"This may be the first time in my whole life that I've had to actually receive persecution." Image via Wikipedia Over the past three years,  hundreds of Americans have been bullied ,  threatened , and even  fired from their jobs , for no other reason than because they support traditional marriage. That's why the National Organization for Marriage just launched a new effort: the  Marriage Anti-Defamation Alliance . The goal of the Marriage Anti-Defamation Alliance is to defend Americans' religious liberty and free speech rights from being trampled by the same-sex marriage lobby.
