National Organization for Marriage President Brian Brown on Wednesday pledged to hold “every” New Hampshire lawmaker accountable for failing to repeal the state’s marriage equality law — all 211 of them.
Earlier in the day, the Republican-dominated New Hampshire state House voted 211-116 not to repeal the state’s two-year-old marriage equality law.

“We are very disappointed in the failure of the New Hampshire House of Representatives to pass compromise legislation restoring marriage and providing for civil unions for same-sex couples,” Brown said, in a statement.
“This was the law prior to marriage being hijacked by legislators who accepted hundreds of thousands in campaign contributions from gay marriage supporters without ever telling voters they intended to redefine marriage. We consider any vote cast against HB 437 to be a vote in favor of gay marriage, and we will act to hold every legislator accountable for such a vote.”
[...]
“This is a sad day for New Hampshire families who in 2010 had elected what they thought was a solid pro-marriage majority. They were once again let down by politicians who promised them one thing and then left them at the altar when the vote was on the line. These legislators will be held accountable.”
Many political observers expected House Republicans — who comprise three-fourths of the 400-member chamber — to approve the bill. But more than 100 of the House’s 296 Republicans voted against repeal and a number of them spoke out against the repeal measure on the floor.

NOM, go f**k yourselves. Holding lawmakers accountable for pro-gay marriage vote isn’t gonna do a f**king damn thing except embarrass yourselves even more. Will you EVER learn? Doubt it.
Go suck it, NOM!
Oh no, we’re so terrified.
In the words of Glinda: “You have no power here, begone!”
Brian Brown..EAT S# HAHA <3 We Won,U LOST.get Used to it !
isn’t sure of course, but this picture makes Mr. Brown look like he’s got a really INTENSE case of constipation. “I would advise purgatives. Rhubarb and white wine will rid his body of it’s corrupting blood.”
I’m proud of my home state today.
Ok……
cool
Cool story, bro/NOM
Yeah, NOM, you hold them accountable…all 2 of you should show up at any pride rally and give them a piece of your mind. That should take all of 5 minutes.
I hope they get bitch slapped hard in their Starbucks boycott like they got their asses handed to them in NH. Their reign of bigotry and hatred needs to end.
Sieg heil to the NOM Führer Brian Brownshirt.
Mr Brown your sounding very Gestapo-esque there or are you working for the talibans fervour ???
Congratulations New Hampshire. You inspire the rest of the nation and show us that marriage equality is a human right and a source of dignity, not a Republican or Democrat issue.
NOM, You will soon be held accountable for questioning the human rights, equality and dignity of all people. May your narrow view of this world soon expire.
that should be something you shouldn’t feel bad about
some bullies never grow up; Brian Brown being the biggest.
can we get his Email address or somethin so we can send him our love ?
gotta love those bigotd
Ooh…he.sounds SOOOOO scary! I feel a triple dog dare coming on! LOL
That picture pretty well expresses the sanity of this movement.
Please, hold them accountable. Then they can be written in the books as some of the people that helped further our movement.
Hold them accountable… it might just get them re-elected to futher the cause of Marriage Equality nationwide.
Between this and boycotting Starbucks, they’re really on a roll.
sounds a little like a threat, hope NOTHING happens, but if it does find this guy!
Same sex marriage is a right. I hope these people are held accountable for position on marriage equality. I’ve been with y “Partner
I’ve been with my “partner” for 40 years. How many of these so called leaders Christian rights have stayed with their “Partner” for that long?
And just how does NOM intend to hold all 211 reps “accountable”? LOL!
Waa Waa Waa! Geeze, sore looser much?!
Screw you, Brown…you big, loud-mouth, lummox!
shut up already
All of NOM deserves hot coffee scorching their crotches.
Trust me we will too!
KMA NOM!
blah blah blah blah blah….your threats mean nothing NOM….now where is Dorothy’s house when we need her to take care of business for us? ;-)
If gay marriage didn’t bring the state more money, do you think gay rights would even be possible? Homophobia is ignorance and these clowns need to have a one-on-one with Jesus–He taught love, not hate.
Lol. Good luck with that.
I usually would never say anything like this, but I must, he looks like he is taking a huge crap.
:::rolling eyes:::Just take your ball and scoot on home now.
That’s ok we’re holding NOM accountable too!
Go right ahead, NOM. Bankrupt yourselves. :-{P}
if they really want to protect marriage they should ban divorces
lol
Sit down! You are done!
as they should.. they should hold them accountable for bringing equality one more step closer to home =)
Um, yeah, well, yeah, ok Brian Brown. Whatever! Go get laid!
you want to hold the legislature of new hampshire accountable for their pro gay marriage vote? fine. you, then, nom, individually and collectively, will be held accountable for every reported and unreported gay bashing, bullying or murder at the hands of the homophobes you have collectively inspired. you have blood all over your organization. the one thing i would say to each and every one of you is that you bleed as well.
The ash heap of history is waiting.
Give the man a joint.
Can you see the hate on this guy’s face? If same sex marriage is going to destroy his family, I think he has other problems.
Cornered snakes…
