What was intended to be a serious effort to beat back the forces of marriage equality has become a “camp” sensation across the country. The National Organization for Marriage dumped $1.5 million into an ad campaign called the “Gathering Storm,” which is set to air in key states where marriage equality is advancing. But it already has aired in much of the country in the form of parodies gays and lesbians, celebrities and just about anyone with a camera have done their own interpretation.
Watch, after the jump.
The original “The Gathering Storm”:
A group of celebrities, including George Takei, Alicia Silverstone and Lance Bass, performed one of the funniest spoofs in “A Gaythering Storm” by the Giant Gay Repellent Umbrella.
