''It's a totally wholesome way to build family bonds while exercising your God-given right to be a bigot against the maricones.''
From a Comedy Central blog post that exposes (and explains) why anti-gay marriage ads are popping up on gay-friendly web sites. Maggie Gallagher's anti-gay National Organization for Marriage has apparently used Google's Adwords program to post banner advertisements on a wide variety of unsuspecting web sites. The ads, as Comedy Central points out, feature what appear to be happy, smiling Latino families, but when you click on the ad from the newly named "New York Marriage Fund," you get an alarming message that gay marriage is threatening New York and that kids need to be protected. Why Latinos? Because in New York City, certain religious organizations in the Latino community took the lead in organizing a vehemently anti-gay rally in downtown last weekend, similar to the way certain religious organizations in the DC area's African-American communities. The National Organization for Marriage and Focus on the Family are clearly using divide-and-conquer techniques to try to pit minority against minority yet again. What would Jesus think, indeed?
