In case anyone has not heard the story..anti-gay group does ad called "A Gathering Storm" supposedly featuring "real Americans" who are scared by the idea that gay people might be able to get married. Seems these "Real Americans" turned out to be paid actors when HRC got ahold of the audition tapes. And now they are doing everything they can to get rid of these tapes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlbKqoUsHgoBTW, does anyone know how to embed a youtube video? Apparently I can't figure it out. |

Apparently neither honesty nor integrity are part of their 'family values' tree. Just bigotry and hatred.
The US is much like Australia in that respect, actually.

The word "pwned" was the first to cross my mind upon reading this. I think it fits, don't you? ;D BTW, does anyone know how to embed a youtube video? Apparently I can't figure it out. When making a post, look at the far left of the bottom row of gray buttons; there you'll find a YouTube button. Click it, and a pair of YouTube tags will be added to your post. All that remains is to paste the URL of the desired video, and you've got it embedded when the post is sent. |

Heh, the name of the organization is NOM. NOM NOM NOM.  Seriously, though, it's a copy-right violation for an organization to post it's OWN videos up? Uh... sure. Whatever they say. |

Heh, the name of the organization is NOM. NOM NOM NOM. It gets worse. I heard on The Rachel Maddow Show that they are working under the name 2 Million for Marriage. But since they want to appear "hip," they are using an aconym: 2M4M. Just think about it... ;D |

Am I wrong for giggling when that one guy in the ad describes the group as a "rainbow coalition"?

I particularly like how we are never told exactly what it is that gay marriage is going to do to us. I mean, they say that it's being taken beyond gay couples and that it will affect the life of straight people, yet we're never told exactly how that is suppose to happen. Therefore, from now on when things affect me, be it mayonnaise that has gone bad or a missing a green light at stop signals I'm going to blame it on gay marriage.
Edit: It was pointed out to me that it would far funnier to blame it on straight marriage. This is what I will do, and then proceed to claim the only way to fix that is to legalize gay marriage to help offset the effects.

I've never understood that one myself. I sit on my front porch all day sometimes looking for what gay marriage is going to do to my family. The closest thing I've ever seen to a threat to my family is a neighbor has a yappy little dog that barks at everything and scares the baby. Other than that, nothing. My hat's off to the homosexual community for keeping such a tight lid on what scary plans you have in store for me and my kids. [/sarcasm]

Gay marriage will cause all straight couples to file for divorce! No straight couple will ever marry again! It will be the end of nuclear families forever!!!! (/sarcasm) |

WTF is up with the doctor who claims she has to choose between her job and her faith? Does she want to refuse to treat gay people or something?
