The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) is an anti-LGBTQ organization that puts forth homophobic campaigns and legislation (inclusive of constitutional bans on gay marriage both federally and within the individual states themselves). This past week, in compliance with an investigation regarding their failure to comply with campaign disclosure and financial laws in Maine, a protected memo was released that revealed their $20 million "Strategy for Victory" campaign. The strategy documents were made available to the public here. | | | We aim to identify young Latino and Latina leaders, especially artists, actors, musicians, athletes, writers and other celebrities willing to stand for marriage, regardless of national boundaries. …Here’s our insight: The number of “glamorous” people willing to buck the powerful forces to speak for marriage may be small in any one country. But by searching for these leaders across national boundaries we will assemble a community of next generation Latino leaders that Hispanics and other next generation elites in this country can aspire to be like. (As “ethnic rebels” such spokespeople will also have an appeal across racial lines, especially to young urbans in America.) | |

Our ultimate goal is the make opposition to gay marriage an identity marker, a badge of youth rebellion to conforming assimilation to the bad side of “Anglo” culture." | >

NOM's President, Brian Brown, has since responded, stating, "We proudly bring together people of different races, creeds and colors to fight for our most fundamental institution: marriage." I find this response puzzling because the only thing throwing money at anti-gay minorities does is fracture those marginalized subpopulations even further. Perhaps Mr. Brown misspoke and meant to say that "We proudly bring non-LGTBQ people of different races" together. |
