Zack Ford at Think Progress LGBT obtained an obscene and ridiculous "Truth Pledge" being handed out at the University of Maine yesterday by conservatives Paul Madore and Mike Heath, who are leading the group opposing a marriage equality ballot measure.

Here are the tenets that the group's flyer demands you pledge:

I pledge that I will:

1. Go to the polls and vote NO on Sodomy Based Marriage in November.

3. Use the term “Sodomy Based Marriage” and avoid the deceptive terms “same sex or gay marriage.”

4. Inform my friends and neighbors that the term “same sex marriage” contains two contradictory terms, and is therefore, illogical, false, and absurd.

5. Marriage is a Covenant that is entered into between two people and is based on a difference in gender; and there can be no moral or legal right to a practice which defies logic, common sense, and the Natural Law itself.

9. Reaffirm the Christian Church's teaching that a child must never be denied the right to have both a mother and a father.

10. Oppose the hellish doctrine that parents of the same sex make better parents than parents of the opposite sex, an evil doctrine which is now being advanced by the homosexual rights movement.

11. Pray that God will deliver our State and Country from this attack by demonic force, and that marriage between man and woman will be restored to its rightful place of honor, to the glory of Almighty God.

Adds Ford: "Madore and Heath's rhetoric is unabashedly anti-gay, but it's important to note that all of the rhetoric fits the models offered by groups that use tamer language, like the National Organization for Marriage and Catholic Church."
