The Storm is Breaking

The National Organization for Marriage is working hard to paint a scary picture that gays marrying will victimize those very people who seek to marginalize and discrimate against gays. Fortunately, smart, witty people who make sense are fighting back on YouTube with responses and parodies. Here are a few of my favorites:

And here is a gathering place of top ten videos:

Lastly, what better way to fight fear-mongering and lies than with actual truths. The examples cited in the ad about why the public should be afraid (of religious groups not being able to discriminate against gay people in the public sphere) are debunked by the Human Rights Campaign, on this page:

Looks like the fear-mongering is backfiring. The real storm that is to be feared is from those making the NOM video, who seek to pull the wool over our eyes with lies.
