Using the kids? That is so low.

The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) is a homophobic organization whose goal is to deny equal rights for the LGBT community.

On April 7 ,2009 NOM launched an ad campaign, said to cost over a million dollars, called “Gathering Storm” based on fear and lies. The LGBT community stood up and fought back making parodies of the “Gathering Storm” ad. These parodies became more popular than the ad itself. This site aims to collect the parodies for all to view. You can rank which ones you like best using our star voting system.

This is the ad that started it all.

Thank you HRC for the following:
“The Real Truth Behind the Fake Ad”

The general argument of the ad is that the push for marriage equality isn’t just about rights for same-sex couples, it’s about imposing contrary values on people of faith. The examples they cite in the ad are:
(1) A California doctor who must choose between her faith and her job
(2) A member of New Jersey church group which is punished by the state because they can’t support same-sex marriage
(3) A Massachusetts parent who stands by helpless while the state teaches her son that gay marriage is okay
