The National Organization for Marriage has been accused of many things by our opponents in recent years, but here’s a new charge that may actually be true.
It now appears that NOM is responsible, in however small a fashion, for keeping the unemployment rate high in some notable sectors.
You see, NOM's string of victories in blue states may bear some responsibility for the executive directors and senior staff at state level “marriage equality” organizations to resign or be fired.
It started with Geoff Kors, Executive Director of Equality California in California, who could never recover from his monumental defeat in the Proposition 8 campaign in California, of which NOM was one of the chief supporters and leading organizations to qualify the initiative. Kors stepped down in March of this year.
Next up was the Executive Director of Equality Maryland, Morgan Meneses-Sheets, who was fired two weeks ago after failing to pass a gay marriage bill through the Maryland Legislature. It was supposed to be a “given” that gay marriage would pass in Maryland this year. A given, that is, until NOM got involved.
Shortly after Meneses-Sheets was fired, Equality Maryland's Development Director Matthew Thorn resigned in protest over the firing.
Most recently, Kathy Kushnir, the Executive Director of Marriage Equality of Rhode Island (MERI) --the leading group advocating for gay marriage in that state-- resigned after failing to even get the gay marriage bill out of Committee in another state that was, we were told, a slam dunk for them this year.
All the while, as our opponents keep talking about the march of history, tout biased polls, and tell themselves that their victory is inevitable…secretly, the Executive Directors of other states' “marriage equality” organizations are updating their resumes...
And to those who are looking to fill these vacancies, it might be good to double-check their retention rate.

Keep laughing NOM. The anti-gay bigotry industry is a dying one. You'll all be jobless soon enough.
Who made you the Nostradamus of the 21st century, Ken?
Ken - Please stop with the name-calling and victimhood nonsense; nobody buys it. NOM is not a bigoted organization; homosexuals are not victims. NOM supports marriage and families; homosexuals choose not to participate in marriage, refusing to give up their immoral sexual activities.
Labeling a post about people losing their jobs as humor. Why don't you just drop the pretense that you are motivated by anything other than anti-gay animus?
Too bad those groups aren't shutdown as well.
When does Ken resign from his continous and ludicrous posts. Is there any way we can fire him?
On behalf of all small busines everywhere I would like to thank NOM in its efforts to keep small business going. There are many people who work in small business and the advent of SSM would have caused many of them to either lose their jobs or be unable to afford to offer the same quality healthcare at the same cost.
You see because is more sickness and disease with same sex relations and a higher mortality rate the health care and insurance costs have gone up with the advent of SSM. When SSM was imposed in Massachusetts it meant that small business had to pay the extra costs to cover the homosexuals. This is because although homosexuals want the right to engage in their sex, they do not want the finiancial responsiblitites that come with it. They passed the buck.
Thanks to SSM various types of businesses in the state have been forced to do the following
(1) Heterosexuals now get to pay higher premiums so that the homosexuals get to be covered.
(2) Some business interests have downsized their labor and rehired them through temp labor agencies. In this way they avoid having to provide health insurance.
(3) Some business interests have resorted to independent contractors rather than employees. A Massachusetts newspaper which supported SSM has done this to avoid those pesky health insurance rates.
So thank you NOM for your efforts in the other states everywhere. Keep up the good fight. If SSM is imposed on other states then those citizens and small business owners will suffer the same fate as what happended in Massachusetts.
Ken:
Anti-heterosexual racist, hatefuls bigots like you will soon all be losers like SSM lost in Maine.
See how easy it is to talk like a Ken, LOL!
Hey, I like that, Don! Why must homosexuals be such haters of marriage? Do they hate children? Don't they believe that children should have a chance to be brought up by their moms and dads? They're HATERS and BIGOTS!
Yes, homosexuals hate children, straight people, America and baseball. ROFLLTFIA, right Don.
I guess I'd be bitter too if I were you.
Ken:
Nice to see you admit it. I'll make excellent use of your quote.
"SSM activist says that homosexuals hate children, straight people, America and baseball!"
There we have it! Thanks for being honest, Ken.
