The ad and the group are really pitiful and pathetic.

2M4M, Teabagging... What's next "National Tossed Salad Day" to protest all the illegal immigrants farming lettuce.

Not to put too fine a point on the headline of this story, but there is no such thing as "gay rights."
The struggle is for equal rights.

It may be there is a mole in the NOM'S ranks. Someone leaked the outtakes from auditions by actors for a role in this TV spot to the Human rights Campaign. Rachel Maddow aired them on MSNBC. They were hilarious! Sure would be interesting to know how HRC gained possession of the auditions by these wannabe actors portraying straight people whose marriages are threatened by "teh gays."

The First Amendment protects their right to present speech I disagree with, but when they say that "their freedom will be taken away" I think it presents a level of deception that goes beyond protected speech.

About that ad...I think it would have been much more effective if the actors portraying these poor persecuted heterosexuals, instead of reciting their lines while standing in a ramrod-straight mannequin posture, had been hanging from crosses.

The imagery would have much better captured the suffering heteros everywhere have experienced as a result of standing up for their religious beliefs.

I say this without any irony, scorn, or derision, but that new anti-gay group's name is totally gay.

"Don't you understand the powerful magnetic force that gays have on everyone else?"

I usually cross the street to avoid their erotic mesmerism, lest I blunder into an occasion of sin.
I avoid calculus too, lest there's an occasion of sine.
But stop me if I've told that one before, okay?

I'm looking forward to the inevitable catastrophe as they fall drastically short of their two-million goal.

I suspect they won't get more than hundreds or low thousands signed up, seriously. And then how miserable will they feel? Hardly anyone for marriage! (Or for minding other peoples business enough to sign up for this nonsense.)

btw, Xantar, think there will be any rusty trombone performances at the teabag party next week?

How long until they host a "cruise to nowhere" type event on Lake Erie using a vintage steamship? A true Cleveland Steamer.

We were at it and kickin' the Urban Dictionary references, I'd like to add that between the teabaggers, the 2M4Ms and the minutemen, I don't know who is the most ironically and pop-culturally clueless.

Except for maybe the teabagging minutemen!

Bahaha!

"Hurry, while supplies last!"
(I love that!)

Big picture: here's the problem that most people aren't talking about. You've got a very small minority of the gay population who has lucked out, met someone who is 'marriage material' and is ready to take that step. The other 80% is still trying to figure out where to meet someone, how to go on a date, what to do, how a relationship works, how to keep one going, etc...but nobody wants to talk about that. This whole marriage thing is going to be a disaster until we TALK about what's underneath all of this. Otherwise, it will just be another box to check that will not apply to the majority of the gay community. My fear is that we are doing a real disservice to most gay people by ignoring the fact that we weren't given much information on how to start relationships and make them work in order to be ready for marriage. And before you say it, I 100% agree for legalizing our marriages. I understand the legal reasons. I understand the hospital and power of attorney and all those things. I also understand the voices of MANY gay people who are angry that gay marriage is the only thing being talked about. How about issues that single gay people face? How about single gay people whose families have thrown them out, and now they've lost their jobs due to this recession, lost their health insurance, are going to lose their home, etc - what about them? I understand that these groups that are against GLBT people are vile and are using the possibility of gay marriage as some sort of sideshow performance for their agenda. Good for them - let them make fools of themselves. They are always going to be like this. I am already seeing the next generation (15-25 year olds) who are exactly like their parents - they have us too. This is not going to change for a long time - so let them think what they want.

In order for the gay community to be unified and support legalizing gay marriage - because let's face it - it's going to take a lot of work by us and for us to get this going - you have to sell it to gay people first. Right now the majority of the gay community is so cynical about not finding any relationship at all, or having it end within six months, that marriage is a lost cause - what good is legalizing marriage when one can't even meet someone? We have to restore a sense of hope and possibility for the entire community, not just the privileged few who have found someone and are ready to get married now.

Why are all these people who want to protect marriage not bocotting the advertisers on their favorate shows like "The Bachelor," "Wife Swap," "Who wants to marry a millionaire," etc? If protecting marriage was REALLY what they were about they would start a campaign to boycott all companies that advertise on these shows as THEY are the true threat to the "sancity" to marriage. Until I see a national movement to do just this I will continue to dismiss these dangerous people as redneck homophobics who also happen to be posing the real threat to marriage.

I remain neutral when I first saw the issue. In my opinion, I think same-sex marriage isn't a bad thing. If they can find the one they truly love, take care with each other, and spend the rest of their life together, then I'll be happy for them. They cannot decide their sex when they were born, but they can have rights to pursue their love. No matter how high the divorce rate is; it does not matter with neither same-sex marriages or opposite-gender marriages, but it matters how people operate their marriage. However, I believe there are several further implications out there need to be concerned carefully(i.e.raising children and same-sex parent's explainations to their children).

I could give a rats a** as to what these folks want to do.
Just leave me and the laws of the land out of it.
