National Journal's Under the Influence

Monday, April 19, 2010 5:37 PM

The National Organization for Marriage, a major player in the fight over same-sex marriage, has promoted Brian Brown as its new president. Brown had previously been the group's executive director.

The National Organization for Marriage was formed in 2007 and is one of the most effective of all interest groups defending traditional-one man, one woman- marriage.

Brown takes over for Maggie Gallagher, who will remain on the executive committee of NOM's board and will continue to work on cultural and strategic projects. Gallagher has been a visible opponent of gay marriage. But she's also been a newer kind of social conservative, using tolerant and accepting language and avoiding controversial anti-gay rhetoric often associated with old school culture warriors like Pat Robertson and the late Jerry Falwell. 

Before coming to NOM, Brown was executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut.

 At least Jerry Falwell is out of the picture. I heard rumors that his son was gay. Wouldn't that be ironic? salsa helsinki

 Is it a step up that the people who are fighting to keep gays from marriage don't use derogatory words anymore, and use "tolerant and acceptance language"? Good, but that's b.s. Using accepting language, doesn't hide the fact that you're not accepting, and not only not accepting, that's fine, people believe what they believe, but don't stop people from their basic freedoms. salsa clubs

 That's a lot of time, energy, and money that people are putting into taking away rights from others. That's a lot of negative energy for our world. helsinki salsa academy

 I don't understand people wanting to restrict the rights of others. How will it effect them? self-love

 I went to college in Lynchburg, VA, the town of Jerry Falwell. He controlled the town. Certain movies, like Broke Back Mountain weren't allowed to play in the theaters. A town with 5 colleges seemed dead. There were churches on every corner, wherever you turned. 

I have nothing against religion, but when you use it as a tool of dictatorship, that's taking it to far. It's for personal enlightenment, not for oppression. When I, and my college friends found out he died, in our sophomore or junior year of college, we celebrated. Part of me feels bad, but only partly, it's better for the town, it's growth, and the people that he's not there. 

Tyrants don't help with growth or freedom. creative writing ideas
