Brian Brown, executive director of NOM, doesn't shy away from the fact his group is hoping to intimidate wavering lawmakers into opposing gay marriage.
“The message is clear, that supporting same-sex marriage is a losing issue, not a winning issue,” Brown told msnbc.com. “You could lose your career over supporting same-sex marriage.”
He also doesn't buy the argument that gay marriage is a settled issue in New York, even though a May 2012 poll by Quinnipac University found the state's voters support same-sex marriage 54 to 37 percent.
"If we don’t get a vote this year, we’re going to work to get one next year. We’re not going away," Brown said. "I think it’s just wishful thinking to say that once you have same-sex marriage the fight’s over. It’s not."

talk about a losing battle.....
You mean Brown’s is the losing battle? I guess many would view it that way at this juncture... Time will tell...
“Elected official” is not a career, or at least it shouldn’t be.
This is an unspeakable evil that they left promotes as a "lifestyle just like the rest of us".
The great deceiver is laughing...
Well, JC Penney backed the gay agenda and look what has happened to them. The fight isn’t lost ... 2% or less of the population should not be the tail wagging the dog. The 2% are agile, hostile & mobile .... and overplaying their hand - a good example is what they did in the WH recently. Those pictures need to go viral. Folks need to stand up and speak up for what is ‘right’, not go along to get along with the political correctness that will rip apart the moral fabric of the country and ultimately contribute to its destruction.
Since when is morality a phobia???
Well at that rate why don't you just tell us yourself, "homosexual agenda scottjewel."
I hope Brown’s is not a losing battle.
I think the worst of it is that the gay rights agenda has been framed as simply a civil rights issue, without any thought to what is being dismantled and made more and more disordered in the social sphere. And masses of people are more than happy to go along with it.
It is not that gay marriage itself is wrecking traditional marriage; it is that traditional marriage was already attacked and the gays jumped on this deterioration to make the situation worse, to drive their wedge in.
having been married since 1973, I can attest to the sanctity of the institution.
Not broke, but losing lots & lots of money:
As Ford Motors will tell you, siding with radical homosexuals has its price. And in J.C. Penney’s case, the cost is about $163 million. According to the Wall Street Journal, J.C. Penney’s stock “has lost more than a third of its value since a disastrous earnings report in mid-May, when Penney’s posted a $163 million loss and said sales fell 20% in the first three months of its fiscal year.” CEO Ron Johnson also admitted that Father’s Day sales were a bust. “Penney’s shares fell 8.8% Tuesday to their lowest level in a year, [and] store traffic was down 10%.”

Yes indeed, I can as well.
But there can be no doubt that there has been a massive deterioration in the general society regarding this sanctity. Without that, same sex marriage would never have been able to even get its foot in the door. And if finally entrenched, will destroy any hope of reversing the tide.

Please make note of it.
“2% or less of the population should not be the tail wagging the dog. The 2% are agile, hostile & mobile .... and overplaying their hand .”
Well, well said.
Ah, I see. Sorry. And yes, duly noted.
Until the King of England started taxing marriage in the 1500's (or 1600's...) governments of the world had ZERO role in the institution until the King of England decided to tax marriages in order to enrich himself.
There is no term 'marriage' in the Constitution or Bill of Rights because it is a RELIGIOUS institution. Freedom of Religion *is* protected by the United States Constitution. That freedom includes freedom from Government intervention into the Church.
Now, the entire discussion around marriage in a context of the "government's role" or "government definition" is completely wrong and people need to stop falling for it.
Rather, marriage should be defended as a RELIGIOUS institution, and as such is exempt from government meddling into it under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
That removes the issue from state AND federal manipulation of the issue and would force the United States Supreme Court to rule the Government has no role in the "definition of marriage."
The definition of marriage already exists in the Religious context.
Game, set, match.
Why don't other's see this as clearly?! Stop asking the Government to define marriage and tell them to stop it, and get out of the marriage "business" altogether! It is after all a revenue generating SCHEME for the Government!
Enough!
Yes, I become livid when I hear talk of “the constitutional right to marry a person of one’s own choosing” and “the right to marry is a fundamental civil right” - and all of this is said more than you would care to think.
Yes, government could well get out of the marriage business, and that is a libertarian view. However, it was after all government being in the marriage business which made it a solemn affair even for those who were not so religious.
But of course as you assert, is has now opened the door for redefinition. And with amendments coming up in several states in the November elections, you must realize this is a political reality in the U.S. currently.
I’ve come to the conclusion that only the complete collapse of Western civilization (something not nearly as unthinkable as it was a decade ago) will stop this and many other evils being visited upon us.
Absent that, the war is indeed over.
Sure, battles will be fought on a state by state basis for a long time, but the polling on the issue has showed a steady increase in acceptance for sexual deviancy as the basis for marriage for decades.
The next rampart to fall will be the first State election in which a majority either approves of homo marriage or votes down a measure to stop it, and it won’t be long in coming. It would likely have happened in California in ‘08 were it not for the large increase in black voters going to the polls to vote 0bozo in. Talk about a pyrric victory..
The time to stop it was decades ago when radical leftists effectively gained control of almost all public educational institutions. Seems to me that enough damage has been done now that only social upheaval on a very large scale might possibly wake the people (at least the surviving people..) up.

I love good news on Sunday morning.

I have reached similar conclusions. The decadence is simply too deeply-rooted, and the new lifestyles too entrenched (going back to the ‘60s) for anything short of massive upheaval to bring in a new order (or a return to a former state of order).
Of course, those who engineered this “counter culture -become-main stream culture” knew that this would be the case.
