Related: About this forumCatholic anti-gay video could be the worst video ever made.
http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/25307/1/this-anti-gay-marriage-video-could-be-the-worst-film-ever"How do videos like this slip through the net? How do people come together to create something without one of them saying, "Dudes you know what, this is gonna get really laughed at and I think its kind of wrong actually, I'm not sure we should do this"?
Not Alone is a short film created by political group Catholic Vote, made by a group of people who we assume are Catholic, people who have something big that they want to confess, something that theyre concerned could change their lives forever theyre against same-sex marriage. "Were here because we have something to say and were no longer afraid to say it", reads the caption underneath the video.
Over a soft, piano plus strings instrumental the group take it turns to speak out. "Its too important to me," says one. "I know a lot of people who are gay", says another. All of them unite behind the same idea: "I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman".
Oh FFS, pack it in. You are not oppressed, you are not in trouble. Yes, people might raise eyebrows at the idea that you, some person, feels compelled to appear in a heartbreaking video "confessing" your big secret, that you value outdated, cruel traditions over the happiness and freedom of fellow human beings."

They "love" their friends so much they don't think they should have equal rights.
No one needs that kind of love.
Sick and twisted.
How does this diminish their marriages in any way ???
Do they feel the same about their friends who are divorced ???
Religion continues to bring the masses together.

Do not approve of an action, or a lifestyle, or anything else?
Do not engage in that action, or that lifestyle, or anything else.
A simple solution that preserves the freedom of everyone.
