NEWS FLASH

Head Of New Hampshire Anti-Gay Group Considering Run For Governor | In another indication that same-sex marriage may become a major issue ahead of New Hampshire’s primary, Politico reports that Kevin Smith, director of Cornerstone Action — the group that’s leading the charge to repeal the state’s marriage equality law — is contemplating running for governor. Cornerstone, which has been instrumental to opposing same-sex marriage in New Hampshire and leading the charge to repeal it, is closely linked to anti-gay groups like the Alliance Defense Fund, the Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, and the National Organization for Marriage and has “endorsed the discredited ‘ex-gay’ therapy groups such as Exodus International, Love Won Out, PFOX, and the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH).”
