  2. Wayne Besen March 28, 2012 at 2:01 pm -

    Thanks John –:)

    So Ms. Gallagher does not show to defend the outrageous tactics offered by her NOM is a fraud, dishonest, and uses the race card to try to trump four aces. She is apparently too cowardly to defend her indefensible position. Look ashamed Maggie. Look ashamed.

  4. Jeffrey Fried March 28, 2012 at 3:10 pm -

    Great work reporting on this and for the appearance on MSNBC. Thanks … jeff

  5. Steve March 28, 2012 at 3:13 pm -

    She didn’t show up because MSNBC messed up the scheduling

  6. Julie Nemecek March 28, 2012 at 3:15 pm -

    Glad to have you as a spokesperson. Preach it!!

  7. Laurie Lockliear March 28, 2012 at 3:17 pm -

    Thank you Wayne, for continuing to educate, elevate, and enlighten. Well done – as always.

  8. Dominick J. March 28, 2012 at 3:58 pm -

    Not true Steve. The commentator said in the beginning that Ms Gallagher was called and confirmed to showing up.

    Any way Thanks Wayne, great job..

  9. Monty Ward March 28, 2012 at 4:10 pm -

    Wayne Besen is a hero. He presents the TRUTH.Thanks to this man.

  10. Monty Ward March 28, 2012 at 4:15 pm -

    Gay groups have supportedthe EQUALITY for BLacks, Asians,Lations and YES WOMEN< you still arent EQUAL. Wake up before heterosexual men put your buts back in the closet. STOP THIS IGNORANCE, WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND.
    Note to black religious groups….this isnt a religious issue and we were by your side for equality…take the knife out your Gay Brothers and sisters backs. Im proud to be me,Gay n proud.

  11. Monty Ward March 28, 2012 at 4:21 pm -

    thats Latinos……sorry.

  12. Alex Lucchesi March 28, 2012 at 6:24 pm -

    As per usual, the tactics from the right come straight out of the gutter. This only proves again, that open and accepting people have truth on their side. Acceptance is the key to a better world. Hatred has no place.

  13. william weeks March 28, 2012 at 6:27 pm -

    Thank You Wayne. Excellent job!!

  14. David March 28, 2012 at 6:35 pm -

    Great job Wayne!

  15. Dale March 28, 2012 at 6:48 pm -

    Great job Wayne, though I would have loved to see you debate Maggie Gallagher and expose her for what she really is.

  16. Scott Amundsen March 28, 2012 at 7:30 pm -

    Whether Gallagher failed to show or msnbc made a scheduling error, it was just GREAT to FINALLY see someone state our position without some right-wing nut job brought in to *debate* the issue in the name of some phony sense of *journalistic balance.* I am sick unto death of giving these people equal time. Basic human rights are not an appropriate subject for a debate.

  17. Jerry March 28, 2012 at 9:53 pm -

    Scott–I agree 100%

    Thank you, Maggie for NOT showing up! We’ve seen more than enough of the right wing wacko equal time crap. Now it’s OUR turn to be heard.

    Wayne, you said it all, as you always do.

    Jerry

  18. Bob March 29, 2012 at 2:06 am -

    What luck to have the eloquent Wayne Besen to forcefully defend the right of gay people to partner in matrimony with someone they love. This campaign is prosocial, and affirmative of fundamental human values that are indispensable to a healthy democracy.

    Your always so awesome and very articulate Wayne.. kudos also too the very handsome Thomas Roberts who always stays on top of gay issues!
