"The latter does not imply the former," he said. "Rather, it affirms the great good of bringing the two halves of humanity together so that a man and a woman may bond with each other and with any children who come from their union."

But, of course, the latter DID imply the former when the latter was formed by virulently anti-LGBT groups such as NOM and the Family Research Council. Cordileone has been told time and again that the reason these groups were considered hate groups is because they willfully disseminated false, derogatory information about homosexuality.

Of course, if Christian Right leaders like Tony Perkins continue to "advance" their cause with graphics like these, then they're sure to garner the ridicule they deserve***:


All Joseph Farahs aside, the strategies of the Christian Right still include portraying gays as violent predators with mafia-like tactics, pawns of Satan who are only redeemable through harmful pray-away-the-gay therapy.

Decline But Not Fall

Steven Miller may be right when it comes to the shifting of strategies from the Evangelical Right: declining numbers in Fundamentalist and Southern Baptist denominations, for example, point to a decrease in outRight "believers," especially among youth.
But recently, a rather secretive gaggle, The Princeton Group, met to discuss different strategies. The group included:

Brian Brown, Presidetn of NOM

Maggie Ghallagher of NOM

Alan Sears of Alliance Defending Freedom (founded by Pat Robertson). Sears is also the author of The Homosexual Agenda: Exposing the Principal Threat to Religious Freedom Today.
Frank Cannon of American Principles Project (chief opposition to Common Core)
John Henry Crosby of Hildebrand Legacy Project (opposition to Vatican II)
Luis Tellez of The Witherspoon Institute (conservative think tank opposed to same-sex marriage)
William Mumma of The Becket Fund (freedom of religion)

John Eastman of The Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence (heavily anti-Obama)
