Beleaguered National Organization for Marriage Hosts Yet Another Anti-LGBT Rally on Mall

Currently, 195 million Americans support marriage equality. Compare that number to the crowd that turned out today for yet another beleaguered National Organization for Marriage rally on the wrong side of history:





The "March for Marriage" featured some of the most virulently anti-LGBT voices in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to rule against marriage equality in its deliberations this summer.

Sen. Ruben Diaz, Family Research Council Action Executive Director and reality star Josh Duggar, Janet Crouse of the World Congress of Families, radio host Mat Staver, and NOM President Brian Brown were among today's featured speakers, proudly standing on the wrong side of history.



NOM has a long history of giving voice to hate. In its fight against equality, the organization has used racially motivated tactics as strategy, committed numerous campaign ethics violations, and promoted speakers and pundits who accuse LGBT people of child endangerment and abuse and compare marriage equality to Hitler’s Third Reich.
