Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady made news earlier this year for coming out in support of marriage equality, then again on Tuesday when he abruptly resigned from his post. Though he said his resignation was definitely not due to minor backlash from the GOP over same-sex marriage, today NOM's head homophobe Brian Brown is carving a lonely notch in his bedpost, whether or not its deserved.

It appears not everyone was as thrilled as we were with Rhode Island's passage of marriage equality on Wednesday.

NOM's Brian Brown shockingly (read: not shockingly) chose to rain on our parade, but if it's possible, he may have been even more mean spirited than usual.

Comparisons between the gay rights movement and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's aren't new, but NOM head Brian Brown's comparison of his group's march against marriage equality to the historic civil rights marches of that period...well that's unexpected. 

“I was not alive during the Civil Rights Movement but this is what it must have felt like,” Brown said.

Oh, really now?

The National Organization's sugar daddy has really come through this time as the anti-gay group announces a $500,000 donation that will go to its hate fest in front of the Supreme Court next month. 

It looks there's at least one donor still willing to throw cash in the National Organization for Marriage's (NOM) direction.

Brian Brown, puppet for the Vatican's anti-gay motives, regurgitates his anti-civil-rights talking points in an unsurprisingly shrill reaction to President Obama's second inauguration. Prepare your eyes for rolling and follow the jump for your daily dose of asshattery. 

The National Organization for Marriage won't take civil rights support from republican leaders in Illinois lying down (they prefer doggy style, we hear). In response to Wednesday's big news that Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady has thrown his weight behind marriage equality, NOM has pledged $250,00 to his defeat as well as the defeat of any pro-gay GOPer in the state.

NOM's Brian Brown and former head/chair Maggie Gallagher have finally conceded to the big wins for marriage equality that took place on Election Night. Check out what the homophobic activists have to say about the major defeat after the jump. 

Joy, oh, joy! There's nothing we love more with our cup of morning Joe than a bowful of hate.

Our pals at the National Organization For Marriage (Inequality) had posted a new ad to their YouTube page. But, guess what? They took it down. Why? Because it's a doozy! You can still view it on their homepage or…
