National Organization For Marriage Rises From The Ashes: “Our Voice And Views Will Be Important In A Trump Administration”

The National Organization for Marriage had all but disappeared, but the realization of a Trump White House has given new life to the anti-LGBT group.

A post on the NOM blog this week congratulated Trump on his victory and practically salivated at the prospect of decimating marriage equality.

We will work with President Trump to nominate conservative justices to the U.S. Supreme Court, individuals who will adhere to the words and meaning of the constitution. Such justices will inevitably reverse the anti-constitutional ruling of the Supreme Court imposing same-sex ‘marriage’ on the nation in the Obergefell decision, because that decision lacked any basis in the constitution.

In 2014, NOM revealed it was deeply in the red: The organization’s 2013 tax returns indicated it was more than $2.5 million in debt, and had received less than half the donations it did in 2012. (The records also indicated that most of NOM’s funding came from just two donors.)

But NOM president Brian Brown must think happy days are here again, as the group is adding attacks on transgender Americans to their agenda.

“We will work with President Trump to rescind the illegal, overreaching executive orders and directives issued by President Obama, including his dangerous “gender identity” directives, attempting to redefine gender, just as he sought to redefine marriage.”

The statement also claims NOM will work with Trump to dismantle State Department efforts to address the plight of LGBT people internationally and to pass the First Amendment Defense Act (FADA), which enshrines discrimination as a form of “free speech.”

“This is a bright and exciting time for NOM—our voice and our views matter to the incoming administration,” the blogpost beams. “We’re excited about the future, and we are looking forward to work with the Trump administration to restore marriage, uphold gender, protect religious liberty and promote families.”

Oy.
