Famed science fiction author, Orson Scott Card, joined the Board of Directors for the National Organization for [Heterosexual Only] Marriage back in April. That’s no big surprise considering Mr. Card’s history of anti-gay rhetoric; however, the big surprise is that Mr. Card has written words that seem contrary to NOM’s “Main Message.” According to NOM’s website, another aspect of their “Main Message” is thus:
“Gays and Lesbians have a right to live as they choose; they don’t have a right to redefine marriage for the rest of us.”

Just when you thought it was safe to turn on your T.V., the National Organization for [Heterosexual Only] Marriage has released another television ad. The new ad targets New Hampshire Governor Lynch for his change of heart on gay marriage and makes the outlandish suggestion that gay activists bribed the New Hampshire legislature.
Although NOM’s poll numbers continue to decline, they insist on using lies and deception to attempt to convince moderates to come to their side. By their own admission on their website, NOM indicates that whenever they say “ban gay marriage” they “lose about ten percentage points in the polls.”
