Jackson, Jr.: They have read the same polls everyone else has, yet they are so beholding to gay marriage lobbyists that they must make this issue their most pressing policy concern...more pressing than healthcare, the economy, the horrible disorganization of DC public schools and a host of other ills that plague the nation's capital.

[NOM Blog] National Organization for Marriage and Carrie Prejean Launch New ...: You will hear the claim that using that word diminishes the marriage between heterosexuals, but you will notice also that strangely enough in their eyes things like divorce and infidelity have less of an impact upon marriage than allowing two gay people to get “married.” So, the baseless “It demeans our marriage” argument, which we all know is not true unless it is meant in a class of citizen context, causes one to correctly ask, “Except as a status symbol, how does someone-else’s marriage affects yours?” and “Why is it that you are not up in arms in a corresponding way against divorce, which affects approximately fifty percent of the married population?” Why does one not even hear as much as a whimper out of these protesters defending the so-called sanctity of marriage?
