Heterosexist Propaganda

Here is an ad funded by NOM, the National Organization for Marriage. Notice how it uses fear to persuade voters to vote against full marriage equality. What is the fear? It doesn't matter. What matters is that fear is being used to motivate people to take away the rights of their fellow citizens. Click the link above (click on NOM) to see how much money the National Organization for Marriage has been able to raise using hatred and fear. I'm not sure if NOM is a religious organization, but other organizations, employing similar tactics, like the Mormon and Catholic churches, receive this money tax exempt. This is a business folks. It has nothing to do with morality or any actual threat. Someone's getting rich off of this stuff.



Here is a parody of the same ad. Sometimes it's good to laugh at the ridiculousness of the fear-mongering.
