The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) is an American non-profit political organization established to work against the legalization of same-sex marriage in the United States.[1] It was formed in 2007 specifically to pass California Proposition 8, a state prohibition of same-sex marriage.[2] The group has opposed civil union legislation[3][4] and gay adoption,[5] and has fought against allowing transgender individuals to use bathrooms that accord with their gender identity.[6] Brian S. Brown has served as the group's president since 2010.
