New Jersey State Senate To Vote On Gay Marriage
[UPDATE BELOW] You do know that if gay marriage becomes legal in New York, your children will be instantly turned gay by their crusading queer teachers, right? And according to this eye-opening new TV commercial, "it's not just kids who face consequences. The rights of people who believe marriage means a man and a woman will no longer matter. We’ll have to accept gay marriage whether we like it or not." Oppressed straight couples, Albany will never respect your rights if you don't stand up now!
According to the Times, the commercial, which will be broadcast around the city and state today, will also be accompanied by radio spots, robocalls, and a billboard in Times Square. Produced by conservative Christian group National Organization for Marriage, the $100,000 campaign is timed to thwart a same-sex marriage bill that's awaiting passage in the State Senate (the Assembly passed it this month.) A previous NOM commercial, which warned of a dark, gathering storm of gayness, inspired some hilarious parodies—check out our favorite below, via SFist.
UPDATE: Hmm, maybe NOM should learn how to spell same-sex marriage before trying to ban it? A commenter points out that marriage is misspelled "marraige" around the 27 second mark in their new commercial. Whatever, know-it-awl, homosekshals r still rong to git marraid!
And for the original NOM "Gathering Storms" commercial, see it here.

Oh noes! The gays are trying to force us straights to marry them! THEY MUST BE STOPPED!
I wasn't aware that one of the rights preserved by our laws was our right to oppress others. Funny how fundies always seem to think it's Amendments number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
"satan and his dark army of homos!"
ahahaaahaahaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its so sad. Little Boyz will think that it is fine to Sleep with other boyz & Die of this Satanic Aids. Videos of Dying skinny men should be viewed in school. What a Aweful future for them all.
But soon we'll be forced to marry livestock! And our sisters!
No kidding marmot...I fail to see how offering a right to a larger group of people somehow threatens the people who already have that right.
preach.
I already got the robocall TWICE. It is fronting as a "survey".
I probably need to call/email them to get off their call list. Or can we compalin to someone else about them calling if we are already on the DNCRegistry?
Since we're supposed to be "Rome Before The Fall", I wonder when we will finally feed these idiot christians to the lions.
I'd pay good money to watch that!
if they need volunteers to help feed the lions, bring me the sign-up sheet.
"Or can we compalin to someone else about them calling if we are already on the DNCRegistry?"
The DNC registry only applies to commercial calls from companies that don't have an existing business relationship with you. This is a nonprofit group, so is exempt.
Like the fat tourists roasting themselves in beach chairs and eating Sabarro's out of their laps wasn't bad enough. Now Time's Square advertises for the crazy right wing agenda.
Ironic considering it's right in the middle of the theater district, no? The very neighborhood that entertains us with jazz hands, sequins and fabulous dance numbers?
Thank goodness the charitable workings of this organization has wiped out hunger, poverty and homelessness. Now they can focus on spending their threatening the rights of other people! Because there would be no need to put that $100,000 into charitable works done by the church, right? right?
Marriage is misspelled in that ad at the 0:29 mark.
and don't forget the extraneous "same" in that same shot.
these people can't fuckin do anything right.

They fixed it. The YouTube link above is down; if you go to the haters' site, you'll see the corrected spot.

President Obama should just step up and recognize gay marriages and end all this divisions.

ok, i will mail my flipflop card today since I have to fedex some DVDs to somone anyhow. cool timing.
He doesn't have that power.
All this is nothing new.
19th century racists claimed equal rights for blacks equals white slavery.
Anti-emancipation groups claimed equal rights for women would emasculate men.
Haven't any of you heard the one about Mexican immigrants and their American-born descendants want to make southern border states part of a greater Mexico?
Yep, the arguments are always the same lame ones. no doubt
I like Colbert Coalition's Anti-Gay Marriage Ad
http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/224789/april-16-2009/the-colbert-coalition-s-anti-gay-marriage-ad
LOL, in Colbert's Storm ad, one of the speaker states his church was turn into an Abercrombie.
What rights do they claim will be revoked by legalizing gay marriage? They keep making that claim without actually specifying what they are.
The right to tell their children that homo=devil.
If the state recognizes gay marriage they'll have to deal with questions like this: "Mommy, Daddy, why did teacher tell me you are hateful bigots?"
"Cuz it's true, honey, cuz it's true!"
Right, you can no longer call little jimmy in your 2nd grade class a FAGGOT or HOMO.
"The rights of people who believe marriage means a man and a woman will no longer matter"
I'm glad you bolded this John, because I almost fell off my chair when I heard this line while hearing the commercial on the radio.
Seriously, this statement is absolutely fuckin ridiculous. They need to get called out on it. Does that mean that bigots will no longer have free speech? The right to privacy (to the extent it still exists)? Insane.
I called my useless State Senator Onorato about medical marijuana (which I read he was against) and gay marriage. His aide called me back to tell me he supports medical marijuana.
But she was silent about gay marriage. Please, to all in his jurisdiction - call his office. Both in LIC and Albany. It's fun. His staff seem like they're from the sticks. Let them know that if he doesn't care about what his constituents want, then we'll make sure that fucker doesn't get re-elected.
Could you imagine if they actually had to find real jobs?
Aside from denying civil rights to human beings, the saddest part about these anti-gay marriage ads is the pathetic reasons as to why they think gay marriage is bad. In the ad above, all they do state facts about kids learning about gay marriage, but don't say why it's bad, other than the fact that some people who don't like it, have to deal with it. Well, tough SHIT! We all have to deal with stuff we don't like.
And if some child, who first learned about gay marriage in school ends up being gay, it's not because he or she learned about it in school, but because they're actually gay. Oh no!
It really creeps me out something rotten when I see technology combine with ignorance.
tell your State Senator to support Marriage Equality for New York:

We need everyone's help spreading the word. Especially in places like Long Island, Westchester, and Queens. Email your NY friends, family, and neighbors.
Thanks!
I'm not sure what the point is of putting the ad in Times Square. Who are they appealing to? By putting an ad out in the middle of Manhattan, every one person they drag out of the woodwork over to their side is probably matched by several gay-marriage supporters now angry enough to contribute in ways they hadn't before. I suppose they'll appeal to all the tourists visiting from more conservative middle states. A fat lot of good that will do New York...
The tenor of the ad isn't surprising. When facts won't fit to your opinion, fear always will.

I found it interesting that a once second class citizen was speaking on behalf of the anti-gay equality. anyone else notice that?

I'm in California and I should care about ny's opinion on this whyyyyy? Late to the party as usual- just like with the public smoking laws we initiated first. Don't put ny things on LAist and waste our time.
Hey smarty pants, does proposition 8 ring a bell? You guys are not out of the woods yet either.
Yeah, we'd hate to "waste" all that valuable time you spend on Laist freaking out about fish tacos and crappy bars. Tool.
Milquetoast is a tool, but you're unoriginal. No one talked to you at the bars 'cause you're an arrogant unoriginal tool. There's a wikipedia entry on why LA isn't as cool as New York. You should've just read it and stayed home.
