National Organization for Marriage

The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) is an advocacy group founded in 2007 that campaigns to oppose same-sex marriage and promote traditional marriage between one man and one woman. It seeks to influence public policy, support related legislation, and mobilize grassroots efforts to shape laws and societal views on marriage. While it presents itself as defending religious and family values, critics argue that its activities aim to limit marriage rights for same-sex couples. NOM operates primarily in the United States and has been a prominent voice in debates over marriage equality.
