I hope this couple can buy a huge, beautiful, full-floor flat in their favorite part of NYC with the money they make from suing these F__ktards into the red. Go get ‘em, boys!

There is no “they” in Public Advocate. Public Advocate is run in its entirety by Eugene Delgaudio, a member of the Board of Supervisors of Loudoun County, VA. It truly appears that Public Advocate is nothing more than a cash cow for Delgaudio – he rakes in hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from little old ladies and right-wing wack jobs whom he terrifies with weekly emails about the “rabid homosexuals” who regularly “threaten [his] life and family.” This is completely typical behavior for him.

Someone should add this bit of thievery to his wikipedia page.
He appears to be another of those polititian/grifters.

Queerty’s article stated, ‘Eugene Delgaudio, told the Post, “Other groups make fair use of our materials or [and the] 2,000 photos from our website under these broad principles of political education.”’

It will be amusing to see what happens if they try to run that argument past a judge! If he thinks the “everyone does it” defense will work, try that with a speeding ticket.

BTW, there was an incident in San Francisco several years ago where some porn-shop owner put an ad outside his store using a photoshopped image of a scantily clad guy lifted off of a European-based dating site, with photoshop used to add some dildos. Unfortunately for the store owner, the guy whose picture he used lived in San Francisco and saw it. He was a therapist or something and sued or threatened to sue due to the damage this picture would obviously do to his reputation – people would assume he was modeling for the porn shop. The porn shop owner whined about it, but he had no leg to stand on as he clearly violated copyright laws.

I hope these two do the same thing – sue for damages. They are not even public figures.

NOM’s Robert P George is at it again, hiring a scholar, a term used with derision, named Regnerus to slap together a bogus study in time for the 2012 election that says gays are unfit for parenthood. The same underhanded methods were used to gather fraudulent data similar to attempts to drive a wedges between blacks and gays, then Jews and gays. University of Texas, Austin has rules against Academic fraud. Sign the petition to have University officials call for an investigation. Robert P. George is using researchers to bolster his homophobic agenda and will resort to giving grants amounting to $785,000.00 in order to get his ill-gotten data in time for the 2012 election. Romney signed the NOM pledge. These two are so gross.

Re No 11: I’m not impressed. BTW, when I tried to cross check this guy’s claim that Robert P. George personally(?) arranged for the funding, I ran across this article:

http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/unofficial-prognosis/2012/06/16/why-mark-regnerus-study-shouldnt-matter-even-if-it-were-the-most-scientifically-robust-study-in-the-world/

It had a critique of the paper Regnerus wrote, but the only “link” to George was in a comment by the same LBGT “activist” and maybe a few others, who seems to be posting his theory about funding in comment sections or in their own articles.

I could not find a credible source showing that George in fact arranged funding personally. If you have one, provide a link to it. George doesn’t seem to be directly associated with NOM at present – he’s listed as having an emeritus position (i.e., he “retired” but they want to keep mentioning his name).

If I were in their position I wouldn’t demand financial compensation, I would demand a public apology – the more public the better. Ideally, a series of prime-time-slot adverts on Colorado radio & TV.

Screw a public apology. That will teach him nothing. I can just hear it now: “Though I am sorry for utilizing a photograph without authorization I still contend these heathens are human scum.” Yeah, that’s really helpful.

Suing would be a giant pain in the ass, unfortunately, because the guy will surely have millionaire anti-gay tea party jerks giving him top notch lawyers; and the gay couple will have similar support from gay anti-defamation groups. It will last forever, be appealed, blah blah blah…

All that being said, there isn’t a judge in the WORLD who wouldn’t side with the couple in the photo. Ownership of the photo aside, by using it in advertising you inherently suggest that they have some sort of association with the organization in question (even if the photo is using them to demonstrate what the organization is against.) To say that indicating a married gay couple are associated with an odious anti-gay group is defamatory is an understatement.

Gosh, I thought it was a depiction of Yesua being kissed by one of his disciples.
