Many, including some homosexual activists appear not to like this over-the-top campaign attempting to gain support for same sex marriage in Minnesota. This type of ad does nothing to help sway me to the cause; in fact, anything that uses kids or mocks religion or family values pushes me further in the opposite direction. How about you?

"An in-your-face video supporting gay marriage in Minnesota and mocking Christians has drawn the ire of some gay-rights activists who say the clip—full of f-bombs, racy visuals, and even same-sex kissing by very young-looking actors—leaves them “creeped out.”

I personally do not obsess about what other people do with their "equipment."

Why do you?

I don't particularly care since I would never have seen this if you didn't post it. But to be fair, we have all seen this in real life:

.... Christians in particular as mindless followers of church laws. One girl, twirling her hair, sarcastically says that homosexuality is wrong because “the Bible tells me so.”
Some things are just mockable. I still don't care though.

Why do you?
I don't and was actually somewhat of a supporter of SSM until I encountered this type of campaign/agenda, which prompted me to do some research and rethink my heretofore "sympathetic views. Wonder if this effects others the same way.

"research"

I can only imagine what kind you did.

Wait, I don't want those pictures in my head.

Never mind.

Back on topic...is it any wonder that gays might get a little upset that so many people despise them and want to deny them equal rights?

I'd be pissed too. I might even get mad enough to engage in (gasp) satire, Gawd forbid.

Any idiot knows you don't gain majority support by insulting the majority.
