When asked what this impli for Om Nom’s sexualy, Voov rponds: “Well, at the time Om Nom was gog to be homosexual, but many members of our staff cid agast that.

Acrdg to NOM, the nference is meant to prepare llege stunts to fend “natural marriage” on their mp by troducg them to a number of proment anti-gay speakers and activists.

Beg a 24-year-old gay blogger who has spent the better part of the past two years trackg NOM's anti-gay extremism, I wasn't expectg much when I applied to ITAF's “Emergg Lears” program mid-June.

This distctn - “we're not anti-gay, jt anti-gay marriage” - has allowed NOM to differentiate self om anizatns that have been labeled "hate groups" for peddlg known falsehoods about LGBT people. So on Thursday, July 26, armed wh ltle more than my mera phone, a notepad, and a hastily-ncted backstory, I board a flight to San Diego to attend what would end up beg one of the most disturbg and overtly homophobic experienc of my life.

On the drive to the church, I listened to NOM's Morse celebrate the announcement of San Francis's new archbishop, Salvatore Cordileone - often referred to as the “godfather” of Proposn 8, the California ballot iative that banned gay marriage.

PETERS: When you're on a gay webse, and aga you have to be reful bee thgs n get pretty crazy pretty quickly, you see much more of the worldview that's surroundg their advocy of this issue. When you see, for stance, an article about how awful, how horrible Profsor Regnes is wh his exploatn and stereotypg of gay people, and then on the si is ad after sponsored ad for gay hookup s, for pet groomg, and for, I mean, lerally - this is sort of like the worldview of the people who are fightg very serly.

NOM'S LATT GAY-MARRIAGE WORRY: THEIR RIGHT TO DENY RIGHTS MIGHT BE DENIED
