The National Organization for Marriage predictably hates Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum’s decision not to defend Oregon’s same-sex marriage ban in court, calling it “shameful.”
In a statement, the group couches its distaste in terms of support for the institution of marriage. But don’t believe it. It’s really just that they think LGBTQ people and the fact that they have sex with each other, like everything else on Earth, are icky.
You can tell by the last sentence in what they wrote (the only part I’ll share).
“Marriage is our only institution that exists to bring men and women together to benefit the couple and to provide an ideal environment for any children produced by their union. It can and must be defended as a unique, essential and profoundly good institution.”
Because if they really believed marriage is such a “profoundly good institution,” they wouldn’t hesitate to see as many loving couples as possible partake in it.
I’ll pretend that’s what they meant when they wrote it. Even though they didn’t.

They want gay people to get married, just in sham marriages to people of the opposite sex. They feel that loveless marriages that end in adultery and divorce are good for children.
I swear I wasn’t consciously trying for one of those, D&W. But, yeah. It pretty much is, isn’t it? I am not amused.
There is no good reason to deny that we must keep evolving until an adult, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, monogamy or polyamory, race, or religion is free to marry any and all consenting adults. The limited same-gender freedom to marry is a great and historic step, but is NOT full marriage equality, because equality “just for some” is not equality. Let’s stand up for EVERY ADULT’S right to marry the person(s) they love. Get on the right side of history!
But unlike 110% of those types of heads on HuffPo and Buzzfeed, yours was worth reading.
