USA: NOM’s Twitter Feed, Facebook Page Also Hacked, With Hilarious Results

Thursday, April 12th, 2012

NOM LogoAbsolutely hilarious. At first blush it was thought that the National Organization for Marriage was apologizing for its race-baiting tactics. Jeremy Hooper of GoodAsYou reported that both the anti-LGBT org’s Facebook page and Twitter account also seemed to reflect a change in attitude.

The web site is now “down for maintenance.” We’ll see if Brian Brown can get his hate machine’s act together before we can enjoy much more of this. The Washington Blade:

Following the forum, organiser Toro Productions tweeted “A quick analysis of the last 50 tweets: We reached 21,144 ppl and exposed 35,262 impressions http://t.co/R6XSTTHX AMAZING! #Equality.”

In her contributions to the forum Keneally urged people to find common ground with supportive people of faith on the issue and warned that civil unions would “undermine marriage for straight families” as well as same-sex couples if introduced instead of full marriage equality.

Australia: Twitter Forum for Marriage Equality Thursday

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

Australia Gay Marriage ForumFormer NSW premier Kristina Keneally will be one of a panel of special guest contributors in a live Twitter forum on marriage equality, taking place from 8-9pm this Thursday, September 29.

Keneally recently outlined her support for same-sex marriage on ABC TV’s Q and A and in an article in Eureka Street magazine.

“If we accept that heterosexual people who are physically unable to have children are able to express themselves in physical acts, why then aren’t people who God created with a homosexual orientation able to do the same?” Keneally wrote in Eureka Street in response to religious disapproval of same-sex relationships.
