Photo Of The Day - NOM Fail Wisconsin
Photo Of The Day - NOM Fail Wisconsin

Hundreds of happy and proud LGBT folks jammed NOM's Hate Tour stop in Madison, Wisconsin today. On the bigots side, a meager 54, according to a head count by the Courage Campaign's NOM Tour Tracker. Lots more photos at the link, with more to come.

1. How can they be NOM if they are against some marriages?
I never understood that.

2. Because they refuse to recognize unions between same-sex couples as valid marriages.
Based on that limitation, flawed as it is, they can be the an organization "for marriage" and still be consistent in their message.

That's my take on it, anyway. :hi:

5. I know what they would say...
...about limitations on marriage and the ugly and absurd comparisons they would make. But the bottom line is they are still against some adults getting married. If this were fifty years ago, they would make the same arguments about interracial marriages.

3. They're going to be here in Atlanta on August 7.
I can't wait to see the continued failure of their media gimmick tour in person. :D

I clicked around their dreadful site, but lost my patience in looking for it.
