So it seems Brian S. Brown and Christopher Plante (Both from NOM) went on former mayor of Providence Buddy Cianci’s radio show on WPRO.
The callers John, Midge and Mark made some VERY good points in our defense of full marriage equality.
You can listen to the show here.
What astounds me is that Brian Brown keeps banging his head on the “It’s all about the children” bit.
It is and it isn’t about the children Brian. Sure, some kids might just find out that there are in fact gay people out there and that we are really no different from everyone else. And yes, some of those kids may challenge the religious beliefs held by their parents. It isn’t called evolution for nothing!
Then of course there are the children of gay couples. They deserve every right and privilege that their cohort deserves from their straight parents. But according to Brown, there will be consequences!
But we also have the move by Brown and NOM to put marriage equality on the ballot in Rhode Island. Absolutely NOT! Every time our rights have been put to a PUBLIC referendum we’ve had our rights stripped away from us.
At least in Rhode Island getting the question on the ballot pretty much takes an act of the legislature. So like they say in the program, call and write your representatives. Tell them that gay people deserve the full and same measure of rights that straight people take for granted.
If you’d like to find out who your representatives are visit the RI Secretary Of State’s Voter Information Center. Then go to the Legislature web site and find your Representatives and Senators. They have contact information on their Constituent Services links.
Tell them we want equality. Nothing else will do.
Spewing Truth in the face of Lies 
NOM are a bunch of liars. Study after study show that children of gay couples are doing fine, and probably better than those raised by conservative bigots like Browne and Plante. The former criminal mayor has no shame or morality, but I still wonder why he thought having Dumb and Dumber on his show was necessary. I think he’s just trying to make things difficult for Rhode Island, a sour grapes thing.
They are so ridic, seriously that’s all they got?
NOMbies don’t care about children. To them children are mere political pawns, just as much as LGBT people are. It’s sick the way they use them, and us, in their little games.
