The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) was formed in 2007 for the purpose of passing California’s Prop 8 prohibiting same-sex marriage. NOM RI was formed sometime between 2008 and early 2010 and announced publicly at the New England Family, Life and Marriage Summit held on February 27, 2010 at the Ocean State Baptist Church in Smithfield.

Placed in charge of NOM RI was Christopher Plante, formerly of Heritage of Rhode Island, a group that foisted a discredited and dangerous “abstinence-until-marriage” sex education program on Rhode Island schools until mysteriously closing up shop in late 2007.
