NOM admits it can’t find anyone in Oregon to back defence of same-sex marriage ban

The National Organization for Marriage has admitted it is unable to find anyone willing to back its attempt to defend Oregon’s same-sex marriage ban.

Last month the group filed a last-ditch attempt to defend Oregon’s same-sex marriage ban from a court challenge, after the state’s Attorney General declined to do so.

Despite calls for their request to intervene to be thrown out, judge Michael McShane said he would consider their request to hear the ban.

However, in their new legal brief arguing for the right to defend the marriage ban, the group are unable to publicly name a single person in the state that wants them to do so.
