"NOM" Wants To Nibble Gay Marriage To Death

thumbnail icon: "NOM" Wants To Nibble Gay Marriage To Death

There's nothing funny about this new ad called "Gathering Storm," in which actors from all walks of life pretend to be people from all walks of life who claim their lives are affected by gay marriage and call for a "rainbow coalition" (oh no you DID NOT) against it. Oh, except that it's stupid, and the organization behind it is called "NOM: National Organization for Marriage." And also someone should set this ad to "It's Raining Men." Okay, a lot of things are funny, and scary:

NOM will soon be joining together with "MEH: Marriage Equality Hurts" to make more expensive scare-ads because they care so fucking much about taking away other people's rights for some reason.

NOM commercial (first attempt)

There is a storm on the horizon: the gays are coming. And if we don't do something about it, they will get us all wet.

WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT THIS IS SERIOUS?!?!?!

Oh hey, look, it's Prop 8 all over again.

Fuck these people. These tactics may have worked on the idiotic public in California, but they're not going to work on the consciences of the state juidiciaries who are finally making things fair and equal for all people.

Also, seriously, rainbow coalition? Jesse Jackson's gonna have to cut off someone's balls for that.

Whenever you can replace the subject of your argument with the word "interracial" and then can keep talking for hours and every part of your argument still makes "sense", know that you are a complete moron and are wrong ie "I'm a Mass. parent helplessly watching my son being taught that interracial marriage is OK."

I had a fight about this the other day with a friend of mine and the combined rage from that and this commercial is proving too much to bear.

I feel like I need to "pull a Garden State" and stand over an empty quarry screaming for no reason.

I love how these idiots need talking point to figure this thing out:
What’s the harm from SSM? “How can Adam and Steve hurt your marriage?”
A: “Who gets harmed? The people of this state who lose our right to define marriage as the union of husband and wife, that’s who. That is just not right.”

THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT! see? I'm right, you're wrong. problem solved. how dare you to take away my right to define words*?

*I'm not a bigot. see? because I just said I'm not. Done and done.

How can I be expected to have consensual, heterosexual marital sex when I live in constant fear of a Bruno-like gay man dual-wielding dildos dropping from the ceiling and trying to sodomize me?! What kind of life is that America?!

How exactly would legalizing gay marriage force a doctor to choose between her faith and her job? By allowing gays access to their partners in the hospital?

Someone remind these people of the Hippocratic oath.... then throw 'em down a flight of stairs.

Good God, between this and my friend comparing homosexuality to bestiality, I've had my fair share of homophobia today. I'm not even in the mood to crack a joke, so simply:
Fuck you. If you think there's any possible way that the two gay guys down the hall getting married affects your own (probably failing, since you're obviously an asshole) marriage, then shut the fuck up. What's next? Stopping those darn 'coloreds' from infecting the all-supreme white race? Grow up, you Nazis. Change is coming and I can't wait till you're in the dust.

Under Obama's administration, gay marriage will be mandatory for everyone in order to control population. Also religion will be banned as will all guns including water pistols. Taxes will be 90% for anyone making over $10,000 a year. Republicans will be hanged if they don't agree with every bill the Democrats pass. Also there will be mandatory free health care and abortions for all. Thank you NOM for letting us know of the coming storm and how gay marriage affects us all.

Can someone explain to me how gay marriage would make a California doctor have to choose between "her faith and her job"? Your job is to keep people alive not decide who you keep alive based on their sexual orientation.

I live in Massachusetts. Yes. That's right. I'm writing to you from HELL ON EARTH. I can personally attest that gay marriage has taken away ALL OF MY RIGHTS. My god, how can I even begin to describe the horror that is my life? Every day gay people break into houses and tear loving heterosexual couples from one another's arms and steal their wedding rings thereby making them no longer married. Churches spontaneously burst into flames. Schools teach nothing but gay science, gay English, gay world history and gay advanced calculus. The sun literally no longer shines anymore, joy is banned, and baby animals are not allowed to be cute anymore so we can only have naked mole rats as pets. Doctors actually turn people gay if you go to them, because they have to under the law. My rights have been taken away. By demons. Gathering storm demons. Gay gathering storm demons. Listen to NOM while you can. *ominous rumble*

LE SIGH. I just wanna say that I skipped watching this to avoid the inevitable "are you fucking KIDDING me" that would launch from my mouth, and did, upon watching this. But now, the storm has gathered. Oh, it's fucking gathered all right.

Homophobia: still a safe bastion for completely ignorant, unmerited hate and discrimination.

Taking away your rights AYFKMWT? Doctor had to choose b/w her faith and her practice? Like...uh, how? You had to treat a Gay with a gunshot wound from a shotgun wedding? I don't understand, your stupidity has made my brain seize and stop working - oh wait that was the point of the effort? What? Stop, plz, you are killing my head. Off to Colbert.
