furrbearIs this the trailer for the Twilight sequel? The National Organization for Marriage's fear-mongering zombies have risen from their graves because same-sex marriage is taking over the country, apparently. This new ad, complete with storm clouds and lightning bolts, has gone national.
What a joke. These people obviously have no idea what love, or truth, is.
Be VERY Afraid:
This is the ad that the National Organization for Marriage is running to:
... energize the opponents of gay marriage by making the case that it will impinge directly on their own lives. The ads will air in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Iowa.
So, what prompted the making of this ad?
Gay-rights groups say that momentum from back-to-back victories on same-sex marriage in Vermont and Iowa could spill into other states, particularly since at least nine other legislatures are considering measures this year to allow marriage between gay couples. [...]
"It’s a bad day for the country," said Brian Brown, executive director of the National Organization for Marriage, a group established to fight same-sex marriage. "There is a palpable sense that something has changed and people need to get active."
And what better way to "get active" than to trot out a steaming pile of fear-mongering?
