NOM addresses “trolls” on its Facebook page; conveniently ignores hate speech posts

Finally. For the first in over 4 years, National Organization for Marriage decided to finally address their Facebook page. We’ve seen some pretty nasty comments on there — after all, an organization is made possible by their supporters. However, today, NOM posted a “PSA” for their supporters — “ignore the trolls, report them, etc.” Silly.

What NOM does not address
• NOM’s supporters who post hate speech (even those who do it very frequently) are never banned
• Those who post views or engage in a debate with a dissenting/pro-gay marriage view have been banned
• Those who point out the hate speech posted by NOM supporters have been banned
• NOM’s supporters create duplicate profiles or go under fake names
• NOM is falling and can’t get up — so finally after 4 years, they have time to address their Facebook page

Let’s point out some examples. These individuals featured below have not been banned by NOM. Many post on a daily basis to NOM’s Facebook page. Why aren’t these individuals banned?

This flyer was circulated at the March for Marriage last year. It highlighted NOM’s most anti-gay supporters (most posts weren’t even about marriage). It was also sent to the Lee Boys, the band that NOM had selected to perform at the March for Marriage. The Lee Boys promptly cancelled on NOM.

So, NOM, you really want to address your Facebook page? Maybe it begins with your supporters, not the “trolls.” A “troll” to NOM is anyone who disagrees and posts their viewpoint to the Facebook page, even when they post in a civil manner.

Continued Hate Speech by NOM Supporters on Facebook Page

Seems like we always begin our posts with “NOM is having a hard week” or “Another NOM failure…” Well, NOM has been having a hard couple of months. Marriage equality looks promising in a handful of states and even in the upcoming Supreme Court ruling that will likely determine DOMA and Prop 8 is unconstitutional. Brian Brown, Thomas Peters, Chris Plante and Jennifer Roback Morse are in agony at the moment. They know their bigotry has lined their wallets but their supporters are getting frustrated. Their jobs are in question. They know frustration from supporters will result in no donations to an organization that gets nothing done except maintain its anti-gay attitude. Take the money that NOM collected from supporters and poured into France. Brian Brown even got a European vacation out of it. Yet, France achieved marriage equality. Uh oh.

Rhode Island achieved marriage equality last week and it looks like Delaware will follow shortly.

NOM has started posting about things happening elsewhere because it knows that the United States will soon achieve marriage equality.

And with all that NOM $, you’d think they would prevent a blog like ours from capturing homophobic comments from their own Facebook page.

Paul, really? I think the love for your granny is not that kind of love we are fighting for. And procreation isn’t a requirement for marriage.

Uh, sorry, Tammy, but in 10 states it is. If it’s nonexistant, why are your fellow supporters handling over their paychecks to NOM?

Congrats, Joe, your ignorant comment got a LIKE from, well, another ignorant person:

So married couples that don’t want to have a baby or can’t have a baby are not normal? FAIL.

We are always amazed at the NOM supporters who post homophobic slurs and sport a profile pic of them with a family member. And publicly list where they are employed.

So basically, she doesn’t listen to facts because she’s “a Christian.”

Hmmm, we saw this in Nazi Germany.

Wasn’t this nice? For once someone decided to post something in a non-confrontational manner and really explained their love their daughter despite her sexual orientation. Yet, Nan, got attacked.

Gotta love the “I know homosexuals who…” argument. They say they know gay people in order to “validate” their point (or make it seem more credible). Truth is, most do not, because most gay people wouldn’t want to be associated with such hateful people.

Buck got just one like for this homophobic post. Better luck next time.
