Organization advocates against same-sex marriage
Published: Monday, September 15th, 2008
In an effort to fulfill what they perceived as a need for a national conservative organization devoted solely to marriage issues, politics professor Robert George and conservative author Maggie Gallagher founded the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) in 2007. Since ...

Ten points to the first person who can tell me where Brian Brown was living and what he was doing this time last year.
It's hard to believe that anyone would want success these days in keeping bigotry alive. I thought this country had moved beyond trying to control the personal lives of its citizens when anti-miscegenation laws were overturned. Will NOM try to re-establish those laws next?
Success would be equality for ALL!
When I say the acronym for this organization, I think of LOLcats.
*see, not say (but I guess either works)
Neither. I know the answer, and anyone else who pays sufficient attention to New Jersey politics does, too.
Shame on you, Robbie George.
Robert George and Maggie Gallagher are anti-academic at best for founding the National Organization for Marriage. Don't they know that the American Psychiatric Ass'n has confirmed that sexual orientation is natural, biologically induced, morally neutral, immutable, neither contagious nor learned, and has no relation to an individuals ability to form deep and lasting relationships, to parent children, to work, or to contribute to society.

When Americas premier child and mental health associations and their expert panels endorse marriage equality, there is thus no ethical reason to discriminate against gay people and their children. On what facts would they base their movement?

Kudos to George and Gallagher for doing this brave and unpopular work. It makes me sad that some people on this message board compare their views to bigotry--it indicates that some liberals out there (as George has often said) simply haven't acquainted themselves with conservative arguments. Bottom line: there are solid, respectable conservative arguments against same-sex marriage that have nothing to do with prejudice. Educate yourselves, people! This is not about open-mindedness or bias--it's about evaluating the merits of competing arguments. Based on the kinds of things I'm reading below, it makes me think this rigor is lost on some...
