The National Organization for Marriage has explained the tiny crowds showing up for their Tour of Mostly-Empty City Plazas as being because their supporters have real jobs. Well, it’s Saturday and many people are off work for the weekend.
So it does make it a bit peculiar that NOM decided not to hold a rally today.

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

Well yeah that’s the truth! They just can’t pull a crowd.
I’ve said this time and again about those opposed to full equality for LGBT people. They are a loud minority at best.

Did they have one scheduled that they canceled?

Yeah, that cheap dig at the large group of opposition demonstrators was just that.
Cheap.
As for not scheduling something on everyone’s day off…well, that does beg explaining.
Like how can BB be on the road leaving his SEVEN children behind and their mother to cope with such a brood of little kids without their father?
I would think his time for ANY of them would be precious and few.
There isn’t a sign of them anywhere. It’s hard enough to compete with siblings for your parent’s attention.
But a political cause that doesn’t need it at ALL?
Wow…
So much for what he thinks fathers are for, as opposed to what HE’S doing as a father, right?

Erin,
As far as I know it is just another example of phenominally bad planning.

Regan,
He obviously thinks “stay at home mom” means “raises kids primarily all by yourself while dad wins the bread.”
But wait. Doesn’t an overbearing mother and a distant father cause homosexuality??? ..and in THIS case, BB is distant in the LITERAL sense.
