbishop John Nienstedt sent out a letter urging every Catholic church in the state to create ad-hoc committees that would work to pass a constitutional amendment against marriage equality, he caused a deserved uproar regarding the idea that a tax-exempt entity would take such an aggressive role in a political [...]

By: Alvin McEwen Tuesday October 18, 2011 6:36 am

Minneosta Archbishop John Nienstedt The Catholic Church in Minnesota is continuing a dangerous precedent: Archbishop John Nienstedt sent a letter to every priest in the state at the start of October urging them to put every Catholic church in Minnesota to work passing a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. “It is imperative that we marshal [...]

It’s time for the ‘we need to protect marriage’ con to die

By: Alvin McEwen Wednesday September 14, 2011 6:30 am

Here we go again. The North Carolina Legislature has passed a bill to allow its citizens to vote on a state constitutional amendment against gay marriage. The majority of folks in NC are against this amendment but that is considered a minor detail by the organizations and people pushing it. They are always quick to [...]

NOM loses badly at Minnesota State Fair

By: Alvin McEwen Wednesday September 7, 2011 6:56 am

If a poll at the Minnesota State Fair is a preview of things to come, then the National Organization for Marriage has a lot of work to do in its effort to completely ban marriage equality in the state. Even after a controversy which saw the NOM backed group, Minnesotans for Marriage (as long as [...]
