Another embarrassing ad has come out of NOM’s video dungeon this week fighting gay marriage legislation in New York, leveraging the same old and entirely debunked arguments. As for the teachable moment, note the word “marriage” in the final frame of the video below.

With an ad this important to their cause you would think they’d fix it… right? Teachable moment #2.

As in “Same Same Sex Marriage?” And just so we’re clear…

Dan ChoiHundreds of people protested DADT outside the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills yesterday evening where President Barack Obama was holding a Democratic fundraiser. Lt. Dan Choi, a West Point grad and Arab linguist who was recently discharged for coming out on the Rachel Maddow Show, spoke to the crowd:

Obama failed to acknowledge the protesters, except as a throw away line at the fundraiser as reported in the NY Times:

A gaggle of sign-waving [DADT] protesters milled around outside The Beverly Hilton, the sprawling hotel on Wilshire Boulevard. They must have caught the president’s eye when he arrived at the hotel from an earlier stop in Las Vegas because he relayed one of their messages to the crowd.

“One of them said, “Obama keep your promise,’ ” the president said. “I thought that’s fair. I don’t know which promise he was talking about.”

This morning Choi also appeared on MSNBC with David Shuster discussing his discharge.
