I have long had the gut feeling that the National Organization for Marriage ("NOM") is actually a front organization doing much of the dirty work for the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy's jihad against LGBT individuals. This relationship would certainly explain NOM's strenuous - almost hysterical - efforts to keep the sources of its funding secret. Just imagine if it were documented that the Catholic bishops were pouring millions of dollars into efforts to influence legislation and oppose candidates for political office. It could mean the Church - or at least many diocese - could be looking at a loss of their tax-exempt status for clear violations of the restrictions of Sec. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Now that General Mills has come out in opposition to the Minnesota constitutional amendment to make LGBT Minnesotans inferior citizens, NOM has launched a boycott against the food giant. But, as my blogger friend Jeremy Hooper happened to discover NOM may have screwed up and helped confirm the NOM/Catholic Church connection. Here's Jeremy's comments on his discovery revealed in the image below:
[I]f one looks at the HTML code [of NOM's laughably ill-advised Dump General Mills petition], he or she will see this hidden text:

One can only hope that this relationship will be investigated by the IRS and appropriate steps taken to revoke tax-exempt status for the diocese of Washington, D.C., and any other diocese and Church affiliated tax-exempt organizations implicated in violations of the Internal Revenue Code.What, is Cardinal Wuerl a Kellogg's fan? Or is it that this uber Catholic organization is finally starting to own the real, really faith-based thinking that has always guided its resistance to civil marriage equality?
