NOM = The Lose

I briefly mentioned the group NOM here about a week ago. They are another group of right-wing religious folks who think what other people do in their bedrooms is of concern. And it's more than a concern actually. NOM is under the impression that soon the world will be taken over by the intergalactic homosexual overlords, and the doom is eminent.

So in a true act of masochism I decided to read a NOM blog post. I regret this decision......my head is about to explode. Check out their most recent post below and see if you can recognize the GIANT GAPING HOLE in their reasoning. Here is a clue, African Americans were being (Blank) against and this became the reason for the civil rights movement (it wasn't the only reason but...).

. . . The lawsuits have resulted from states and communities that have banned discrimination based on sexual orientation. Those laws have created a clash between the right to be free from discrimination and the right to freedom of religion, religious groups said, with faith losing. They point to what they say are ominous recent examples:

– A Christian photographer was forced by the New Mexico Civil Rights Commission to pay $6,637 in attorney’s costs after she refused to photograph a gay couple’s commitment ceremony.

– A psychologist in Georgia was fired after she declined for religious reasons to counsel a lesbian about her relationship.

– Christian fertility doctors in California who refused to artificially inseminate a lesbian patient were barred by the state Supreme Court from invoking their religious beliefs in refusing treatment.

– A Christian student group was not recognized at a University of California law school because it denies membership to anyone practicing sex outside of traditional marriage.

“It really is all about religious liberty for us,” said Scott Hoffman, chief administrative officer of a New Jersey Methodist group, the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, which lost a property tax exemption after it declined to allow its beachside pavilion to be used for a same-sex union ceremony. “The protection to not be forced to do something that is against deeply held religious principles.”
