Dr J updates Todd’s listeners at Issues, Etc. on the progress of NOM’s Summer Marriage Tour–especially the intolerance they experienced in Providence, Rhode Island when a well-organized group of same-sex “marriage” supporters tried to shout them down (as well as intimidating and threatening the listeners). They also discuss a settlement in Mississippi, where a school student wants to bring a same-sex date to prom.
Chris Plante, president of NOM’s Rhode Island Chapter, and Brian Brown, president of NOM, were also at Providence’s “Summer of Marriage” rally with Dr J (see “The Problem(s) with Same-Sex Marriage, Part 2″). The shouting and chanting you hear are the rainbow protestors, who also attended the rally. We also have a few other reports of how they tried to disrupt the rally (here, here, here, here & here, here, and here) as well as audio and video (here, here, here, and here). Much of this is on our blog, too.

Still going on strong, NOM’s Summer Marriage Tour was in Trenton, New Jersey yesterday (July 20). During her 10-minute talk, she addressed the question “Why not privatize marriage?” This is something a lot of libertarians like in principle, but as you’ll hear, Dr J gives examples of why it won’t be sustainable. Listen here or on our podcast page.

Dr J is in Providence, Rhode Island with the NOM Summer Marriage Tour. (You can also listen on our podcast page.) This talk, from July 18, answers the question “Why not privatize marriage?” She’s got a pragmatic answer for a slightly utopian viewpoint.
