Now plumbing the depths of pettiness and mean-spiritedness, and in an incredibly offensive comparison of marriage equality opponents to victims of gun violence, NOM has condemned President Obama for inviting Jim Obergefell to his State of the Union address.
First:
The National Organization for Marriage today sharply condemned President Obama for inviting Jim Obergefell, one of the plaintiffs whose case was used by the US Supreme Court to impose same-sex 'marriage' on the nation, to attend the State of the Union speech and called upon the Republican leadership to set aside a vacant seat in the front of the chamber in honor of the fifty million missing voters whose votes were stolen by the Supreme Court ruling in the Obergefell v Hodges case.
Even if you disagree with the decision, a complete indifference to what Jim fought for and what that meant to him and so many others, expressed through an attack on him attending the address, is really petty. And by the way, NOM: the empty seat for victims of gun violence is because they are missing through death, not through the fake sense of injustice that you think being told you can't stop gay people from marrying is.
Then:
"It's an outrage that President Obama is honoring the extermination of true marriage in our country's laws as a result of an anti-constitutonal, illegitimate ruling of the US Supreme Court," said Brian Brown, NOM's president. "President Obama is trying to honor something that is completely dishonorable because it strips from the law the truth of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and substitutes a fiction from the left that marriage can be anything you want it to be.
NOM reminded the nation that voters in 31 states cast over 50 million ballots defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. The Supreme Vourt ruling obliterated those votes.
The Republican leadership ought to set aside an empty chair in the front of the chamber to represent the more than fifty million Americans whose votes in favor of traditional marriage were stolen by the US Supreme Court," Brown said. "It's a national insult that President Obama would celebrate such an affront to democracy."
I'm not quite sure why you think we would just accept that the decision is an outrage or a national insult because you say so. To quote one Internet meme: When it comes to what you say, you cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck I do not give.
And finally:
Brown also pointed out that since the Obergefell ruling imposing gay 'marriage', countless Christian small business owners have been subjected to extreme punishment by the government for refusing to abandon the truth of marriage.
"If the president wanted to do justice concerning this ruling, he would have invited all the people of faith who have been victimized by it - bakers, florists, photographers, nonprofit groups, etc. - and apologized to them and the American people for the supreme lie that is same-sex 'marriage.' The Obergefell ruling has exposed the falsehood that there would never be consequences for redefining marriage, our most fundamental and important social institution."
For Christian conservatives, everything has to be about them all the time. Every public occasion must turn into a ceremony of rememberance for their fake victimhood and oppression.
