Gay
Rights Group will Distribute Literature Today Likening Kris Mineau
to Flesh-Eating Alien in ‘Twilight Zone’
Know Thy
Neighbor.org, a gay rights group, will be distributing an information
packet today at the State House which casts Kris Mineau, president
of the Massachusetts Family Institute, as a man-eating alien in a
parody of an obscure episode of the Twilight Zone.
The group will be dressed
as waiters, and will pass out their information in the form of a menu,
along with the parody story of how Mineau is really like the nefarious
alien in the TV show.
Legislators are expected
to vote on the marriage amendment on Wednesday. Know thy Neighbor
is just one gay rights group hoping to convince legislature to violate
the constitution and ignore the ballot initiative, as the legislature
did in 2002, when the protection of marriage amendment went before
the Constitutional Convention.
Know Thy Neighbor operates
a website with a searchable database that lists all the signers of
the marriage petition. Tom Lang, the founder of group, has been open
with the fact that his intention of publicizing all of the names is
so that gay activists and gay-friendly individuals can call and harass
signers of the petition.
Proponents of the marriage
amendment received a big push on June 29th when Cardinal O’Malley
and Gov. Romney appeared together to warn legislators that there would
likely be legal action taken if they fail to vote on the amendment
this week. (See Story Here).
