The leading national organization opposing same-sex marriage has sought to split the Democratic Party base by pitting African-Americans and Hispanics against gay-rights groups, according to confidential strategy memos made public by court officials in Maine.
"The strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks - two key Democratic constituencies," says one of the memos. It also suggests "interrupting" the process of cultural assimilation for Hispanics in hopes of curtailing support for same-sex marriage.
The documents were part of a two-pronged legal challenge of Maine's financial disclosure laws. Still unresolved is whether the National Organization for Marriage will have to release the names of donors to its successful 2009 campaign to ban same-sex marriage in Maine.
