Admin Hacks His Own Anti-Gay Facebook Page

One of the most persistent anti-gay activists in the U.S. pulled the plug on the National Organization for Marriage's Facebook page, taking the organization's Facebook fan base of 290,000 with him.

When you make someone your Facebook page administrator, you’re implicitly trusting that said person will not turn against you or your cause.

And when your cause is spreading intolerance against lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people, well, you would think that the kind of willpower it takes to organize yourself against a group of people is guaranteed to last.

We can assume that was the rationale of the largest anti-gay marriage organization in the country, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), when it appointed Louis Marinelli as Facebook page admin.

But, alas, Marinelli has had a change of heart.
