At a Maine "rally" attended by a sprinkling of reporters and, perhaps, a custodian accidentally walking by, Peter LaBarbera's Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality jokesters revealed that not only can they not find even a dozen people to show up to support their cause (blogger Pam Spaulding counted nine "Yes On 1" supporters; 15 "No" supporters; 10 reporters; 1 security guard), but they don't even understand the current climate around same-sex marriage. LaBarbera, in a quote that could easily be taken out of context, says "the elephant in the room is homosexuality … mainstreaming homosexuality." Hmmm. Like, really? 'Cause we're pretty sure this whole "loving people of the same sex" thing is playing in HD on a 60" flat panel with Dolby surround sound for the entire state to see. And if that weren't the case, then a group that calls itself Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality isn't doing such a great job spreading the truth, now are they?

Like most of the Religulous Reich, AFTAH couldn't recognise the truth even if it whacked them in the face with a cast-iron frying pan. Which, metaphorically speaking, is what we all hope will happen next week.
Could the elephant in the room be HIS homosexuality?
That's a Freudian slip if I ever heard one – haha!
Out-of-Staters! Maine voters know better and are educated more than most of America. I didn't say ALL!
Thanks to Out-of-Staters, we may get a Democrat in the 23rd District of New York (and maybe Gay Marriage!)
Release the NOM petition names!
Rumor has it this bigot has the largest collection of gay porn in the country. He frequents gay clubs to observe people getting it on and reporting back to this followers just how bad and unhealthy our behavior is claiming that he collects gay porn for research. Hmmmmmmmm, why isn't he frequenting straight swinger clubs and why is he hanging on to all that porn in the first place? He protests far too much to be credible.
how the heck can homosexuality be the secret when its a vote on gay marriage? gay people are about as secret gravity.
