Funny or Die Video on Gay Marriage Storm

Funny or Die Gets Caught Up in Gay-Marriage Storm

April 21, 2009

K, I thought this was getting old (what with this and this and, oh, that's it) and that Funny or Die's take on the gay-marriage storm was more deadly than funny. But then a Connecticut weatherman comes on and says "there's a cold front coming in and it's gay people," and gay people start falling from the sky, and I laughed. OK, I laughed. But, really, Internet, this is it; the storm is over.

I liked both spoofs. I enjoy anything that takes the piss out of right wing religious freaks who try to take away rights of other human beings. By all means let's have more of this!

Honestly, I could go either way on gay marriage. I'm not gay so I feel like it doesn't really effect me either way HOWEVER I have a huge problem with poking fun at parents who don't want their kids taught in school how to feel about gay marriage. I don't have children but if I did I wouldn't want them to be indoctrinated with liberal beliefs in school. Like it or not gay marriage is directly linked to most peoples religious beliefs. If I'm supposed to be "tolerant" of radical Muslims then I expect tolerance for my beliefs! By the way, Tres Sugar sucks. Bring the old format back!

I think that this video is somewhat attacking what Miss Cali's religious beliefs are and I think thats wrong. I understand that it's a joke and everything but, I mean, come on. She is getting slammed for her religious beliefs which isn't right. I think this video is rude to her and everyone else that has her same beliefs.

Bring Dear back! I don't like this new version ;-(

No one is arguing against inclusion. That was one of Dear's strong suits. You've seemed to go the other way so far, with almost no posts covering what Dear Sugar was all about. So really, when we see nothing but posts about gays and from gay guys, I start to wonder if you'll ever include straight ladies in your content. We seem to be the ones excluded from your site right now. Like I said, I have no problem if you're gay or bi, Tres, and even if you address that a lot here in your posts. But I would like to see SOME connection to the old site, Dear, where straight women could read about stuff affecting us every day. So far, very, very little of that.

Allyell, TrèsSugar seeks to be inclusive. There will be content about the whole spectrum of sexuality. (Well, as much as we can.) As for the Conventional Wisdom post you refer to — a gay man answered a straight woman's question — quite well — about her love life. Straight, gay, bi, transgendered — we hope to talk to everyone.

There were definite parts of that, that I found funny but the whole thing not as funny as some of the spoof things I've seen.

Oh lord, I'm already sick of this whole Miss Cali thing. Am I accepting of whatever anyone wants to do and support gay marriage but good lord I admire her for being honest.

My computer must be homophobic, because it won't play the sound on this video. I've tried viewing it on 3 different websites without success.

I am shocked by that kind of ad. Is it ironic or true ?

I'm pretty sure all the gay marriage posts - which is a recent and contentious current affairs issue - have to do with the "Portion Formerly Known As Citizen" part of Tres, and that the "Portion Formerly Known as Dear" has sort of disappeared. I miss Dear a lot. Though I do definitely believe that the original commercial deserved to be mocked... I'm a straight woman who has gay friends, and I don't have to be gay to support their rights. ;)

^GaySugar?? ha ha. "plain old sex between a guy and a girl", LOL!

Why did they turn this into a gay site? I have no problems with gay people, and it seems like Tres herself is gay or bi at least, but this used to be a site where women could go and read about/discuss relationships with men. Since the new format has come in, all we've had are posts on gay marriage and advice from gay guys on relationships. No posts about love, romance, or even plain old sex between a guy and a girl. Why didn't sugar just start a GaySugar site and let Tres post there? This is such a weird, random switch. Is there a place for straight women here anymore?
