I just can't take the National Organization for Marriage seriously, because... their name is NOM. (I can haz marriage rites? no! you cannot haz!)

The Iowa Supreme Court smackdown was awesome, though. (Iowa. Iowa, before California. I'm still in shock.)

I've had this exact thought about the silliness of NOM's name. Though mainly I've been ragey at the people they send on TV (I really wish Dan Savage were on every single show rebutting every single one of them, Joe Solomnese is too damn nice, and lets them talk over him.)

Well, to be fair, the California Courts did, effectively, exactly the same thing. Which is why we had same sex marriages happening here for a while. Iowa just doesn't have the same populist ease for getting something on the ballot.

This is true! I'm just bitter.

NOM have apparently changed their name to 2M4M.

Um.

I know! SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT. Even better, they didn't get on the ball and register 2m4m.org, so someone else did... (http://2m4m.org/)
