So, it has been revealed that the National Organization for Marriage is actually, wait for it, a SUPER SECRET CONSPIRACY BETWEEN THE MORMON QUORUM OF 12 AND OPUS DEI. It was right under our noses all along.
That's an actual theory being advanced in the gay press.
The evidence is tissue-thin, but the premise itself just begs to be mocked. First of all, the "Quorum of 12" sounds like it should be running the Cylon Empire. And as for Opus Dei, personally I think self-flagellation is pretty gross, but anybody who thinks it is a good idea for gays to vilify other people by implying that they are masochists has never been to International Mr. Leather or the Folsom Street Fair. People who live in glass dungeons and all that.
Maggie Gallagher is many things, but somehow I doubt she is coordinating a bizarre alliance of secretive super-wealthy cultists in a plot to deprive us of our civil rights. She's not Lex Luthor or anything. Luthor is much better dressed, and I doubt he would ever get into a spat with Perez Hilton.
Now if you will excuse me, I need to write a letter to the President demanding that he produce his birth certificate.

I take it you’re unaware Battlestar Galactica is based on Mormon theology.

just curious – you say “the gay press” as if it is some monolithic entity. Is it? You link to an article published in the South Florida Blade. I haven’t seen a similar story in the Advocate or 365Gay. Does an opinion expressed in a single gay publication automatically translate into that idea being advanced by the “gay press” as a whole?
Besides, though you mock the article, I didn’t see where the author was claiming there was a “SUPER SECRET CONSPIRACY BETWEEN THE MORMON QUORUM OF 12 AND OPUS DEI” (your scary all caps) rather he was pointing out that NOM has ties to both organizations. Hardly a surprise that.
And one more thing, the “Quorum of 12” of Battlestar Galactica to which you refer didn’t run the Cylon Empire – they were actually part of the human civilian government – I think they had a function rather like the old Roman Senate, but I could be wrong on that.
