NOM Continues to Prove Itself a Hate Group, Not a "protector of Marriage"

Feel the Christian Love?

As often noted on this blog, no one lies more consistently than the self-congratulatory "godly Christian" crowd.  Especially those involved in "family values" organizations or  groups claiming to be motivated solely by a desire to "protect the sanctity of marriage."  The National Organization for Marriage ("NOM") is a case in point.  Instead of focusing on marriage, NOM has been documented to have (i) sought to spread hate and discord between blacks and gays, (ii) supported fraudulent and discredited "ex-gay" therapy, (iii) worked to breed homophobia and the persecution of gays in Russia, and (iv) pretty much repeated every anti-gay lie imaginable.  In the process, of course, NOM has totally ignored the mess heterosexuals have made of marriage.   Jeremy Hooper at Good As You reports on NOM's latest activities to sabotage passage of ENDA that make it clear that NOM is really just another virulent anti-gay hate group.  Any claims to the contrary are simply lies.  Here are excerpts:

The National Organization For Marriage, a once pragmatic organization that was very protective of the idea that it is simply a "traditional marriage" rather than an animus-driven anti-LGBT group, is continue its drift toward full-blown extremism. In yet another piece pertaining to the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, NOM president Brian Brown, who is on apparent break from stirring up ill feelings toward LGBT people in Russia, goes after the U.S. Senate (and particularly the ten Republicans who backed ENDA) for daring to believe that LGBT workers should be judged on the basis of their work performance rather than who they are or who they love:  

"We are very disappointed by the Senate's passage of this bill," said Brian Brown, NOM's President. "While protecting people against discrimination is a very important goal, this legislation is problematic because of its broad and unclear definitions. Concepts like 'sexual orientation' and 'gender identity' are too vague to be a basis for such a law which could lead to individuals facing reprisals or even criminal action simply for expressing their values in the workplace."

"We are disappointed with the Republican Senators who voted for this bill for failing to see its dangerous implications for pro-family Americans. Many of these Senators' constituents hold to traditional values like the belief in marriage as the union of one man and one woman, but ENDA could be a Trojan horse that enables the marriage redefinition agenda to be forced on the entire nation through the courts."

"We will be asking all of NOM's supporters to contact the House of Representatives urging that they reject ENDA," Brown said.

I "love" how sexual orientation and gender identity are supposedly vague, yet Brian thinks the completely chosen, diverse, fluctuating concept of faith is to be protected above all else (*including in workplace protection, where religion is, in fact, protected under federal law).

Now that the cat is so fully out of the bag, we'll have to wait and see if the "for marriage" organization finally changes its name to reflect is patently obvious cause "for discrimination. NOD does have a certain ring to it.

Jeremy is correct.  NOM's real goal is to keep LGBT Americans inferior under the law and to give bigots who hide under the banner of religious freedom to discriminate and disseminate hat at will.   Oh, and let's not forget that Brown and similar hate merchants are pulling down nice salaries well into the six figures by marketing hatred.
