It wasn't enough for the National Organization for Marriage to launch lying, race-baiting campaigns. It wasn't enough for them to bring out some oppressed martyrs - both of whom ended up having questionable stories. It wasn't enough for NOM to spread the false story of a "victimized" student that was revealed to be completely untrue. It wasn't even enough for NOM to start its own "Marriage Anti-Defamation" group based on the idea that married heterosexuals are oppressed, and that "No American should be afraid to exercise core civil rights: to speak, to donate, to organize, to sign petitions, or to vote for marriage as the union of husband and wife."
Now they're, um, attacking newborn babies.
This is how NOM chose to address the birth of Rep Jared Polis' son:
Screencap from Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters
Rep. Jared Polis announces with pride his child has no mother
I guess people aren't content with the smaller acts of public animosity toward gays, from booing a gay person on live TV to telling the sister of a gay teenager who committed suicide that his bullies are happy that he is dead.
It always has to be taken one step further.
And, really, what better way to do that than to attack a newborn baby? Letting a teenager know they should be dead because they're gay is one thing - most of them already get that from either parents, peers or teachers. Even telling soldiers who are gay they're not wanted is too obvious - the whole point of the gay ban was to tell them that exact thing. They got the message a long time ago.
No, the only logical next step was to attack a newborn baby - let them and their parents know right off that gay parenting won't be tolerated, the kid's life will be sad from the outset. They'll always be dealing with people attacking their parents because they're being raised by a loving gay couple.
Better to drill it in our heads we're inferior almost from the second we come into the world.
I don't get it, sometimes. Is the goal to terrorize a child who will probably end up growing up heterosexual (but likely bullied for having gay parents) anyway? Is it to let people know that gayness at any stage in life won't be tolerated? Is it to promote the atmosphere of bullying kids raised by gay families so that the kids end up depressed and miserable and tormented daily? Is it to make it so difficult for gays to be parents, because of outside animus, so that we all just give up and we never adopt, we let kids get lost in the system or adopted out into a physically or sexually abusive home and end up with psychological scars for the rest of their life, as long as, god forbid, a gay couple doesn't adopt them? Is that it?
I'm not seeing the goal here, or the benefit of terrorizing families like this. If the ultimate goal is for children to be in stable, loving families, I don't understand destabilizing families and the environment surrounding them just because you're mad that it's a gay family. If it results in more bullying, more stress, then that's on the so-called "pro-marriage", "pro-family" people.
