A MUST SEE Funny or Die PSA.

Courtesy of Mediaite:  

The video was created to support Tie The Knot, an advocacy organization founded by actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson, of Modern Family fame, who also stars in the PSA, and his fiancee Justin Mikita. The group is “advocating for a more stylish and equal America,” according to its slogan, by selling bow ties and donating the proceeds to other advocacy groups fighting for marriage equality. 

In the video, Takei warns of one person “whose orientation threatens to destroy society.” He “looks normal, but he gives off clues of his prejudice with buzzwords like ‘pro-family,’ ‘traditional marriage’ or ‘pole-smoker.’” The PSA highlights to hypocrisy of a character who has been divorced twice but wants to deny the right of other people to marry just because they happen to be the same sex.

I laughed so hard at the end of this that I almost choked. 

Very well done! And George Takei's completely deadpan voice-over is perfect!

    Most definitely funny! Perfect PSA style! I lost it with the bow ties and butt pinch!

    On the same topic, Delaware (yes, Delaware!!!) enacts marriage equality law!

    "I do not intend to make any of you wait one moment longer," a smiling Markell told about 200 jubilant supporters who erupted in cheers and applause following the Senate vote.
