NOM Gathering Storm - "The Homosexuals"

A trailer for a mock horror movie called "The Homosexuals" inspired by the NOM "Gathering Storm" PSA that blew up into an LGBT-themed internet meme in April 2009. The trailer makes light of the fear and ignorance that enslaves homophobic people and shows that LGBT people are nothing to be afraid of.

For those who couldn't make out the words very clearly, here's the transcript, more or less:

911 Dispatcher: "911 state your emergency"
Guy on Phone: "There are people in my house, and they want to bring the issue of same-sex marriage into my life!"
911 Dispatcher: "Can you describe the people in your house?"
Guy on Phone: "Their clothes are dark, and their voices are strong, and I am afraid!"
911 Dispatcher: "Can you tell me what they're doing?"
Guy on Phone: "They are not content living as they wish. They want to change the way I live!"
911 Dispatcher: "Have they said anything to you?"
Guy on Phone: "They're going to make the government punish me, because I don't believe in same-sex marriage!"
911 Dispatcher: "Is there anyone else there with you?"
Guy on Phone: "They've taken my two children, and they've taken the children from my next-door neighbor, and they've taken the children from the rest of the block, and they've taken the children from across the street, and they've taken the children from all around the entire neighborhood, and they are teaching them all that same-sex marriage is o.k.!"
911 Dispatcher: "We will have someone there immediately."
Guy on Phone: "Oh God, the leader is coming up the stairs right now!"
(door opens, guy on phone screams)
Guy on Phone: "Wait a minute, why am I scared of you?"

For anyone that would like to know NOM has been classified as an anti gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center

[SeanChapin1]

@Poochalot, to be perfectly accurate, the Southern Poverty Law Center noted NOM as an anti-gay group but actually stopped short of announcing that NOM would be included in next year's published list as a hate group (it didn't receive an asterisk before it's name in the list of anti-gay groups on their website). Not sure if this will change over time.

Homophobes, racists, anti-Semites, child molesters, xenophobes and similar scum are the garbage of humanity. These are all hateful, antisocial, immoral scumbags

Great video! The far right anti gay hate mongers use fear tactics to scare people. It's so pathetic. Gays come in all shapes forms and sizes and we are no threat to anything we just ask the right of equality. What threat is that for a traditional married couple one might ask?

@bdschlong Oh my, all that upper-case shouting to belch forth such vacuous casuistry & vicious nonsense! My ears (eyes?) are still ringing. But you claim to know THE WORD OF GOD and what he's for & against and can diagnose sickness, perversion and deviance: you're quite the polymath! Is this the same god (God) who hates mixed-fibre clothes, shellfish, and foreskins? The jealous one given to grudges,smiting & temper tantrums? Not a likeable guy, nor are you. (And just WATCH a few stud dogs!)

...and what's scarier yet: THEY TRAVEL IN PAIRS !

Eeek -- there's a couple in my breakfast room now!

I'm heading for the hills...

@mrkanker1 Actually, Adam kissing Steve is AWESOME, and I am happy that they care about each other so much!

[Poochalot]

@SeanChapin1 Well they're at least listed on the site along with The Family Research Council (at least I think that's the name of the other one) so I keep looking at this as something positive. For a professional organization that fights hate groups to state that NOM is trying to prevent equality for the LGBT community is good news. There are of course worse hate groups (Westboro Bigot Church) but NOM is a still a hate group who fights against equal rights for the LGBT community.

@bdschlong, I block those users from my YouTube channel who go beyond disagreement into the realm of outright disrespect, and I find your last sentence in your comment to be repulsively disrespectful, not to mention a tad hysterical and inciting (and I'm not sure what more is achieved through yelling with all caps for that matter). God loves everyone, and there is no place for unbecoming, ignorant and fearful hate in this world.

[SeanChapin1]

@mrkanker1, I think you would agree that it wasn't necessary to engage in profane and derogatory language such as "b----ck", and I do not tolerate such disrespect here. Your comment has been removed, and you have been blocked from this channel.

@mrkanker1, why?
