National Organization for Marriage is a vile, monstrous hate group.

Their actual plan is to encourage self-segregation as a way of ghettoizing people of color and encouraging POC to focus their frustrations on gays, which will also ensure that POC remain the focus of discussions of cultural homophobia.

One doesn’t need to tease out intersections of oppression or divide and conquer strategies. They are out in the open.

From documents obtained from the National Organization for Marriage (‘cept the gayz obvi):

“The strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks—two key Democratic constituencies. Find, equip, energize and connect African American spokespeople for marriage, develop a media campaign around their objections to gay marriage as a civil right; provoke the gay marriage base into responding by denouncing these spokesmen and women as bigots…”

“The Latino vote in America is a key swing vote, and will be so even more so in the future, both because of demographic growth and inherent uncertainty: Will the process of assimilation to the dominant Anglo culture lead Hispanics to abandon traditional family values? We must interrupt this process of assimilation by making support for marriage a key badge of Latino identity - a symbol of resistance to inappropriate assimilation.”

Wow. JUST. Wow.
