Brian Brown is the president and spokesman for National Organization for Marriage. NOM is working the front lines in the war on marriage. He is doing good work and I do not envy him. This video below shows you one of his skirmishes.
He lost this round not because he was wrong, (he was the only one in the room that was right), but he did not know how to state his point. He relied on common sense and obvious truths, stuff that was throw out decades ago.
“...the reason the government is involved in marriage is that taxpayers and society have a key interest in bringing together mothers and fathers to raise their children together”.
Brian, you need to articulate that interest.
“The government obligates third parties to respect and recognize your marriage, it does not merely enforce your private and personal agreements”.
Brian, why does it obligate any one to recognize that union?
Brian was out gunned and out maned. Some one needs to give him better sound bites. If I could think of any I would send them.
This just reminded me of the time before the roe v wade decision came down. No one thought it would happen the way it did - it just wrong and 'everyone' knew it. Surely the highest court in the land would see that, so no worries. Now 40 million babies later..........
I hope Brian succeeds I don't want anyone blogging 30 years from now saying. "How were we to know?!?".
The Ruth Institute is doing very good work as well.
