Here she is, Miss California, in NOM's latest ad...

Calling bigots out on their bigotry is bigoted—see how that works? And when NOM attacks gay couples and insists, without providing any evidence, that allowing gay people to marry somehow threatens "opposite marriage" or religious liberty, they're simply "expressing concerns." And NOM insists that gay people "don't want to debate the consequences" of gay marriage, but NOM can't prove that there are or have been any negative consequences. So what does NOM peddling save bigotry? Some blurry images of documents warning of dire consequences... issued by what group? We don't know. We just have take NOM's word for it—there are, out there somewhere, some blurry documents documenting consequential consequences. We just have to take NOM's word for it.

And it was nice of NOM to edit out the first half of Miss California's response to the gay marriage question: "I think it's great that Americans are able to chose one or the other. We live in a land that you can chose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage." Then Miss California went on to say that she believed opposite-sex marriage was wrong—but, hey, we all get to make the choice, as Americans, between opposite marriage and same-sex marriage. So Miss California endorsed marriage equality while at the same time reserving her right to 1. chose opposite marriage and 2. believe in her heart that opposite marriage is superior. So...

Miss California wants the same thing gay activists want: same-sex marriage should be legal, not compulsory, and once same-sex marriage is legal people will be free to disapprove—just as they're free to disapprove of interracial marriage or second marriages or marrying outside their faiths, etc. But the disapproval of some—even a majority—doesn't trump the rights of others.

Some spokeswoman you've got there, NOM.
