NOM is on SPLC's "watch list," but had not (as of Winter 2010) been moved to the "known hate groups" list. I will not be at all surprised when they make the jump, myself. They are being carefully observed.

Love,

@JT1962
Your comments are insightful. In Canada's 10 provinces and three territories, civil marriage equality is a non-[fearful]issue where it has been in place going on 6 years. The more states were it exists, and the longer it exists, the quicker will be the public opinion shift.

I encourage you and other readers to adopt this language. I believe it sharpens the distinction between it and religiously blessed marriage, the latter carries preconceived and emotive meaning. G

NOM tried to run with the Providence 'incident' but it fell flat on it's face. And I was glad to see someone get in their face to be honest.

I think the truly dangerous aspect of Christianity is that–likie the other Abrahamic faiths–it can very easily focus foremost on dogma. A dogmatic religion draws its ethical conclusions from a priori 'truth'. This discourages believers from actual ethical reasoning based on fact and nuance. This opens the door for individuals with under-developed moral faculties to do massive harm while feeling that they are paragons of virtue.

Because they have (at least in the past) kept just enough distance between themselves and the parties actually spewing the hateful messages. They may be known by the company they keep, but have largely stuck to the script.

Recently the veneer has begun to crack.
