Traditional Values Group Garners 7,000 signatures; Servers Swamped over Apple app

Apple Inc.
The Culture Wars are Back:


Manhattan Declaration -  a movement associated with Brian Brown's Washington DC based National Organization for Marriage  -  has said that it has gathered over 7,000 signatures protesting Apple's deletion of their app.  Traffic has been so heavy to their website that the servers have nearly shut down.


Apple had originally granted the app a rating of 4,  indicating that no objectionable content was found.


After LGBTQ advocacy groups protested, the app was deleted.  What Apple CEO Steve Jobs' response will be remains to be seen.   Apple has thus far ignored the group's request to reinstate their application for iTunes.


 Clearly,  the GLBTQ advocacy groups and the Traditional Marriage movement are butting heads.  The Culture Wars are back...

Despite the uphill battle, the Manhattan Declaration has no plans to go quietly into the night.
“We really think that once Apple sits back and takes a breath and really looks at this from a reasonable perspective that they’re going to reinstate it,” said Farmer. “We still have hopes that they’ll do that.”
So while gay rights groups may be saying, “not a chance in hell,” the Manhattan Declaration thinks it has a prayer.

"Ever since Brown v. Board of Education, it's been the underlying view of political liberals that victories in court will give them the social changes they feel are needed, and do it faster [than waiting for change to happen on its own]," Professor Mike Klarman of Harvard Law School tells TIME. "But such rulings have often brought significant political backlashes."

Close Ohio gay-rights vote mirrors national debate

Nationally, gay-rights supporters and their conservative opponents are trading victories and setbacks, and the public is deeply divided on same-sex marriage. Could the push for full equality be stalled or reversed? Probably not, if public opinion evolves at its current pace.
"All you have to do is look at the demographics and you can see this is as inevitable as anything," said Michael Klarman, a Harvard Law School professor who has studied the civil rights and gay rights movements.Close Ohio gay-rights vote mirrors national debate

Rhode Island Governor-elect Lincoln Chafee has declined an anti-gay marriage group's plea to consider putting gay marriage up for a vote, the Providence Journal reported.
Christopher Planet, director of the Rhode Island chapter of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), told the paper that a meeting with Chafee aide Michael Trainor gave him the impression that the incoming administration was open to talking with opponents of gay marriage and was shocked when he received a letter nixing the idea.Gov.-Elect Lincoln Chafee Declines Anti-Gay Marriage NOM's Plea | On Top Magazine :: Gay & Lesbian News, Entertainment, Commentary & Travel
