The Human Rights Campaign has gotten a hold of the auditions for the actors appearing in the ad:

So much for real people, real lives.

They do say that the people in the ad are actors, but you have to peer very closely at the tiny text disclaimer they put up and pause the video to have long enough to read what it says.

Don't these people have other Christian priorities higher than profaning the LGBT community and picketing abortion clinics? As I recall from studies of the 16th chapter of the Book of Ezekiel, GOD didn't destroy Sodom and Gomorrah for homosexuality. GOD leveled Sodom and Gomorrah for their complaceny and indifference. These people, with their wicked sense of selfishness and entitlement, denied themselves nothing their affluence afforded them an opportunity to abuse. These uncaring, overly induged churls literally sat idly by while their poor and socially disenfranchised neighbors died from hunger, thirst, sickness, homelessness, widowhood, being orphaned, and every societal ill all too common when there is a huge disparity between the hauty wealthy and those suffering the misfortunes of poverty. They too came up with governing policies that took no care for the citizens. I'm willing to bet my next Happy Meal that their affluent and more fortunate citizens justified their selfishness, arrogance, ignorance, and indifference with coded language that forbade any sembalnce of sacrifice to discourage the bane of socialism the same we do today. I'll bet they also put up distracting smoke screens to keep the focus on whatever spectacle and fluff they could conjur up to prevent any relevant or productive social discourse that would grant the masses relief, comfort, and dignity. Wha'd'ya know! There really is a direct reference to contemporary America in the prophesies of the Bible after all! We're not the New Jerusalem, but the modern day Sodom and Gomorrah! Who'd've thunk it?

Garbage, filth, lies over & over again from the Radical (so-called) Religious Right. No one is taking their freedom away, no one. It is they who are depriving others of their rights under the Constitution. A Pox on all of them.

The main control point of the Abrahmic based religions is sex. So that is a prominate part and its concomintant---reproduction. Which also explains the apparent inconsistancy of fertility clinics and the way they treat embryos. Not one that I know of has ever been picketed. Since they promote reproduction they are forgiven so much! Putting many faces to tyranny doesn't mitigate it one bit.
