The National Organization for Marriage, is a nonprofit organization with a mission to protect marriage and the faith communities that sustain it. It was founded in 2007 in response to the growing need for an organized opposition to same-sex marriage in state legislatures, NOM serves as a national resource for marriage-related initiatives at the state and local level. For decades, pro-family organizations have educated the public about the importance of marriage and the family, but have lacked the organized, national presence needed to impact state and local politics in a coordinated and sustained fashion. NOM seeks to fill that void, organizing as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization, giving it the flexibility to lobby and support marriage initiatives across the nation. I have done some volunteer work for NOM and of course, I support its aims. I wish to invite all the likely-minded to support NOM in its struggle to protect marriage, the families, and the freedom of speech needed to defend these values.

I'm no fan of beauty pageants and take a dim view of anyone associated with their production (as a contestant, judge or in any other role). So, when it comes to issues as important as marriage and civil equality for all families, the last people I want to hear from are pageant participants like Ms. Prejean or Mr. Hilton, no matter what side they might claim to represent. Whether it's his condemnation of discrimination or her defense of religious principle, both are tainted by association with the degrading spectacle that is The Miss USA pageant.
And now NOM are spending money to draw further attention to the debased "debate" between these two purveyors of trash culture?
What a waste.
I see what you are saying and, as I said on my previous post on this matter, I don't watch pageants either for reasons similar to the ones you hold.
This pageant would have been relegated to relative obscurity had "Pérez Hilton" asked another question or Miss Prejean given a vanilla answer. Alas, it didn't happen that way and the matter must be addressed. Silence before the violation of Miss Prejean's religious expression rights would mean consenting to the outrage.
Yesterday it was Miss Prejean but tomorrow you or I can become the victim of bigotry and censorhip by same-sex marriage proponents.
For this reason, we can't let the outrage perpetrated on Carrie Prejean go unchallenged. I support the need for this add and its propriety.
Thank you for your comments!

Looks like Jesus hates gays but is ok with fake breasts.
Jesus loves everybody, "Hilton Perez," Carrie Prejean, me, and even you, without preconditions.
Once you accept that love, don't expect that you will remain the same.
