Oh please. Look at this video from the Alliance Defense Fund pimping its purported successes in the end-of-year plea to fill the coffers video to justify its existence.
Unfortunately, as Jeremy at Good As You notes, the ADF “victories” aren’t particularly numerous enough to deserve this dramatic, heavy breathing self-pat on the back.“The advocates of homosexual behavior have almost unlimited resources available to them. They will do whatever it takes to try to win and we’ve (ADF) got to be there.”
In California, the ADF’s Glen Lavy was in the Supreme Court making his case for keeping gays barred. The Supreme Court, however, rejected his side’s arguments. Also, among other marriage cases: The legal beagles also tried, unsuccessfully, to stop New York state from recognizing out-of-state unions. In fact, as far as their gay nup-barring court activities are concerned, it seems to have been a pretty crummy year for this “pro-marriage” outfit. It would seem to us that the anti-gay movement succeeded DESPITE the ADF’s inability to effectively win in court, not because of it.

Are you saying that in the midst of creeping recession and across-the-board belt tightening, only the gays have the disposable income necessary to carry on the fight against marriage? And that committed family-values conservatives are too cash strapped and concerned with making it day to day to donate the millions necessary to fund a bunch of stuffed shirt Christian lawyers in their Quixotic crusade to defend the holy matrimony?
See, I bet little old ladies in Alabama and South Carolina would be happy to open their wallets, but their pills are just so gosh darn expensive and no one was fighting for universal health care. Oops. Seems the wingnut welfare brigades have shot themselves in the foot once more.
