What Are Anti-Gay Groups Hidding?

This coming Sunday, September 13th, there will be a Stand for Marriage Rally held at the Civic Center in Augusta, Maine. The rally is being organized by Focus on the Family, The Maine Jeremiah Project, Family Research Council and Stand for Marriage Maine, which includes the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland.

Many well-known, anti-gay leaders, including Bishop Richard Malone and Tony Perkins are expected to speak to those in attendance and will bee accompanied by religious leaders from Maryland and California.

The anti-gay Focus on the Family’s James Dobson is expected to participate via video message.

If you want to attend, you can do so for free if you can get a ticket. But, if you’re planning to attend, don’t tell anyone you’re a member of the media because the media will not be allowed inside the event.

Now, if the groups are genuinely convinced they have a message that should be heard, then why keep the media out? Are they worried they’ll be harassed about where the funding to help uphold discrimination is coming from? Perhaps they’ve simply figured out the lies and hate they spew are too easy to challenge? In any case, I find it very odd that such powerful anti-gay groups who are fighting to protect the sanctity of marriage are afraid of and hiding from the media. You’d think they’d welcome the press to help get out the word of how the gay agenda is to bring the nation to it’s knees by gaining equality.
