We Fixed That Awful Homophobic "Coming Out" Video
[There was a video here]
A bizarre video by conservative nonprofit Catholic Vote has been making the rounds these past couple days. It features brave, young adults who become watery-eyed as they find the courage to “come out”...against gay marriage. Because that video is arguably insensitive and unquestionably absurd, we’re happy to offer the corrected, more sensible version above.
If you haven’t seen the original video, it is below:
Not only does the video ask you to entertain the idea that coming out against gay marriage is just as emotionally fraught as coming out as gay, it very clearly mimics the well-known “It Gets Better” YouTube campaign—a series meant to empower the kids who actually are struggling with their sexuality.
So Catholic Vote, please feel free to reach out to us in all your future movie-making endeavors.
