Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Brave Floridians of every stripe of ignorance went to the polls last November and banned any practical, legal recognition of gay relationship forever… or at least until society evolves beyond its prejudices, which history shows it tends to do. The gays can marry in Iowa and Vermont now, so it’s only a matter of time. But the social conservatives aren’t going to sit back and let the natural progression of acceptance take place without a fight. Some dumb ad from a group called National Organization for Marriage is making the blog rounds today (watch the vaguely hurricane-themed spot after the jump). The group’s official abbreviation is NOM. Apparently, folks there are not aware that nom is something of an Internet meme, and when you Google Image Search the word, this is one of the first pictures that comes up (from LOLBlog). It really just makes you want to protect the sanctity of marriage, doesn’t it?
