At the end of March, 2012, National Organization for Marriage internal strategy documents were released through court order.
NOM’s documents described a repugnant strategy of “driving a wedge” between African-Americans and gays, and of fanning hostility between them.
Because . . . don’t you know . .. NOM is all about love. And, what U.S. society most needs, is wedges driven, and hostilities fanned between minorities.
Civil rights legend Julian Bond said of the NOM documents “It confirmed a suspicion that some evil hand was behind this.”
The New York Times condemned NOM for its “poisonous political approach.” NOM additionally has been discovered inflaming hatred of Jews in order to advance its radical anti-gay-rights agenda.
One item in the NOM strategy documents that provoked derision in March, was NOM’s expressed intent to hire an anti-gay goon to lure children of same-sex parents into shit-talking their parents on camera.
At the time, it appeared NOM had made that plan, but was unable to find children of same-sex parents to defame those parents.
Yet NOM found a devious way to make it appear that they had “found” children to bear testimony against gay parents.
NOM co-founder Robert P. George arranged for $785,000 of funding for a “study” that was supposed to be an election year anti-gay-parent bloodbath. The money came from The Witherspoon Institute, where George is a Senior Fellow, and the Bradley Foundation, where he is a Board member. The Bradley Foundation is notorious, incidentally, for funding extremist anti-Muslim bigots.
Mark Regnerus, a known anti-gay theocrat and a sociologist at the University of Texas, Austin, carried out George‘s dirty anti-gay smear assignment. Regnerus’s bio on the Christian Trinity College site finds him saying that his faith — which in this case, must be read as his anti-gay bigotry — informs his research. Regnerus purported to survey children “raised” by gay parents through to the 1990s; a fundamental lie in all of his propagandizing was that actual same-sex-headed families were too hard to find, so he had to settle for broken heterosexual homes in which one parent turned out to be “gay.”
Had Regnerus wanted to find study subjects substantially raised by gay parents through the 1990s, he would have been able to find such families. Despite the prejudice, gay people in committed relationships, raising children existed at the time. It happened, not all that rarely, that children of heterosexual parents lost to accidents or disease were raised by gay relatives. Robert George could not be bothered to fund such a study; the $785,000 had to be guaranteed to wind up smearing gay parents in particular, and gay people generally. NOM is the organization that holds anti-gay rallies where speakers yell through megaphones that homosexuals are “worthy to death.” NOM’s William Duncan gave a Liberty (so-called) University symposium session titled ”Homosexuals or Homo Sapiens; Who Deserves Protected Class Status?”
Isn’t that special? NOM says gay people aren’t human. We should study the history of the world, to see whether any anti-minority bigot has ever previously said that the target of its bigotry was not even human.
One shocking, shabby thing is that “sociologists” from Brigham Young University were involved in the study design. Brigham Young has an “Honor Code” that 1) forbids all members of the BYU community from acting on homosexual desires, and; 2) says that no one may advocate homosexuality or promote homosexual relations as being morally acceptable.
Get it? A study commissioned by the leader of the NOMzis for use as a weapon against gay people and their rights, was designed by “sociologists” whose university forbids them to “advocate homosexuality” or to “promote homosexual relations as being morally acceptable.
