Anti-equality cause is so righteous they hide and lie

Pathetic liars called out at Salon.com and at the Minnesota Independent. If you must lie to win, your cause isn't really worthwhile. No one is forcing anyone at NOM to marry a gay person. My marriage has no impact on them. I don't get to decide who your life partner is and who inherits your social security benefits (or vice versa), stay away from my decisions. Thank you very much.

Minnesota may end up being the first state to actually defeat a gay marriage ban by popular vote. It’s far from a sure thing, with polls showing a split electorate, but a plurality of voters opposes enshrining a marriage ban in the state constitution. Anti-equality groups — the ones who got the legislature to put the state constitutional amendment on the 2012 ballot in the first place — are going to spend a fortune fighting to convince the on-the-fence voters that allowing same-sex couples to get hitched will somehow destroy the very fabric of society. They’ll have to fight Minnesota campaign finance law to do so.

The Minnesota Independent reports that the anti-gay marriage coalition will challenge the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board’s attempt to close donation disclosure loopholes. The National Organization for Marriage, the prominent national anti-equality group that has fought against disclosing donors in every campaign it’s been involved in, claims they’re the victims of “deliberate targeting by the government.” (NOM generally claims to be a victim, all of the time, of everyone.)
