Weathering the Storm: Response to Anti-Gay Marriage Ad

The National Organization for Marriage's "Gathering Storm" ad has provided tons of opportunities for parody by YouTubers and others. The hilarity of the ad outweighed its mean-spiritedness and lies. The following is yet another video response, but this one is not a parody. It's a straight-up (pardon the pun) response, called "Weathering the Storm." And it's pretty good.

Funny or Die: A Gaythering Storm

I don't think that the "National Organization for Marriage" had any idea what kind of storm was gathering when they came up with their anti-gay "Gathering Storm" ad. What they got was a storm of ridicule, and parodies of the ad itself.

Here's one of the better parodies, starring Sarah Chalke, Jason Lewis, Lynne Stewart, Alicia Silverstone, Lance Bass, Liz Feldman, Sophia Bush, Drew Droege, Mike Hitchcock, Daniele Gathier, Jay Lay, Erin Foley, George Takei, and Jane Lynch.

Another "Gathering Storm" Anti-Gay Marriage Parody

This one is pretty funny. And as incoherant as it is, it is no more so than the original ad, or the desperately unfocused "tea bagging" protests. Enjoy.
