Dys, the biggest problem with this video is that it portrays the largest religious group in the US acting like victims of persecution because they themselves want to persecute others. They knowingly and deliberately made the parallel to being gay-'I'm different', 'I might lose friends when they find out about this video', etc.-when their situation is absolutely incomparable to the discrimination LGBT individuals face. It's a gross display of hypocrisy and a devaluation of the struggle homosexuals endure. Saying they have gay friends and nobody should be looked down upon means nothing when in the same breath they want to deny them their basic rights for no reason other than simple closed minded intolerance. It's the same as the famous 'I'm not racist, but <racist remark>. Personally, I think it's distasteful.
