NOM's Brian Brown Plays the Victim Card

[William769]

The president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) wants the followers of his organization to believe that at the heart of marriage equality is a desire to oppress religious people.

In his weekly post on the NOM blog, Brian Brown writes that the fight for same-sex marriage is far devious than it seems:

"The mask of tolerance has been cast aside. We are looking into the face of a movement which wants, in the name of equality, to take away your rights and the rights of millions of decent, loving, law-abiding Americans who 'cling' — yes, I'm not afraid to call it that! — to God, common sense, and the best of America's long traditions of respect for Judeo-Christian values."

While the fight is certain to be a fierce one, Brown reassures his readers that the intolerance of gay people is combatable, that those in favor of marriage equality “can only win if they can get us to accept and internalize the second-class status they propose for us. To accept our own marginalization, to be quiet, to stand down and keep our heads down. To live in fear, instead of acting, with courage, out of hope.”

1. someone in the comment section was thinking the same as i was...

gay marriage is on the bottom of the list of concerns of the people in the usa.

it`s a great way to raise money by those who can`t find honest work.

2. What is devious is people like Brown,

Bachmann, other right-wing nuts using our national stage for a bully pulpit. They can believe what they desire, but to use the rest of the country to try to get their way is beyond the Pale. The media allow them to do this in order to get free advertising. And all of them blast President Obama because he is available to be blamed. Cable news has been the fly in the ointment for a long long time.
