Following passage of the Marriage Equality Act in the New York state legislature on Friday, the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage (NOM) announced last night that it would commit another $2 million to spreading hate and bigotry across the Empire State.
The NOM said it would target four Republicans — Jim Alesi, Roy McDonald, Steve Saland, and Mark Grisanti– who provided the margin of passage.
The National Organization for Marriage’s (NOM) president, Brian Brown doubled his previous pledge, promising to commit “at least $2 million” in elections in 2012 to make sure Republicans understand that voting for gay marriage has consequences:“The Republican party has torn up its contract with the voters who trusted them in order to facilitate Andrew Cuomo’s bid to be president of the U.S. Selling out your principles to get elected is wrong. Selling out your principles to get the other guy elected is just plain dumb.

“We are not giving up, we will continue to fight to protect marriage in New York, as we are actively doing in New Hampshire and Iowa.”
“We were sold out by the Republican Party in New York,” whined Brown.

Lol seriously? They need to get a life.
Can you give me that money so I can it to every LGBT organizations around the world?
What a lame. People need to love their neighbors that’s why God created is different but the same with His image.
I dont have time for stupid….ill remember to keep my distance from this guy,im afraid hes contagious …
In that picture he looks so enraged that he is about to have a heart attack.
aww how cute let em waste their money
Are you kidding me? This is a joke, right?
This prick should be killed . Where’s osama bin laden when you need him
Brian, you big dummy!
^^ We can only hope, Chimore.
WOW. How many starving kids in the world can that $2 million feed? geez if thats being “christian” then i’ll have no part of it! such haters. horrible people. they should be using that money to help Joplin, MO tornado victims or the flood victims or fire victims around the country!
Lul. It says NOM. Nom nom nom. :p
I wish they’d pledge $20 million. What’s the matter? Don’t they believe in their holy cause? Aren’t they willing to go bankrupt for their beliefs? Pish tush! No sense of commitment.
They’re starving people out here but no….Love is spreading
Wtf……
what a waste of money might as well have a bonfire
Oh geez, those bigots gotta to suck it up. If they don’t like it, then move elsewhere… probably middle east would be good place for them. It’s very sad to see that $2 million going waste and will not accomplish anything. That money would be much better spent helping other people with no food, shelter, etc. Imagine how many people will be helped with that money?
brain brown is no better than the kkk!!!!!!
lol…amm so pissed spelled wrong *brian* brown
SHAME!!!!
I’m think people like this have their brain cells scrambled, they just can’t think like the rest of us do; about love and equality.
yayyy 2 million dollars spent on fighting equality instead of going somewhere where it could save and improve lives of people in need! TRUE CHRISTIANS
The bigotry will never win!! It has spent only 2 million….. Our love is invaluable, and our commitment and dedication to our freedom to love is priceless. They can never compete! Fyi…Brian Brown spends alot of money to keep his secret.
What a wonderful use of $2 million… Hate spreading faster than HIV yay… F’n morons
seems like all that money they are investing can be put to better use across the country for real humanitarian problems, like the floods, the homeless, the tornadoe victims, people who need health care, etc etc etc
How else will they pay for the fake, dishonest, polls that they run.

The Republicans who voted for marriage equality should be commended. Brian Brown should just shut the eff up. Enemies of equality have lost. They need to move on.
TWO MILLION! Why not use that money to feed the endless amount of starving children around the globe instead of stupid crap like this
Brian Brown always looks BADLY constipated! That $2Mil could be used to REALLY help marriage by being donated to a woman’s shelter, or maybe for research into why there is a 60% divorce rate among the Far Right…
What does this teach their children about “spending” Very sad
