I took video of the Atlanta National Organization for Marriage rally, August 7, 2010, but because of problems uploading to YouTube, and some personal issues.  This is the first I can share them with people.  There are five videos, and I still have to edit the video I took of the LGBT rally at Woodruff Park, before the NOM rally.

This first one is called, “Atlanta LGBT Community at NOM Rally, August 7, 2010.” On This video, we see the LGBT come together to face the National Organization for Marriage at the Georgia State Capital Building and show their faces to be visible. NOM has a tiny crowd compared to the LGBT Community, as NOM tries to drum up support for their archaic attitudes toward love, marriage and commitment.

With the divorce rate at 50%, maybe straight people should worry about fixing their own marriages instead making a mockery of it. With their bad track record, they shouldn’t be telling others how to run their lives.

Number 2 is “The Atlanta Speech of Brian Brown, from the National Organization for Marriage.”  Listen to Brian Brown at the Atlanta rally, August 7, 2010. His anger toward Judge Walker on the Prop 8 case and gay people in general shows that he is real scared that what he has been fighting against may just win. It is so interesting to watch people who are on the wrong side of history losing grip on their tedious power structure. I’m glad we caught it on video.

Number 3 is “Interview with Brian Brown, from the National Organization for Marriage.” On this video, through Paul Schappaugh, the Atlanta LGBT community asks question of Brian Brown, the ED for NOM. Judge for yourself on accuracy, or lack thereof, of his answers. With the divorce rate at 50%, maybe he should be helping straight people fix their own marriages instead trying to tell same-sex couples they can’t get married.

We found out later that he said that Dr. Alveda King was “attacked and smeared.” This is an out-and-out lie. Apparently, the importance of telling the truth is not part of his Bible.

Number 4 is “The Atlanta Speech of Tanya Ditty, the Georgia Director for the Concern Women for America.” Listen to the speech by Tanya Ditty, the Georgia Director for the Concern Women for America, given at the Atlanta NOM rally, August 7, 2010. She is big on quoting stats about children needing to grow up with a mother and father, but failed to tell people that these statistics came from studies having to do with single parents and nothing to do with same-sex couples.

Here’s another person who misuses facts, makes up facts out of thin air and refuses to see the true facts that are out there.

And, Number 5 is “An Interview with Tanya Ditty, the Georgia Director for the Concern Women for America.” This is interesting in how she dodges questions on various subjects, to hide the fact she really doesn’t know anything. She keeps harping on “traditional marriages.”

I wonder how far back she wants to go with this “traditional marriage” thing? In the time of Christ, women were property, for the express purpose of producing male heirs for men. Only male children from a woman he has a marriage contract with can legally be his heirs. That lasted until the late 19th Century.

So, does she want to go back to where women are nothing more the property of men? I think it’s time for the Concern Women for America to be concern about more important things.
