"Equal Marriage Florida and Equal Marriage Arizona -- launched in June. . . -- sought to put a measure legalizing gay marriage on those state's ballots as early as 2014. The campaigns were the unexpected brainchild of Republican strategist Tim Mooney, a man whose previous professional accomplishments include running the 2004 campaign against marriage equality in Utah, and helping to elect Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry, an opponent of marriage equality. Now, after numerous national and local gay rights organizations have expressed skepticism and concern . . .  Equal Marriage Arizona has suspended its operations and Equal Marriage Florida has decided to wait until 2016 to attempt to put same-sex marriage on the ballot. . . "

"Simpson, who came out as gay more than a year ago, said that it was short-sighted of established gay rights organizations to push out newcomers, no matter what their prior views. "
