NOM Board Member Advocates Criminalization of Homosexuality, Overthrow of Government
longer text
In response to the launch of the Carrie Prejean ad campaign against marriage equality, People For the American Way president Michael Keegan issued the following statement:
If the National Organization for Marriage wants to make the comments of a gossip columnist and a beauty queen the subject of a national debate, then it should answer for the bizarre and troubling remarks of its most prominent board member – best-selling science fiction writer Orson Scott Card.
The NOM has argued that it is not a homophobic organization, but Card’s remarks suggest otherwise. Card, who represents the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the board and received an effusive welcome last week from NOM president Maggie Gallagher, supports criminalizing sex between same-sex adults.
Uncle Orson, what the hell is wrong with you??

This page is in need of updating.
The original article should be filed and categorized the same as this one; this article, the ETEV link, and the ScienceBlogs post linked from ETEV should all be listed as commentary.
