Immediate Action Needed to Block SSM in Delaware!

Dear Marriage Supporter, Same-sex marriage advocates in Delaware are very publicly planning a push for a new law to redefine marriage when the Legislature reconvenes for its new session in just over a week. Governor Markell claims that the passage of same-sex marriage in The First State is “inevitable.” But you and I both know […]

Immediate Action Needed to Block SSM in Minnesota!

Dear Marriage Supporter, Just over a month ago, same-sex marriage activists were falling all over themselves to promise voters that a vote against the marriage amendment would NOT bring same-sex marriage to the state. . . .

2012 was an important year for marriage.

Why We're Going to Win

Dear Marriage Supporter, A few days ago, I sat down for an interview with Mike Huckabee to discuss the Proposition 8 and DOMA same-sex marriage cases now headed to the Supreme Court. In follow up to my email on Tuesday, I thought you would enjoy listening to some brief clips from our conversation. Please take […]

Don't Be Fooled: They DON'T Want This Fight

Dear Marriage Supporter, E.J. Graff has been a leading voice in the charge for same-sex marriage for well over a decade. But now that same-sex marriage is on the doorstep of the Supreme Court, she’s nervous. More than that: she’s scared. As she wrote last week in The Advocate: If the court does take up […]

VICTORY! Supreme Court Takes Up Prop 8!

Dear Marriage Supporter, I have some AMAZING good news to share with you. Yesterday afternoon the Supreme Court announced it would take up the Proposition 8 case! We believe this is a strong signal that the Supreme Court will ultimately reverse the lower courts and uphold Proposition 8, thereby respecting the voices of over seven […]

Answering the Questions, NOM Marriage News

Dear Marriage Supporter, The results of the 2012 Election were extremely disappointing on many levels, not least because of the voter approval of same-sex marriage in Maine, Maryland and Washington, and the voter rejection of a proposed amendment to the Minnesota constitution defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Going into […]

A Tough Election, NOM Marriage News

Dear Marriage Supporter, It was a very tough election for marriage.

She said she thought that the reading from Paul’s letter to the Philippians seemed to […]

NEW: The Best Arguments Against Same-Sex Marriage

Dear Marriage Supporter, Our opponents will use the election results to push the idea that the radical redefinition of marriage is “inevitable.” Now more than ever, we have to fight back hard with prayers—and with strong arguments.
