Lord, somebody give me a 15-piece Buffalo wing platter and Appletini... NOM has lost their goddamned minds.
On their blog, Brian Brown claims to be a part of the New Civil Rights Movement.
So hate is the New Civil Rights Movement? This is a Messquake!Dear Friends of Marriage,
Do politicians have a right to strip you of your constitutional right to vote?
Now there's a real burning civil rights question, and it was front and center this week in D.C., both inside and outside the federal courthouse doors.
Outside the courtroom of the D.C. Court of Appeals, we pro-marriage forces rallied under the leadership of Bishop Harry Jackson. "This is the new civil rights movement!" I told a crowd of 250 enthusiastically cheering marriage champions!
Inside the courtroom, Alliance Defense Fund attorney Austin Nimocks was awesome! The D.C. charter, Austin told the full nine-judge panel assembled before the packed courtroom, clearly states, "electors of D.C. may propose laws (except laws appropriating funds)." "The council cannot undermine a right that's expressly granted in the charter," Nimocks said outside. "The people's right to vote is granted in the charter."Yet local D.C. courts had rejected the people's right to vote for marriage, so now here we were in federal court, asserting core constitutional rights on behalf of the people of D.C.

I find it interesting that Pumpkin Face uses the "for marriage" thing. If you really were FOR marriage you wouldn't oppose marriage equality. It's that simple.
Chile, you had me on the floor with the 15 piece buffalo wing platter...
