(July 20, 2010) 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.

(July 18, 2010) 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 "Redefining Marriage Redefines Parenthood").  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, and here) as well as audio and video (here, here, here, and here).  Much of this is on our blog, too.
