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…

Video #2

I don’t think the teachable moment here is gay marriage. I think it’s spelling and grammar.

Pastor Miles McPherson and lesbian comedienne Carol Leifer appeared on Larry King last night to discuss marriage equality. McPherson, a former professional football player who founded the Rock Church in San Diego—where Carrie Prejean aka Miss California is a member—has previously equated homosexuality to pedophilia and was very active in getting Proposition 8 passed last year. Watch:

Hundreds 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.

To the disdain of of many pro-marriage equality groups, Theodore B. Olson and David Boies who argued Bush v. Gore back in 2000, are challenging Proposition 8 on the grounds the ruling creates a class of “second-class citizens” thereby violating the the U.S. Constitution. Representing two same-sex couples under the newly founded American Foundation for Equal Rights, the legal odd couple will fight Proposition 8 all the way to the Supreme Court. Video from today’s press conference.

Pro marriage equality groups are concerned that if the battle for same-sex marriage reaches the Supreme Court, a ruling in our favor is unlikely considering the conservative-leaning makeup of the court, possibly setting the movement back years. Others suspect that there is conspiracy at work on behalf of the Right to derail the same-sex marriage movement entirely by pushing same-sex marriage into the Supreme Court before gaining enough public support and before the Court is ready to rule favorably.
