It's All About Blatant Bigotry:

From Gene DeRossett, running for Congress in Michigan's 7th District. Gene was apparently born with a gun in one hand and a bible in the other- he looks like he could be Bob Dornan's long lost brother. Just thought I'd share the shape of things to come should the marriage ban proposal make it to the Michigan November ballot.

AD SCRIPTS:

Title: DECISION TIME
Length: 30 Seconds

“This is Joe Schwarz’ idea of marriage

*stark black and white shot of gay wedding- the cinematography suggests evil! bad! oh my God, the happy gay people are going to get us all!*

This is Gene DeRossett’s idea of traditional marriage

*break to a shot in living, vivid color of a hetero marriage, pause and slow film for emphasis*

Joe Schwarz is against a ban on gay marriage – there is a difference

Gene DeRossett will support traditional marriage – that’s why Gene DeRossett has been endorsed by Michigan conservatives and pro-life leaders.

Gene DeRossett – the trusted conservative we need to defend our values.”

(Disclaimer: I’m Gene DeRossett and I approve this message)


Are we having fun yet? Just for kicks, I reported him to GLAAD. I'm sure that there is nothing they can do about it, but I wanted them to be aware of what was happening out here. Perhaps they can compile a "greatest hits" list or something.
