NOM Is Afraid Of Children Who Ask Questions
There's another Nation For Marriage ad going around this week, though it actually pre-dates the "Gathering Storm" ad. Confused children, one of whom has a cold that should probably be looked at, are confused by gay marriage. Oh no you did not bring Grandma and Grandpa into this!:
Oh no, god forbid a CHILD be CONFUSED! I'm with the sullen redhead. If only, IF ONLY we could somehow get our hands on the original audition tapes for this NOM commercial, the way the Human Rights Campaign did revealingly with the "Gathering Storm" ad. I bet there were some really bad little child actors on this one.

Since children are both too young to vote and too young to get married, who gives a shit what they think?
Score = 40
God created Adam and Eve is old fashioned. Isn't that the point? That the Bible is like a 1,000 years old and these people adhere to its social traditions?
Anyhow, stop fucking with marriage, NOM.
Score = 10
But what about the pets? How confused will they be when there are two moms? Who will Patches come to when he hears "Come to momma!"? THINK ABOUT THE PETS.
Score = 34
You laugh, but this is a real problem for my cousin, Mary, and her wife. Mary says, " Go to Momma," and their dog stands between them looking back and forth, unsure where to go.
Score = 1
If my parents get divorced, will I be adopted by gays?
Score = 13
Umm...everyone knows that gay people prefer to have children by praying to Satan. Then, adoption.
Score = 10
Grandma, I'm confused. Dad doesn't live with me and Mom anymore. But there's this new guy, Steve, and Mom wants me to call him Dad. But I see Dad on weekends, and he calls Steve "a fucking douchebag." What should I call Steve?
Score = 56
Maybe God should have created Adam and shut the fuck up, little kid.
Score = 14
It's funny because the very thing that scares these NOM people (kids talking about gay marriage like it's a normal, good thing) is the very thing that would make me super happy and proud of my kid.
Score = 26
I know! I'm watching this thinking "hey, that sounds kind of nice." If Grandma married a lady, that would just be a-ok little kid!
Score = 4
The only thing these children should be confused about is why their own parents let them be in hate-fuelled propaganda videos.
Score = 20
It's funny, cos when you hear some preacher say "Adam and Steve" its all 'that ain't right!' but when the little kid says "Anne and Eve" it just sounds like he learnt something new. I guess thats the fear though- if you don't get riled up and protect him from the idea, he might come to not give a shit about it!
Score = 3
"But I'll have to explain stuff to my kids!" was a big thing during the Clinton impeachment as well. For some reason right-wingers really hate talking to their kids.
Score = 30
Louis CK reference? His bit about gay marriage is the absolute end-all be-all of the discussion. "How am I going to explain it to my kids? I don't like talking to my kids! You shouldn't be with each other because...eeeehhhhh"
Score = 7
To be fair, the feeling probably winds up being mutual.
Score = 9
Grandma, I'm confused. What's "opposite marriage"?
Score = 14
I'm disappointed not because of their message of bigotry and intolerance, but because they went with "Anna and Eve" instead of the more traditional "Adam and Steve".
Score = 7
"Adam and Steve" is so old-fashioned, probably. Ask the redhead. She knows.
Score = 10
I don't give a shit about how scared kids get because their parents are a bigoted idiot. If people were to answer these kinds of questions in a completely dispassionate way, the kid would probably just shrug and forget about it. Instead it's OHHHHH SCARY SCARY! Assholes. Always trying to emotionally hoodwink their kids, with their heaven and hell and evil Jesus.
Score = 2
The funniest thing about the whole "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" line of "reasoning", is that they're basically saying that since we're all directly descended from one man and one woman, then we're all basically the products of incest.
Score = 10
"Our children will be taught a new way of thinking"
OH GOD! NOT NEW IDEAS!
Score = 18
Grandpa, I'm confused. When I was playing soldier boy with Billy from next door, I got a weird nice feeling in my wiener. How gay does that make me?
Score = -7
that'll do booferama, that'll do
Score = 12
Sorry. Got a little carried away.
Score = 9
"For the love of God, don't make me have to actually interact with this little shit and explain anything to them. Equal rights aren't worth me having to talk to this fuck trophy about life. I'll be at Curves if you need me. Consuela, get this little booger monkey away from me."
Score = 10
The eleventh commandment: "Thou shalt not make society too complicated for a four year old's comprehension." That it is why the IRS is a vessel of Satan.
Score = 7
Low blow, NOM, low blow. Exploiting children to get your "message" across? :(
Score = 4
Don't mess with marriage = Don't mess with Texas
Score = -3
man, this makes me nostalgic for the days when the old "But I don't WANNA talk to my kids about this stuff!" excuse was used for anti-drug commercials. Now, using it as a reasonable excuse to treat a group of TAX-PAYING citizens like they're second-class? It's just not the same. *sigh* If you need me, I'll be having a butterscotch and scratchy old sweater party with Gabe.
