Outrageous is the only word to describe the content of new advertisements the National Organization for Marriage, or "NOM" as they also call themselves.
According to Time Magazine:
There is a storm gathering. The clouds are dark and the winds are strong. Apparently, there's lightning too. Oh, and your freedom's about to be taken away and you will have no choice about it. (Read "Despite Wins for Gay Marriage, Obstacles Remain.")
We won't keep you in suspense. The storm is the gay marriage debate. The clouds and strong winds?
Those are an April 3 Iowa supreme court ruling and the Vermont legislature's decision to override a governor's veto on April 7, making the states the third and fourth in the country where gay marriage is now legal. (The other two are Connecticut and Massachusetts.)
In response to these recent additions, the National Organization for Marriage rushed out this ominous new television ad ahead of schedule, featuring monologues from parents, teachers and doctors in gay marriage battleground states worried about what same-sex unions mean for their freedom. "This comes from the heart of people who want to protect marriage," says Maggie Gallagher, president of NOM.
You simply have to watch this video:
Get your umbrella everyone! The people in this video truly look like drones.
UPDATE: Though this is far from a laughing matter, some people have made some humerous changes to the public service announcement from NOM:

Get Real...so just because of orientation, you want to deny love and marriage?? So why was American founded? Tolerance is the new AMERICAN VALUE!
Sick sick sick all of you are going to burn in hell.
Sick? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!!!
THEY CAN ONLY HOPE TO DO ONE THING WITH THESE VIDEOS AND IT IS A VERY POWERFUL THING = FEAR!
Actually the storm are gay rights organizations such as Kentucky Equality and your new Marriage Equality Kentucky initiative not standing back and taking it anymore from the right wing and pushing for something more positive. I am so tired of other GLBT organizations in Kentucky being tired of saying using the gay marriage words.
