Anti-Gay Video From Your Friends At Focus On the Family

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

The anti-gay rights movement is still beating that whole talking point to death. You know the one: "Gay marriage, yuck. What next, my sister can marry my dog?" Yeah, that angle.

Now the fire and brimstone folks at Focus On The Family have released a video basically saying after gay marriage comes, um, children growing up to marry gay penguins? In any case, their humor is lost on us.

I don't understand ... penguins are behind the gay rights movement?  Is he implying that the whole movement is centered on the premise that humans should be gay because penguins are gay?

And as for his point that Silo is an "ex-gay penguin" maybe he was bisexual all along?

Bigots are humor-challenged and we've been ignoring it too long.  Maybe we should take up a collection or organize a walk or something.  Poor, feeble little people-haters.
