Anti-gay crusader admits the sky won't fall

by: Juan Melli

Wed Feb 20, 2008 at 03:39:10 PM EST



A common refrain from those who oppose equal rights for gay couples is that allowing gays to marry and raise families will somehow throw the earth off its axis and crumble the institution of marriage.

But yesterday at the Statehouse we were treated to some unexpected honesty from John "Chicken Little" Tomicki, president of the misnamed "New Jersey Coalition to Preserve and Protect Marriage."

Chairman of Garden State Equality Steven Goldstein, who was married in Canada a few years ago, confronted Tomicki about his claims during a press conference.

Goldstein: "You're still married after 50 years, right? So my marriage has not affected your marriage."

Tomicki responded incredulously: "Why would it?"

And now with that smoke screen blown away, there's not much left to hide the naked homophobia.
