NOM sinks into 'Porno Pete' territory

How desperate is the National Organization for Marriage to put up some of defense after its loss in New York?

This desperate.

 On its blog, NOM features a video from Jon Stewart's The Daily Show showing scenes from a New York gay pride parade.

The point of the clip is to laugh at stereotypes, but NOM tries desperately to wring some serious negative social commentary from the clip:

We warn you that you may not want your kids to see this gay pride parade. But of course Jon Stewart has a huge audience of young people:


The irony is that NOM is now heading directly into the crazy territory of long-time homophobe and anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera, or as he is affectionately known by many of us in the community - Porno Pete.

LaBarbera got his nickname for his penchant of going to subcultural events, such as leather conventions, and going into detail about the alleged acts of gay men there while pretty much ignoring the behaviors of heterosexuals attending the same events.

If NOM keeps doing stuff like this, then nicknames may be order for its leaders.

How about "Brown-Eye Brian Brown" for starters?

That was great! I hope lots of NOM supporters watch it. Not all of them can be that blind. But then there are a bunch of real stupid people out there who will believe anything.
Love the Brown-eye-Brown !

I will always think of him as Glossu Rabban, aka Beast Rabban, the thuggish nephew of Dune's Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. He looks like he was born to be cast in the role of Rabban. Otherwise, he looks like some brawling fratboy, the kind who beats up protesters at Republican rallies.
