There are times that the National Organization for Marriage is so anti-gay that it burns — such as the post on its blog regarding the birth of Congressman Jared Polis’ newborn son:
“We have no clue whether it was a planned motherless family or whether he and his partner stepped in to give a motherless child a family — since he will not say,” NOM said in a blog post Monday. “But he and his partner are proud to announce they were both ‘very excited to become new parents.’”
A simple congratulations would have been nice. Or, since the organization does not agree with same-sex couples raising children (or existing in dignity), maybe a little silence would have been in order.
We can all predict what’s going to happen next. Should NOM catch any flack from this, the organization will quickly whine about how it’s being “persecuted,” leaving many of us to wonder what ever happened to the good old days when “Christians” could make tasteless comments about newborns without reprisal.
Seems to me that a so-called moral organization shouldn’t sound like bullies on the playground.
That’s what NOM comes across as here — bullies on a playground poking fun at a little boy for living in a same-sex household:
“You don’t have a mother! You don’t have a mother!”
On Friday, Rep. Polis (D-Colo.) and his domestic partner Marlon Reis, announced the birth of their son, Caspian Julius. Polis becomes the first openly gay member of Congress to become a parent.

Oh, NOM will burn all right…
They are evil, uneducated thugs… you expected more from them?
It never ceases to amaze me that organizations that say that they are founded and guided by family values, can say things which cause so much psychological damage. For me family values are about valuing others, caring for those you love and espousing ways of interacting with each other which brings happiness – these people seem to do the opposite
Tax the phucking hell out of NOM
im sorry but how does NOM being a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites qualify as NEWs?
I cannot wait for the day when Gay Marriage is legal on a federal level, and same gender couples with kids are so common place that organizations like NOM will just cease to exist. Right now I want to just tell them publicly to SHUT THE F**K UP!!! That is going to be my new thing… Maybe I’ll even have T-shirts printed. It’s the only thing to say to these ignorant groups. Join me…. SHUT THE F**K UP!!! Thanks for letting me vent… Love to all… Michael.
Yep it does, Jakub. We must never miss an opportunity to remind folks how hypocritical and putrid this organization is. Remind folks until it sinks in and not just those of us who may agree with that assessment from the get-go.
NOM is the very low of the low.
How does it go.. What you do to the least of my breathen you do to me… riduculing any infant NOM, what do you think your Jesus would say now????
I’m pretty sure that it was a planned “motherless” family. And what kind of intelligent question is that? But then again, what kind of intelligent organization is NOM?
what’s nom?
Yeah we’ll if you ask me, they burn themselves when they act this stupid. Either there is something wrong with us or there isn’t.(to them) They don’t have to play make believe to satisfy their hate at our cost.
Tasteless people make tasteless comments, Matthew 15:11
New International Version (NIV)
11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.” this is Jesus speaking.
Thank you for seperating nom from christianity im sick of the way they try to represent Jesus. NOM are no better than the pharisees that crucified Jesus
You know why those cretins at NOM said that, don’t you? It’s because there’s nothing they can say that’s positive..nothing at all..they only exist to hate and deny. I find it totally inappropriate for NOM to pass judgement in the first place! NOM is THE prime example of what hypocrites are.
Goddamned cretinic hypocrites…>:-(
NOM doesn’t represent me, a Christian clergy woman and doesn’t do a damn thing to protect marriage! Twits!
if you have nothing nice to say then dont say anything. any normal person can tell you that and if anyone says otherwise then they themselves r a danger to society
and if a child has no mother because she left it to be adopted,or she died or wnet away from her/him…the child has no mother either.derps.it doesnt matter what gender your parents are,it does matter that they respect,love and protect you and educate you the best they can.
NOM is just mad Gay Americans can adopt.
Congratulations from one joyful parent to another. Love and Peace to all 3. Now the really hard part begins, parenthood!
No NOM, this child was PLANNED FOR, unlike many of yours who end up in foster care or being put up for adoption and end up getting raised by LGBT couples because the straight people who had them didn’t want them.
Congratulations to the new family! God bless!
they will get theirs when the judgement days comes and st peter will say to them, sorry, we only take loving christian not people who spent their whole life hating. off to purgatory for you.
nom, you have absolutely NO right to say that. You deserve to be disbanded, immediately, and your “director” fired. What matters is that this child is LOVED by both of his parents.
Well, no gay couple becomes parents by accident! Since some of the straight parents become parents by accident they might not be prepared and make poor parents! Of course, some straight accidental parents are wonderful parents (such as my grandparents; my father was an “accident”), but some just aren’t emotionally or otherwise prepared. Also, some non-accidental parents won’t be good parents, but the non-preparedness aspect will be non-existent with same sex parents.
