So what's it got to do with straight people anyhow?

Gay marriage...a hot potato for sure. The one thing that's always driven me up the wall is the argument that letting two men or two women marry one another will somehow weaken MY marriage and/or the institution of marriage. Umm How??

There are many financial reasons to get married, there are many practical reasons to get married. Marriage is supposed to be forever and when it's not, walking away is not a decicion to be made lightly. OK that's all said...now explain how letting "Adam and Steve" get married has anything to do with MY marriage.

Another National Organization for Marriage Ill-Fated Bus Tour

The anti-gay organization founded by Maggie Gallagher has been on a bus-tour across California this past week, stumping for the GOP's Senate Candidate, Carly Fiorina. Similar to its nationwide anti-same-sex marriage bus tour last summer, this one is also drawing tens of people!

There is one thing you can say for certain about the National Organization for Marriage; it's always up to something ... and that something invariably has to do with The Gay.

If it isn't sponsoring state-wide initiatives banning same-sex marriage, it's intervening in electoral campaigns around the country. If it isn't briefs in support of California's Proposition 8, it's filing a suit against the state of Rhode Island so it won't have to reveal the names of its donors. If it isn't bringing other anti-gay organizations - including the San Marcos, California-based Ruth Institute -- under its wing, then it's joining a coalition called the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles. If it isn't in the process of creating some very weird anti-gay television advertising spots, it's launching another cockamamie bus tour.

And sometimes it seems, given its apparent trunk full of treasure, NOM is doing all of the above at just about the same time.

Go to the link to read more. And notice how they're trying to protect the identity of their donors and wonder why...
