NOM's Brian Brown: Prop 8 challenge "biggest strategic mistake" for gay rights

SiriusXM's Michelangelo Signorile interviews Brian Brown of the anti-gay hate group National Organization for Marriage:



From the 7:30 mark: “We are going to win at the Supreme Court,” he said. “It will be shown to be the biggest strategic mistake the supporters of same-sex marriage ever have made [to challenge Prop 8]. And the reality is that all of them knew this. All of the major [gay] groups knew this. They knew this was the wrong time. We’re going to find that out. Justice Kennedy is not going to launch another culture war like Roe. He’s not going to have Supreme Court interject and short circuit the Democratic process.”

Mind you, Brown was speaking here before the news broke that John Eastman, NOM's national board chair, said that Supreme Court Justice John Roberts had chosen the “second best option" by adopting children.  Not exactly how to win friends and influence people, I'd say.

Also, after Brown's statements GOP Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio reversed his position and came out for marriage equality.

All that said, I'm not sure how unified all these GOP "standard bearers" are in their positions on the issue.
