National Organization for Marriage leader Brian Brown was in NC the night Amendment One passed. It sure was a far cry for his sobbing in his seat the night New York passed marriage equality. This time, Brian made sure to shake hands with NOM supporter and felon, Jahnmaud Mondre Lane. Lane was convicted of shooting someone with an AK-47 years ago (see offender profile) and has been a very homophobic voice on NOM’s Facebook page.
Here’s a taste of what Jahnmaud likes to post on NOM’s Facebook page:
North Carolina will go to the polls in the next few days to vote on Amendment One, which defines marriage is to be only between a man and woman. The Amendment has been receiving less and less support over the past few weeks because of the hidden dangers to unmarried couples, children, the elderly, etc that is not mentioned by the supporters.
National Organization for Marriage is hoping their $300,000+ contribution will go far on May 8 despite the consequences of the Amendment. The anti-gay organization has been posting updates on their Facebook page with confidence that the amendment will pass and reports that their pro-marriage signs have been vandalized (yet they did not report about the man in NC who shot a Against One sign and another who urinated on an Against One sign).
NOM supporters have turned these posts into a forum of hateful messages, attacks and even bullying a gay couple.
We’ve seen posts from Antranae Lee in the past, but we were left wondering… “on their backs”?
In regards to the reports that pro-Amendment signs are being vandalized:
Here’s who liked Laurie Snyder’s comment:
Brooke Gardner and Antranae Lee resort to bullying a marriage equality supporter and his husband:
Celeste Creighton, according to her public Facebook page worked as a Sunday School Director, follows it up:
In the same NC post, NOM Page resident Rick McCarrell contradicts himself by posting he believes in persecution of gay people:
Ummm, what???
A “natural lie”? What is that? Do you find that on the shelves of Whole Foods?
Regarding Republicans in NC who are actually against the Amendment because it goes too far:
National Organization for Marriage has been under intense scrutiny and observation for condoning anti-gay, homophobic slurs on its Facebook page. The NOM supporters who continuously post homophobic comments (which are Facebook violations) go unpunished, for now. What about those who say they follow the word of God, love thy neighbor, yadayadayada.. that’s all fine. We have nothing against that. But don’t be hypocritical about it. It’s not intimidation to call you out on it. If you post it on a PUBLIC page, you’re responsible. It’s not breaking the law (see #4 in Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities). One NOM supporter (featured on this post) has expressed her outrage that her name was mentioned in an earlier post. She even compared this “gay site” to the Taliban. Comparing gay people to the Taliban isn’t very Christian. How does one neglect to see the double-standard? We are not out to harm you, we are holding you responsible. That’s what being an adult is about. You are entitled to your opinions, but don’t set double-standards and expect others not to call you out on it. If you’re going to LIKE a homophobic post, you are responsible. It shows you support what was just posted… even if it’s untrue or a mischaracterization OR even homophobic. And it’s on a PUBLIC page for all to see, including those who may be struggling with their sexual orientation. Homophobic comments hurt. They even kill. Hate crimes are committed everyday. Liking/posting a homophobic post makes your responsible. How is this okay?
So here we go:
And here’s who liked this extremely homophobic post:
Here’s another. One, in fact, that uses a slur:
And another.
National Organization for Marriage DOES in fact monitor its page. It even LIKED a comment left by well-known NOM supporter, “Nino Brunet” who continually posts hate speech. Yet, NOM has done nothing.
National Organization for Marriage loves to play the victim card. Let’s just say it… it’s been a bad month for NOM. Washington State passed marriage equality as did Maryland. North Carolina polls show that the majority of its citizens disapprove of an amendment that would ban marriage equality. NOM is spilling over in hate in desperation. For example. Instead of trying to win people over with healthy point of view, NOM has allowed its most vocal supporters to post hate-filled rants with an occasional biased article from LifeSite News.
There is a battle on NOM’s Facebook page. NOM posts a topic, usually very one-sided or omitting critical information, to engage its supporters. Facebook Terms of Service violations happen pretty often on these posts. Usually, those who post such homophobic or vile comments are the same supporters. Yet, if you happen to visit NOM’s facebook page, leave a comment or engage in a civil debate, you will most likely find yourself unable to do so the next day. Anne Miller, Lexi Hastings and Steven Bates, NOM supporters, will most likely call you a “troll.” Just because you disagree with their opinion. What they fail to realize is, NOM’s page is in public view and anyone has the right to post (as long as it meets Facebook’s Terms of Service). You’d think an organization like NOM, who frequently cries that their voice is silenced, would agree in free speech for all. Banning someone from commenting or debating is… well, unAmerican. Calling people “trolls” or telling them to go to their “own gay page” is just a weak excuse for not engaging in debate and not wanting to listen to the other side. It’s cowardly.
However, NOM’s page is full of Facebook Terms of Service violators. Kevin Holland has been posting for several months now. You’ll find that most of his posts use Hate Speech (“homo” or remarks regarding anal sex). He is not banned. He has been reported to Facebook several times.
Today, NOM posted an article attacking a new book. The NOM post quotes Prof. Christine Schintgen, who happens to be just an ASSISTANT professor: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/christine-schintgen/24/833/6b1
We at NOManiacs blog think this assistant professor and Chairman of Literature’s comments regarding turkey basters is a little colorful, if not inappropriate and doesn’t adhere to her school’s values statement (see section regarding Freedom), but hey, free speech, right? This assistant professor resides and works in Canada……. Canada.
In response to the post, NOM supporters commented, including Kevin Holland, who has been featured on this blog before:
Kevin Holland isn’t 5 years old as his profile picture suggests. Kevin Holland is indeed an adult who uses a picture of a child (his perhaps? we blurred it out) that appears next to his homophobic posts? Ladies and gentlemen, these NOM supporters insist they are protecting their children from “indoctrination.” Ironic much?
To those of us who have spent many weeks, nay months, perhaps years, fighting NOM and their crazed and deluded band of followers, some of us may have had encounters with Randy Dyer. For those of you not familiar with this cretinous, cowardly individual, please enjoy the following summary.
Randy loves to patrol the anti-gay message boards 24/7 in the hope that someone, gay or not (though we at NOManiacs suspect preferably gay) will speak to him. When they do, they are met with a hostility usually seen by primitive tribes when outsiders invade their lands. When asked questions to prove his standpoint, he merely throws out unfounded, baseless and unprovable accusations. They are met with claims that they are “bashing” him, and being hypocritical. One long-time gay rights advocate has been asking for examples of said bashing for months and is still waiting.
To give you an example of this individuals mindset, the following screencaps were taken within the space of just TWO HOURS on NOM’s Facebook page. I’d offer a prize for the winner of ‘Spot The Hypocrisy’, but I’d end up as generous as Santa Claus on speed…
Randy has been told, numerous times, that people exactly like him and NOM are stopping gay people from living their lives how they wish – by being legal equivalents to him and his ‘wife’ and to be equally as happy with the one they love. He’s yet to get the message.
Randy likes to push the message that to allow SSM would mean allowing polygamy (when in fact it would damage such a campaign), as well as (with certain others – Nan Waters being one) that paedophilia would be allowed. We’ve all seen this slippery slope argument before, and despite being told that homosexuality is legal, and paedophilia isn’t, he doesn’t quite seem to get the message. Continuing…
Randy appears to have the belief that because one is gay, and loves someone of the same sex, that one has no rights. NOM’s tactics work yet again. As is another one previously mentioned;
See what I mean?
Note how Randy claims we are “bashing” him? Bear that in mind when you see the next post;
The SSM argument, it appears in Randy’s eyes, is “garbage”. More?
I wonder if Randy will dare reply on this blog why he claims we are bashing him while he is calling us, and our fight for equality, “garbage”. Moving on:
So no matter what argument you offer him, he will refute and ignore it. No matter the credibility behind it. Shame.
Apparently it does “effect” (sic) his life. Apparently he believes that the majority can vote on the rights of the minority and is somewhat upset about that. Sorry. Not really the way things work any more…
What goes around, comes around, Randy…
Then again, saying that gay people aren’t even human beings? Pretty low, Randy. Want us to continue? No? Sorry.
Above, we see Randy’s typical response to someone who has responded in a respectful manner to him. No winning with this guy, is there?
Really Randy? Care to explain the screencaps from this blog post?
WE are filled with hate, Randy? Why did you say what you did above? Any explanations?
Wise words Randy. Maybe you should take note of them…?
We’ve given you answers Randy. Whether you choose to read and/or understand them is down to you.
Need we say more?
Randy basically lays it out as he sees it. He thinks we don’t deserve any right. But I think we all knew that. Watch out for more from Randy and his bestest buddy Michael Wolfe shortly 
What else can be said about this? We’ve covered it before. It seems they never change. NOM (for once) posted about other matters relating to marriage other than how gay couples are trying to destroy it. How did their followers reply? Well, see for yourself. Look for the admission from Clarence “The Scribe” Warren that MALE gay sex intrigues him, and another cameo appearance from Master “Steven” Bates. Plus, more talk about faeces and bottoms and so forth. Do these people EVER think of ANYTHING else?
I believe this is “Clarence” explaining away his fascination with male gay sex by claiming his mind is “enquiring”. Anyone else feeling “enquiring” about his sex life? Anyone? No? Moving on…
I know the above screencap isn’t really related to LGBT issues and gay marriage. I just wanted to highlight an up and coming NOManiacs star in “Thomas Byron” (no, no prizes for guessing he’s a fake, sorry!). Not only is he labouring under the misapprehension that Obama is Muslim but he also wants to cast him int the fiery pit of ‘hell’. Hope you’re feeling the Christian ‘love’, people. All the above were capped on 09 January 2012 or posted on that date. The following are from 10 January 2012:
Anyone else see the hypocrisy? No? Look a little harder. It’s there…
The likes on this were Thomas Byron and Steven Bates. No surprise there then…
And now, something from the faceless “Nino Brunet”. Having had run-ins with this person before, your admin can tell you that this is quite an unsavoury character. See the next three posts…
Anyone else disgusted by the actions of NOM’s follower whose posts were not only allowed to remain on the page for almost a full day but are still there to the time of posting? NOM doesn’t approve of anti-gay slurs? Riiiiiiiiiight. And there’s more…
Master “Steven” Bates, not at his finest, but certainly at his most desultory. NOM have known about this individual (your admin having contacted them directly several times about his posts) for some time. Is he banned? Nope. More actively encouraged to post. James Avery for you next, ladies and gentlemen (If you can stomach any more)…
Methinks he’s not going to be voting Democrat in the upcoming election…
And we end (for that day at least) with Clarence yet again revisiting his fascination with the anus, anal sex, and people’s private sexual relations. Please feel free to comment on whether or not you obsess as much over another complete stranger’s sexual life.
And now, a couple from the last 24 hours:
Roberta is an old name when it comes to anti-gay hatred. That said, last year your admin witnessed Roberta ganging up with several others (the infamous SN being one of them), relentlessly haranguing a Welsh gay woman who was raped some years ago and dared to have an abortion for a child she neither wanted nor could have loved. They actually sided with the rapist’s rights to have a child. Your NOM followers at work, people.
And so, my friends, another blog post ends. Apologies that it was so long – I really should post more often but unlike NOM and their followers, I don’t have infinite time on my hands. Hope you enjoyed it and keep your eyes peeled for more…
It’s one thing to be caught out trying to be indignantly righteous when in fact one is displaying hysterical hypocrisy, such as NOM’s new sex-commenter has, but to do so with no support but oneself should really give you an indication of exactly how popular you are.
Presenting Rick Ryan, who went on a several-comment long rant about anal sex, homosexuals having sex, and sex in general, then appeared to shriek, in a lovely falsetto voice, that he had no interest in what people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms. Rick’s denial is right here:
He has “NEVER CARED” about people’s sex lives, apparently. I would recommend Mr. Ryan see someone specialising in short-term amnesia. Note the time lapse between the posts below and his denial:
Just to confirm, it took two hours from Rick banging on (pardon the inadvertent but nonetheless well-placed pun) about people’s sex lives – and yes, all of those likes on Rick’s posts are from Rick himself – I checked – to flat out denial about having “NEVER CARED” about said sex lives. I also noted how he had a dig, twice using the stock-NOM word of “perverse”, at gay people in general. NOM’s standards at work, ladies and gentlemen.
That said, at least Clarence Warren, who appears to think that his ramblings on the NOM Wall somehow constitute making him a “Scribe”, is less in denial about his obsession with male gay sex. You’d have thought, what with him being such a confirmed, non-chosen heterosexual, that he might, for once, think about FEMALE gay sex? He never seems to mention it. This seems to be a recurring problem with many of the male anti-gay posters that NOM so seemingly endorses on their wall. We all know what homophobia REALLY means, don’t we? See for yourself:
Moral lesson of the day – if you’re going to be a hypocrite who can’t get anyone to like what he posts, don’t post it. If you can’t get over your obsession with male gay sex, either seek help or have some. Either way, you think about it more than we do…
My first thanks are to the previous editor of this blog who has done a wonderful job exposing the hate-machine that is the National Organisation for Marriage and their often-foaming, semi-rabid, faeces-obsessed racist followers. They feel that they have done as much as they can with the limited time they have and kindly passed the mantle on to me shortly into the New Year. I hope I can do this blog as much justice as they did. Right, on to business.
With a New Year and Resolutions to be made, it may have been a little optimistic to expect NOM’s followers to maybe show a little more tolerance and respect towards their fellow human beings, in-keeping with the love and tolerance that their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ asked. Actually, it was very optimistic. Foolishly so, in fact. To be honest, anyone who realistically expected as such must have been smoking something illicit.
NOM’s recent post targets a Canadian Gay Magazine editor, helpfully posting a link to its blog with a picture suggesting we are all trying to “indoctrinate children” (see below):
NOM suggesting all gays want to "indoctrinate" people.
Most people would call it “educating”. Seems NOM isn’t very fond of education. Nor does “Daughter of Eve”, who seems, like so many of the sheeple that NOM relies upon to feed their insatiable thirst for money for expensive yet futile bus tours, 5* hotels and Maggie’s undoubtedly large grocery bill, thinks that all we’re after is to encourage people to have gay sex all day, every day:
That said, her impression of homosexual people pales when one considers Barb Chamberlain, and her comparison of gays to mentally deficient people. Thanks for that Barb:
How did the so-called “kindly” Christian followers react to this post on NOM’s facebook wall? By pretty much castigating us to an eternal pit of fiery oblivion lest we do exactly what they say and have sex with who they deem fit. Much in the same way a pimp would. If he was a pimp employed by the WBC, that is. Suzanne Reed Miranda, thank you for your assertions that we are all unhappy, miserable no-hopers with no chance of ever living a fruitful life without your sole intervention, but I think you’ll find many of us are happy with our lives and partners, jobs and lives in general. The unhappy ones which you speak of are no doubt unhappy because you keep posting and pushing messages like the ones below:
Can I make a very polite request? Not just to the people featured in this post but to all of NOM’s followers? We are not seeking marriage in your churches – just the right to be treated equally under the law. Your religion is solely that. Yours. It has no place in the law and as such cannot be used to dictate or argue against our legally recognised equality. Practice your faith. Enjoy it. Try love people as your supposed saviour said. You might just learn a few things…
…And resident feces-fanatic Rev. Wayne C. Cooper couldn’t resist throwing in his insight.
What do Rick McCarrell, Kevin Holland, Thomas Byron, Clarence “Thescribe” Warren have in common? They’re all National Organization for Marriage supporters. They post publicly to NOM’s wall frequently. They say they follow Jesus. But they just spent the last 4 hours talking about poop. 4 hours of homophobic, graphic, obscene comments and NOM isn’t doing anything about it. A couple of other supporters even liked some of the comments. Throw in an AIDS joke and you have, in a nutshell, how they spent their evening.
What prompted a 4 hour discussion about feces?
Months ago, we reported that a young man in the UK had posted a vile comment on Facebook. See the story here at http://nomaniacs.wordpress.com/2011/07/03/christian-advocates-execution-to-gays-insists-he-follows-god/
Days after his “execute them all comment,” Darren Clifft wrote that he was sorry for making such a horrible comment and basically asked to be forgiven. Of course we were touched by his (what sounded like) a sincere apology. The owner of this blog tries to remain objective at all times – reporting both sides. Basically, we gave him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he thought we’d remove the comment or he was just lying to save face?
Months later, he was back at it. http://nomaniacs.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/darren_clifft.jpg
More recently (on Halloween):
Also, Darren is now boasting that he’s a proud member of the Praetorian Party: http://speww.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/praetorian-party-members-part-1/
Here’s a picture that he recently posted on Facebook:
