Homosexual Activists try to Block Radio Ads
massachusettes news ^ | November 1, 2001

A radio station was pressured by homosexual activists yesterday to stop running advertisements which favor the “Protection of Marriage” amendment to the Massachusetts Constitution.

The station refused to stop the ads. However, it indicated that it was under heavy pressure to do so. The speculation in the industry is that it was homosexual employees of the station that were imposing the pressure.

This is another example of unfair tactics that are being used by activists to stop the people from voting on the issue of marriage, said Bryan Rudnick. “The opposition wants judges or the legislature to make this historic decision because they know they will certainly lose if the people decide,” he says.

Lawyers point out that this radio station is not unique because every business in the state is constantly under this type of pressure. The state’s civil rights laws protect many people from discrimination because of race and gender. And “sexual orientation” is included among the favored groups. Therefore, homosexual employees of radio stations are covered and the stations must be very careful not to offend them or they will be sued for fabricated offenses. (The category of “sexual orientation” is not yet covered under the federal Civil Rights Act, although Sen. Edward Kennedy is pushing hard for it.)

The radio ads began yesterday.

“Our network of community organizations and volunteers is fully mobilized and the signatures are pouring in,” said Rudnick. “This radio campaign will help us reach the remainder of the majority of Massachusetts citizens who support marriage as the union of one man and one woman.” Rudnick is chairman of Massachusetts Citizens for Marriage.

Rudnick said the advertising is airing on radio stations across the Commonwealth during the remaining weeks of their petition drive.

“We still need signatures but the momentum is picking up. More people are calling us for additional copies of the petition. Our opponents’ criticism is getting more harsh and threatening. We need to go over-the-top as much as possible. The dirty tactics by the opposition are having an effect. We need to have as many supporters as possible enlist help from their own families, clubs, churches and synagogues.”

The ad encourages the listener to contact MCM for petitions or information about the signature drive at 781-647-1942 or www.marriagematters.org.

My daughter and I heard on our local station (WTAG-Worcester, the station that plays RUSH). She asked what it was about and I told her. She was incredulous that the State would even be considering allowing 'homosexual marriage'.

Here is a link to their press release dated 10/26/01 which detailed how the sodomite faction is harassing pro-marriage people in MA and intimidating them with the AFL-CIO.

Sodomites and union goons: united at last and harassing their own union members for upholding traditional marriage. Why isn't this surprising?

PRO-MARRIAGE GROUP ASKS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION

We had a thread here at FR. Perhaps you could provide a link to it as I lost my bookmark.

What I can't figure out is why so many people--both straight and gay--are so eager to register their intimate personal relationships with the government. If you and your friends and relatives and your church or synagogue (if you belong to one) think you're married, then you're married. Who cares what the government thinks? Why should the government be keeping records on people's personal relationships? Marital status hasn't been a factor in child support, custody, or parent-to-child inheritance law for a long time.
