Gay marriage group run exclusively from New York and DC, documents reveal
By Shawn Millerick
The entire leadership of the controversial gay marriage advocacy group Standing Up for New Hampshire Families consists of lawyers and activists from New York City and Washington, DC, new documents obtained by NH Journal reveal. In fact, judging strictly from these organizational documents, the group has no connection to the Granite State whatsoever.
The official Articles of Agreement for the nonprofit corporation Standing Up for New Hampshire Families on file with the New Hampshire Secretary of State [appended below] reveal that the five “persons associating together to form the corporation”: include: Evan Wolfson and Marc Solomon from New York, as well as Martin Rouse, Karin Quimby and Elizabeth Getman from Washington, DC. Not one name from New Hampshire even appears on the documents.
“It’s as though they aren’t even pretending to be a grassroots group anymore,” one conservative activist told NH Journal.
None of the founders of Standing Up for New Hampshire Families has any apparent ties to the Granite State.
Mr. Rouse is the Field Director for the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a powerful national gay marriage lobby. In 2008, Rouse urged gay donors to “target” New Hampshire because the “small state” has “national impact.”
Karin Quimby is also affiliated with HRC. She is the author of a text book titled “Queer Frontiers.”
