The queers have taken notice of the Wisconsin Marriage Defenders. Joshua Freker, Communications Director of the sodomite group Action WisconSIN, has featured us on his "Fair Wisconsin" blog (or should that be "Fairy Wisconsin"?).

One of the responses was posted by local lesbian, Kay Springstroh.

Kay remarked:

{{ I think that's our man Teno to the right of "John Wayne the Baptist" on the podium. So much for God is Love, apparently. }}

Yes Kay, that IS an exhibition of God's love. According to the Bible you are a lost sinner on your way to hell (as were we all prior to receiving Jesus Christ as Saviour). Not only that, you are living a DEATHstyle that kills most sodomites before age 40. Someone who is silent, or enables, condones, or supports your deadly "choice" and lets you risk killer diseases, early death, and eternal hell doesn't love you at all. They are the worst enemy you could ever have. Those of us who are willing to plainly point out the TRUTH to you are the ones who are concerned with your physical and spiritual well-being, even if you revile us for it.

It is an honor to be receiving publicity from the opposition. It's a confirmation that we are being heard and having an effect.

They seem more unhinged than Michele Bachmann if that's possible. http://wismd.blogspot.com

TG: We don't hate them, as explained in the first letter and on http://wismd.blogspot.com/2006/03/wmd-on-map.html

Over on Action Wisconsin's blog today, I read an entry about a far-right (and that's being nice) group, the Wisconsin Marriage Defenders (do I hear trumpets blaring?), out of Oshkosh, focused on passing the constitutional amendment to ban marriage, civil unions, and any other generic term recognizing the existence of gay and lesbian couples and their families. Apparently, they have connections to the lovely Ralph Ovadal of the Pilgrims Covenant Church. Sounds sweet, don't it?

This group seems far more interested in the annihilation of gay people rather than solely keeping them from being able to be recognized. In fact, this group is so far out there that they actually have a poem about gay bashing on their blog. Their primary blogger, Teno Groppi, gave this lovely testimony at the joint hearing back in November.

Even more interesting is that at a 2004 rally for that ban, one of the speakers was our illustrious Mark Gundrum (R-New Berlin), the lead Assembly sponsor of the amendment. Also present was Rep. Carol Owens (R-Oshkosh), who is a cosponsor of the ban. I guess they have no problem associating themselves with people who think the next big Hollyood hit is going to be "Horseback Mountain."

They also did a leafleting "outreach" back in December. Here's what they said about their leafleting:

Wisconsin Marriage Defenders has arranged to team up with Pastor Ralph Ovadal to do a literature distribution and picket on 12-17-05. Doing this in the dead of winter will certainly catch the militant homosexuals asleep and unable to mount a counter attack.

With these being the faces of our opposition going into the campaign, things are going to get very, very interesting. posted by David Schowengerdt

4. The Hate Amendment, coming soon

TG: Again, we don't hate them, as explained in the first letter and on http://wismd.blogspot.com/2006/03/wmd-on-map.html

I do hope all of you are following the news from the Action Wisconsin team and their No on the Amendment! blog. The Assembly seems poised to vote on the amendment to write the ban on gay marriage into the state Constitution next Tuesday (this would be a good time to call your Assemblyperson).

They also have had a number of interesting articles up profiling real people, and a new series profiling the real scary people, including Channel 30 fixture (Makes Me) Ralph Ovadal and the Wisconsin Marriage Defenders. posted by Jay Bullock

So I guess I'd like to know the difference between the Minnesota Citizens in Defense of Marriage or the Wisconsin Marriage Defenders and Fred Phelps of God Hates Fags.
