NOM: ‘Gay marriage billionaires’ using class warfare for ‘re-defining marriage’
The president of one of the country’s most prominent anti-same sex marriage organizations recently played the “class warfare” card and warned that “gay marriage billionaires” were “re-defining marriage for everyone” by working with President Barack Obama and other politicians “who are all too willing to take the gay lobby’s money…
Same-sex marriage, gay adoption allowed in France from 2013
PARIS — Gay couples in France will be allowed to get married and to adopt children from next year, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault announced Tuesday. “In the first half of 2013, the right to marriage and adoption will be open to all couples, without discrimination,” he told parliament, confirming an…
The Junior Anti-Sex League Gets Bolder
Via Thers at Eschaton, I see that Maggie Gallagher continues the right wing trend of late of increasingly being upfront about their anti-sex beliefs instead of hiding their true agenda under euphemisms like “pro-life” or “traditional marriage”.

More importantly, there’s an all-time low in opposition, down to 39%. This polling data was taken two weeks after Obama’s announcement, so it’s reasonable to suggest that what we…
Clearly, the only appropriate judges are in arranged marriages with total strangers
Gay marriage opponents often take pains to claim that it’s not that they’re against gay people—how dare you say that!—but that they just want to protect “traditional marriage”.
