New ad from the National Organization of Marriage looks ready made for parody.



"Our kids will be taught a new way of thinking."

Wouldn't that be great if children taught that the bible is the only source of truth were suddenly allowed to expand their minds to learn that there are many paths to truth and understanding? How could that possibly be a bad thing?

And just think of how accepting of diversity those future generations would be if this bill were passed now while they are still young and their minds are open to new ways of looking at the world.

Damn it almost makes me wish that I could vote for this bill myself!

Update: it looks like the bill failed. This round goes to the intolerant and prejudice. Hopefully there will be better luck next time.

    Nice jab at teachers there. Because you know we're all liberal pinko commie terrorists.

    Mommy, you and Daddy go to church every Sunday and always said marriage is between a man and a woman. You say if gay people get married then that will make a mockery of marriage. And now you're getting divorced like fifty percent of all married couples.
    I'm confused.....

  3. Poor kids. Sorta like SPalin's kids, being used. What -- the adults can't come out and say what is truly bothering them? They have to use kids and their innocence to try to fabricate some point?

  4. Fortunately, the NOM people seem to be impervious to popular culture and the current use of the acronym. So if you go to YouTube and type in "NOM," the first things to come up are a sh*tload of cute videos of hamsters and other animals eating, going, "NOM NOM NOM NOM." THOSE videos get five-star ratings, unlike those from the one-star NOM.

    Casa Biscuitbarrel is surrounded by pleasant gay couples, nice neighbors all. Explaining Teh Gay to my kids when they were little took considerably less time than the details of where babies come from. And I didn't get the expressions of shock and disbelief that Mama and Daddy do... what? THAT?

    Actually the bill isn't dead yet in NH. If you go to www.unionleader.com it explains that it is stalled but both parts of our leg. body is still working out the details. I hope it passes. I hope Gov. Lynch doesn't let outside influences like NOM dictate our laws.

  7. It is SO easy to explain to kids if you are a fundie Christian: "No, we believe that God only recognizes traditional marriage, but Jesus told us to love our neighbor, so though we don't believe their choice to marry is God's plan, we will be loving toward all our neighbors"

    How easy was THAT?

    It looks like this video was filmed before they signed up their new spokesmodel, Miss Boobs4Jesus to represent them. Either that, or they had to quietly let her go, due to another episode of "I was to hungover to show up for the taping" that happened when she canceled at the last moment for her Larry King appearance.

    The theme that shows up again and again is these personalities and organizations seem completely unable to empathize with another point of view, and "see themselves as others see them" as the great poet Robert Burns once wrote.

    This results in odd, sometimes bizarre messages that make no sense, except to themselves. The faction above may think this is an appeal to the future of our childrens mental health, but my guess is that the wider audience is asking "Is their message so weak that they have to have kids shill for them?" How pathetic is that!
