NOM, the National Organization for Marriage has started its “Summer of Marriage Tour”. It’s going around the country having rallies and events for “traditional, one man, one woman” marriage.
LGBT organizations, including Freedom to Marry and the Courage Campaign are organizing their own rallies and events to counter NOM.
All of NOM’s tour stops are on its website, but it’ll be in Albany, NY on July 17th, in Providence, RI on the 18th, in Trenton, NJ on the 20th and in Annapolis, MD on the 21st.
If you want to get involved, here’s your chance. Show up and support marriage equality.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Their caption: Everything set up and crowd starting to gather in advance of today’s rally outside Manchester City Hall.
That's a pretty loose definition of "crowd."

Yeah, the turn outs have been pretty weak. It would be awesome if we could start outnumbering them at their own rallies.

Posted: 7/16/10 at 1:29pmThat's probably what the crowd at a Gallagher show looks like, too! Size and demographic makeup both.

It seems they didn't (or couldn't) even get real bigot families to pose for the displays on their bus.

Posted: 7/16/10 at 5:20pmWow, there is enough people at that rally to have a rip roaring game of Twister!

#14NOM Begins One Man, One Woman Marriage Tour
Posted: 7/16/10 at 6:33pmI think they should drive the bus all the way to Argentina to stand up for marriage there. I'm sure they'll have a great time driving that very subtle bus on the remote roads through Mexico!

Do you see my love, NOM? A beautiful “Gathering Storm” rains on NOM’s parade in New York
By Eden James
Wow. You’ve got to hand it to the equality movement.
Our collective response to the NOM Tour just keeps getting better and better with each tour stop.
First, the Equality Maine and GLAD organizers of the Maine counter-rally to NOM actually attracted more people to their event than NOM’s kickoff event on Wednesday (102 to 76 by our hand-count). Then the New Hampshire counter-rally organizers held a brilliant “silent witness” event across the street from the Manchester event on Thursday.
And now the amazing Albany organizers, led by several wonderful organizations, have taken counter-protesting to a whole new level, surrounding the NOM event with one of the most brilliant actions I have ever seen.
Check out the gathering storm of rainbow umbrellas held aloft by equality movement activists silenting protesting NOM while asking a simple question adorned to their t-shirt:
“Do you see my love?”

I love that picture with the lawn chair.
How can we infiltrate the organization to change the name of the tour to the "One Man, One Woman, NO DIVORCE" tour?

Posted: 7/19/10 at 7:59pmYeah, that'll sell their message to the masses. Maybe they should do some snake-handling or get Benny Hinn to push some old ladies out of their wheelchairs at the next stop.

According to this lady, blocking her view is bullying.Don't you just love the piano music played in the background?How dramatic! She feared for her life.Oh, and they would not turn around when she breast fed.Because nothing arouses gay men more than watching a woman breast feed her child in public!
