Article: “NOM President Claims Marriage Equality Will ‘Normalize Pedophilia'”
What NOM is actually doing is attempting to compare homosexuality to pedophilia, as evidenced by the fact that Brown chose to reference the APA’s decision to remove homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses.

Blog Post: “Letting Go of Religious Privilege”
Godless people are not required to respect superstition, prophets or religious acts performed or directed at them. If you say “I’ll pray for you” to me, I may laugh in your face… Don’t expect me to bow my head during a prayer, public or private. It’s your fallacy, not mine.
