Creating a deeper public relations mess

The National Organization for Marriage -- the people who put out a stormy ad against gay marriage that has been endlessly debunked and parodied on YouTube -- has come up with another promotional mess. They started a campaign "Two Million for Marriage" using the shorthand 2M4M. Two problems: (1) That shorthand and the related MM4M has long been used to show interest in three-way gay sex (no elaboration from me…). (2) They didn't register the obvious website domain name of 2M4M.org. So there is now a site at that address using the title Two Men for Marriage. It will promote the opposite of what NOM intended. Here is an excerpt from their succinct Ten Reasons Gay Marriage is Wrong:

1. Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
