Comments on: First hand report from NOM’s rally in Indianapolis http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/07/26/24698 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Thu, 20 Jun 2013 08:31:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Steve http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/07/26/24698/comment-page-1#comment-73793 Steve Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:48:24 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=24698#comment-73793 @ Stephen: Marinelli's blog is now only open to invited readers. Evidently NOM saw it as bad PR - especially since it didn't appear to have any supportive readers... 99% of the comments on his posts were from equality supporters. But it's interested that they didn't just turn off the comments feature, they made the blog virtually inaccessible to the public! @ Stephen: Marinelli’s blog is now only open to invited readers.

Now, with everybody laughing at them, no one wants to be associated with them. Sadly (for them) and happily (for us) this tour is just the icing on the cake. Proof positive that they've lost all credibility. Keep laughing America! NOM lost whatever they had going for them when they launched their “gathering storm” ad.

Prior votes have been close, failing by 1 vote, but supposedly there's enough muster to pass it this time around, which could be a reason for the detour. http://prop8trialtracker.com/2010/07/26/breaking-nom-diverts-tour-heads-to-south-bend-for-city-council-meeting-tonight-nomtourtracker-com-to-follow/ Worth noting that NOM is planning to divert their tour and head to South Bend tonight to demonstrate and “make their presence felt” when the city council tries for a fourth time to amend their standing human rights ordinance to include GLBT people.

It's just not that big of a deal that they have to go around demonstrating for it, but if you hand them a ballot or a petition they will shrug and let the bigots have their way because they can't be bothered to use their brains. Majorities are against us, but only apathetically. The real passion is on the other side of the aisle and it is building fast.
