Natl Org for Marriage sham rallies'em in Atlanta. THOUSANDS attend [not]
Edited on Sat Aug-07-10 04:37 PM by CurtEastPoint
Darrell Beaudoin, of Atlanta, stands with crossed arms while listening to National Organization for Marriage executive director Brian Brown speak on the steps of the Georgia state capitol building on Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010. Beaudoin was one of about 15 supporters who came to NOM's summer tour stop in Atlanta



Tanya Ditty, state director for Concerned Women for America, speaks to reporters and supporters at the National Organization for Marriage's rally on the Georgia state capitol building steps on Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010. Ditty defined marriage as the union between "two sexes, not two people."


And of course one of the King family (the crazy one) has her say:
Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., speaks at the National Organization for Marriage's rally on the Georgia state capitol building steps on Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010. King emphasized the procreation aspect of the gay-marriage debate and voiced her concerns that legalizing gay marriage would mean genocide. (I wish Dr. King were alive to smack her fat smug face.)




Meanwhile, across the street: Caroline Kelly, Central Presbyterian Church pastor, opens the church gate to let in supporters of gay-marriage rights on Saturday, Aug. 7, 2010. While the National Organization of Marriage rallied for the traditional institution of marriage on the state capitol building, gay-marriage supporters stood in silent protest on the other side of the street, outside the church.

2. I doubt that the Beaudion family remembers that
at one time (not that long ago), if one of them had fallen in love with a white person (and vice versa), it would have been a crime to get married. "Don't mess with marriage"- NO ONE IS!!!! Your marriage will be just peachy sweetie.

4. Upholding a near decade-old tradition
Of being out-attended by the porta-potties.

5. NOM isn't too bright...
of course they're going to get a small crowd in downtown Atlanta. If they went to Cobb or Gwinnett, they'd probably get much more interest.
