    Irish Anti-Gay Commercial - YouTube

    The most offensive part for me was how hard they tried to reinforce gender stereotypes. "The differences between men and women matter." What sort of differences? That men are the alphas and women are the beta, emotional, weak, caring ones? Didn't even try to mask its sexism...

    I saw this earlier. It's pretty bad. I can't believe that some people actually believe that "the differences between men and women matter".

    That is the most disgusting fucking bullshit that I ever watched. I don't really want to direct this at you, but this ruined my night.
     
  8. Every second of it was gross. I'm glad to see the dislikes.

    Don't worry, guys. In 2074, we can send these assholes back in time and have Joseph Gordon Levitt kill them. It's all good.

    This is horrendous and I'm embarrassed that it came out of Ireland. Same sex marriage is actually gaining a lot of support here, probably why this disgusting video surfaced.

    Nah, I was just making a bad joke involving a movie that came out on DVD today (Looper) that I enjoyed. I can't take this commercial seriously enough to respond to it seriously. It's like trying to point out the logic problems when a three year old tries to explain how ____ works to you: pointless.

    Yep, that's the IONA institute for you. They are an awful organization and they're starting their campaign against gay marriage because we have set up a 'Constitutional Convention' whereby people sit on committees (politicians and random members of society) and discuss changes to our constitution which will be put to a referendum and gay marriage is one of those. However, support in Ireland is at 78% so I hope they will be unsuccessful. It will all depend on voter turnout which in Ireland is notoriously low (30% was our recent turnout for a referendum earlier this year.)
     
  19. Why can't homophobic individuals let people love? They don't have to like it, but really? This video was disgusting and upsetting.
