Another NOM loss: Spent $10k, watched pro-equality Dem. grab 74% of vote

April 04, 2012, by Jeremy Hooper

Just filed FEC reports show that NOM spent $10,000 in last night's Maryland state primary hoping to push anti-equality Democrat C. Anthony Muse, a current state senator who voted against the marriage bill, above incumbent U.S. Senator Ben Cardin:

However, the firmly pro-equality Cardin easily prevailed, grabbing a whopping 74% of the vote. According to local reports, NOM's candidate received only around 16% of the vote.

A good sign in terms of NOM's ability (or lack thereof) to stranglehold this state at the November ballot? Here's hoping!

C. Anthony Muse is just another black minister spreading "Biblical" hatred around, like Emmett Burns. It's up to the black gay community to get after these bigots and their false claims about gay people.

"Let the people vote" indeed. NOM doesn't want its supporters to realize that "the people" DO vote, every time there's an election, and that they frequently vote against NOM's candidates. Similarly, NOM-supported Democratic candidate Delano Hunter was trounced in a Washington, DC City Council primary--by an ethically challenged incumbent!--two years ago; not only have they never acknowledged that loss, they also won't acknowledge that Hunter now says he accepts same-sex marriage as "settled law". (And yet another fact NOM won't acknowledge: not a single DC City Council member who had supported same-sex marriage was voted out of office in the election after the same-sex marriage legislation was passed.)
