Anti-Gay activists looking for glamorous, unintelligent celebrities to advance their cause

It sounds like a headline from the Onion, but strategy documents uncovered yesterday, from the nation's most prominent anti-gay marriage group, the National Organization for Marriage (found by the Human Rights Campaign), reveal a novel approach to convincing Americans to vote against marriage equality: recruit glamorous but unintelligent celebrities. (p.19/20)

"Hollywood with its cultural biases is far bigger than we can hope to be. We recognize this. But we also recognize the opportunity - the disproportionate potential impact of proactively seeking to gather and connect a community of artists, athletes, writers, beauty queens and other glamorous non-cognitive elites across national boundaries. (This is applying the Witherspoon and IAV model to non-intellectual elites.)"

Even when you unpack what they're trying to say, it still means that they just don't want any particularly smart people joining their cause. I can't prove this, but my hunch is they're calling out for glamorous non-cognitives as hint to Victoria Jackson not to bother showing up to the auditions.

1. Good luck finding an LGBT hating glamorous celebrity capable of even reading the ad.

2. They would get as far as non-cognitive and get bored. n/t

3. Non-cognitive? What the hell is that, even?

People who hit their heads?

4. Sorry, but gay hating, unintelligent celebrities are NEVER glamorous.

5. I think that only leaves Lisa Whelchel.

Of course, she's divorced as of last year. Not that hypocrisy ever matters to NOM.

6. They can't say "Looking for dumb fucks to serve as tools for our teabagger cause."
