It's Hard Out Here for Homophobic Assholes

[marmar]

The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) is busy begging and pleading for money as 2015 comes to a close. This is the organization that’s worked hard against marriage equality, calling it a threat to our children and a “lie” of some sort. Now, it’s falling short of its year-end fundraising goal, and working desperately to guilt their supporters into sending more money so it can continue the fight to keep LGBTQ couples down.

Nick Duffy, of the U.K. website Pink News, receives emails from NOM on a regular basis. Over the last several days, those emails have detailed how NOM will fail to reach its fundraising goals. One email, dated Dec. 28, has the subject line, “Not Going To Make It.” That’s also posted to NOM’s blog, and says, in part:

“Dear Marriage Supporter,

I hate to say it, but right now it looks like we are not going to make our end-of-year matching grant.

Most of our budget is supported by our year-end efforts. Each year a few generous donors band together and generously offer to match whatever we can raise to allow us to keep fighting for marriage and religious liberty.

And every year we have made it.

But now, with four days to go, we are way behind. We must raise $97,000.00 before January 1st to make the $200,000 matching pledge.”

How terrible. A group that supports discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity is seeing its donations dry up. $97,000 is a lot of money to raise in four days.

Duffy quotes another email as saying:

“As the clock ticks toward the New Year, I find myself anxiously awaiting each fundraising report… Please make an emergency year-end financial contribution to support NOM.”

The desperation is strong in this one. NOM also expressed concern and dismay that many of its supporters had not responded to pleas for their year-end “gifts” of money. Perhaps NOM should just cut its losses. ......................(more)
