In a ridiculous, appallingly deceitful ad by the "National Organization for Marriage" ("NOM"), various actors essentially claim that pro-gay marriage forces want to take away their jobs, close their churches, and force them all into gay marriages.
One guy says that he's a member of a New Jersey church that's been persecuted by the government because it doesn't believe in gay marriage (which is odd, since New Jersey also doesn't believe in gay marriage).
Another claims to be a California doctor who would have to choose between "my faith and my job." I'm not clear on what faith she belongs to that would preclude her from treating gays... or would it only preclude her from treating married gays? In any event, under section 10.05 of the AMA code of medical ethics: "(b) Physicians cannot refuse to care for patients based on race, gender, sexual orientation, or any other criteria that would constitute invidious discrimination." So I think she probably needs to find a new field either way.
Some other woman is worried that the Massachussetts schools are going to teach her children that gay marriage is OK. Well, lady, forgive me if I don't shed too many tears about the fact that schools aren't going to pass your bigotry onto your kids. On the plus side, the kid's only in school for 7-8 hours a day, so you've got a good 2/3 of the day for brainwashing if you're diligent about putting Hannity clips in the kid's room while he's sleeping.
