The first federal trial to determine if the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from outlawing same-sex marriage gets under way in San Francisco on Monday, and the two gay couples on whose behalf the case was brought will be among the first witnesses.

The National Organization for Marriage, a group vehemently opposed to same-sex marriage, has fallen into incredible debt.

The group ended 2013 with $2.5 million in debt, according to an analysis of its 2013 tax return by the Human Rights Campaign.

An between 2012 and 2013, NOM saw a staggering 50 percent drop in donations. The group raised $5.1 million in 2013, and two donors accounted for more than half the money raised by the group, according to HRC.

The National Organization for Marriage spends its time and money fighting same-sex marriage and attacking openly gay Republican candidates.

    Apparently their definition of “family values” doesn’t include fiscal responsibility. It would be interesting to find out how they spent $7.6 million dollars in a year.

    Rich people normally get rich by being particularly good with their investments. What two morons were stupid enough to invest over a $million each in 2013, when in 2012 the SCOTUS already had pretty much established gay marriage as the law of the land. Talk about a loosing investment.
