Anti-LGBT rights group launches campaign to repeal New York marriage equality
An anti-gay rights group is furious at New York Republican lawmakers for helping to legalize same sex marriage in the state.
A fundraising letter from the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) announced that the group plans multiple rallies in New York to begin a campaign to repeal marriage equality, which was signed into law by Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on June 24.
The group also launched an attack on Republicans who helped pass the law, saying that they “sold out the party’s base, the party’s principles, and the timeless institution of marriage.”
“The fight to take back New York begins,” NOM president Brian Brown declared. “Now it gets serious. Now, it’s also a fight to take back the Republican Party from the forces who wish to abandon marriage: the so-called new ‘pro-equality Republicans.’”
