NOM: ‘Silent Majority Is Rising Up’ Against ‘Homosexual Lobby’s’ ‘Gay Marriage Thugs’
The New Civil Rights Movement in America ^ | Aug 7 2012 | David Badash

Posted on 08/07/2012 5:51:35 PM PDT by scottjewell

Brian Brown, President of NOM, the National Organization For Marriage, today sent a fundraising email to supporters in which he claimed total credit for Chick-Fil-A‘s multimillion dollar take last week, which Governor Mike Huckabee initiated and fostered.

Stating that the “the silent majority is rising up and rejecting the gay ‘marriage’ lobby’s tactics,” and calling gay people “homosexual thugs and bullies,” NOM has tossed away all claim to not hating gay people, and lost all right to proclaim animus has nothing to do with their opposition to same-sex marriage. This is truly an astounding development, and one I trust legal experts will capture and use in future trials. The question of anti-gay animus is one of several that convinced several federal courts to overturn Prop 8....Prediction: next time the Southern Poverty Law Center releases its updated list of active anti-gay hate groups, NOM, the National Organization For Marriage, will be on the list.

Of course Badash is taking a pro-gay and anti-NOM stance here, but he missed the point that it is not anti-gay animus, but anti-gay agenda animus which is at work. The Southern Poverty Law Center does not require much to put a traditional marriage support group on their list of "hate groups".

I’ve begun to address the homosexual lobby for what it is.

Fascisexual!

Whatever happened to, “We just want to be left alone so we can live our lives in peace and happiness?”

I’ll take a barrel full of that right now!

Addendum: An infographic supposedly showing the many states of marriage proposed by the Bible. Brown and NOM have pointed out that gender differentiation is still present in all these instances (I would agree that nature here is still respected).

That was just a smoke-screen behind which their real agenda was lurking, waiting to be positioned to strike.

NOM has tossed away all claim to not hating gay people, and lost all right to proclaim animus has nothing to do with their opposition to same-sex marriage.

And a long time ago, the homo lobby lost all right to proclaim equal rights was their motive for promoting gay marriage.

Why is it that the pro-marriage majority has to be spotless, while the homos can indulge in every kind of hate and smear imaginable, then pretend to be offended when they meet with an equal resistance? Sorry, but that hypocrisy won't fly any more.

Absolutely correct. The hypocrisy and double-standard are now blatant. In addition, it is most definitely NOT “anti-gay animus” which is driving Brian Brown and NOM, but rather, fed-upness with a militant gay agenda.

And yes, not equal rights, but the desire to replace us, drives the gay agenda.

I agree.

I took a look at your graphic, and it does touch on some things that look pretty bad by today’s standards, but those people weren’t living in our society and things didn’t work the way they do today.

Some of those things that look bad, are not exactly what they seem. For instance if your brother died and left a wife, she would be destitute in no time, if you didn’t take her under your roof.

Some of the others are less defensible, but one must keep in mind what societies were like in those days.

The one concerning rape seemed really bad to me. A guy defiles you, and you have to go live with him. Sounds like some tag game we used to play as kids, only with a very evil twist.

If a guy defiled a virgin, it would seem he should be put to death.

How long will it be before you’re a hater (and unlawful) if you won’t have a homosexual relationship?

"Absolutely correct. The hypocrisy and double-standard are now blatant."

So how is that different from the leftist tactic on any other issue??? Hypocrisy and double standards are just normal for the left.

“Gay Manifesto” posted here. After this was made public, gays claimed it was ‘satire.’ Judge for yourself:

The poster fails to differentiate between the descriptive and the prescriptive.

“In those days, apparently a women would rather be married to a rottweiler than be single. So what the Torah is saying he has to marry her, and he is unable to divorce her. However, she his no obligation to remain with him if she does not want to.”

Some of those situations were done without God’s blessing. Just cause it happens in the bible doesn’t mean it was done with blessing. It is a book with good and bad stories designed to describe the way God wants us to behave and carry ourselves.

Persevero, I appreciate that point. I wasn’t aware the woman could opt out. In that age, men were the providers. Women needed to connect with one, and the more wealthy the better. Once she was deflowered, other men would have avoided her.

That’s why Joseph’s actions with Mary were considered to be so abnormal. Generally the marriage would have been called off.

He was approached by an Angel, and told what was going to take place. When it did, he stood by her.

Although not quite as bad as in the olden days, in some Middle-Eastern countries the customs seem to have held close to the way things were handled thousands of years ago.

I feel for the young women in those countries.

I agree with that. In the worst instances it was more of a best case scenario on how to deal with those situations. As you mentioned, this would cause others to try to avoid doing these things.

“NOM has tossed away all claim to not hating gay people, and lost all right to proclaim animus has nothing to do with their opposition to same-sex marriage.”

Translation:

(Foot Stomp) “You’re so mean!”

My response- you want a time out or the wooden spoon?

Yes, guess that has always been their only modus operendi.
