Mr. Delgaudio recently issued a fundraising letter in which he reported the following:
One stormy night I drove to a mailshop hidden deep in a nearly deserted stand of warehouses. I'd heard something was up and wanted to see for myself. As I rounded the final turn my eyes nearly popped. Tractor-trailers pulled up to loading docks, cars and vans everywhere and long-haired, earring-pierced men scurrying around running forklifts, inserters and huge printing presses. Trembling with worry I went inside. It was worse than I ever imagined. Row after row of boxes bulging with pro-homosexual petitions lined the walls, stacked to the ceiling. My mind reeled as I realized hundreds, maybe thousands, more boxes were already loaded on the tractor-trailers. And still more petitions were flying off the press. Suddenly a dark-haired man screeched, "Delgaudio what are you doing here?" Dozens of men began moving toward me. I'd been recognized. As I retreated to my car, the man chortled, "This time Delgaudio we can't lose." Driving away, my eyes filled with tears as I realized he might be right. This time the Radical Homosexuals could win

"Last night, I had a dream. It was 2011 and Republicans were celebrating a sweep of the House and near takeover of the Senate. But that dream became a nightmare. A wounded soldier sat in a veteran’s hospital after returning from Afghanistan. Noticeably shaken, his doctor walked in and choked out the worst news of this young soldier’s life: He’d been infected with HIV. You see, the doctor informed him that his wounds came in contact with those of a practicing homosexual, now allowed to serve in our military. 'How could this happen?' the soldier expressed shock and disappointment right before I awoke.
"Today I was reminded of several disturbing news stories. Left and right I see conservatives -- even some good conservatives -- who no longer seem to care. And that’s when it hit me. In my nightmare, conservative Americans had been too busy focusing on jobs and the economy before the November elections. Distracted, they failed to maintain a committed resistance to the Homosexual Agenda."
What the fucking fuck.

It's very easy to understand the passion behind this guy's prejudices towards gays. To do this, you must draw on your own prejudices towards ped-*GACK*

As I recall lesbians actually have the lowest HIV rate among all sexually active groups, though that is largely a result of *erm* biology.
And when you point it out they go "durrrrrrrr", because remember you're talking to people who a) don't really think of women as, like, people, and b) there's no such thing as a lesbian because it's not actually sex and so doesn't count and durrrrrr.

It may be shameful and fairly sexist, but I'll never understand why the face for gay equality isn't a hot lesbian couple.
...with one of them being Asian and having long fingernails.
lesbians are more acceptable than gays only in certain situations. Keep in mind that two hot chicks making out aren't actually lesbians, they're just two hot chicks making out.

I'm sure that Katy Perry song has made great strides for gay equality.

I still hold that Pavlovian conditioning applies to humans. And that people make decisions emotionally and not rationally.
If every pro-gay-marriage commercial had two super hot lesbians making out, even the staunchest opponents would start to appreciate gay marriage. Instead of, "Ugh, fags," it would become "gay marriage is wrong but it ain't so bad. Hell I'mma go buy the DVD of gay marriage."
It's not a rational argument. You just make them feel good every time they see your political advertising, and count on it during voting time. It's fundamentally the same thing all political candidates do.

Umm, by "the staunchest opponents" do you actually mean "some heterosexual men"? Because those are the only ones I can see your theory having a possible effect on.
Besides, if your Pavlovian method works and is legitimate, why limit its application to gay rights? Let's have every political ad have two hot chicks making out so the public gets a positive association with that candidate. Put them in car commercials, PSAs, have replace Biden and Pelosi with a couple of pornstars going at it behind Obama during the State of the Union. I'm sure there won't be any negative repercussions.

Come on, now. If the fight for gay rights has taught us anything, it's that heterosexual men are the only ones that matter!

From my memory of polling, they're the ones that need the most convincing. Women support same sex marriage on the whole between ~5-10% more than men do. You don't win converts by preaching to the choir.

Actually, men are now more supportive of gay rights than women now, by a small margin.

That's a very welcome turn of events. +7 points in a single year is damned impressive.
I'm not even sure what it is, really. I guess a critical mass of gay people came out and all their buddies realized that their homoerotic jesting is even better when one of them is actually gay.
How about instead of the extreme of two hot chicks making out, have a thirty-second ad split evenly between two attractive guys doing something like a family dinner and two good-looking women having a similar homey thing? Appeal to both sexes, and show that gay people like the same things straights do.

It makes playing gay chicken with them really hard though.

Damnit, I've heard of this sort of thing -- but I've only seen it in person once.
I needed more straight homoerotic friends growing up.

I was just discussing this with a gay friend, and I realized I had to explain what gay chicken was to him. It kind of blew my mind. I had a roommate who could play the game with the best.

The one I had was more like the one from Law Abiding Citizen.
He does make the thing sound somehow Lovecraftian doesn't he though? Encountering the unnameable monster deep in the dark of a rainy night.
I'm more concerned that they seem to think only gay people have HIV.
As I recall lesbians actually have the lowest HIV rate among all sexually active groups, though that is largely a result of *erm* biology.
Straight people can get it too.
They just have to rub their wounds on a gay person.
I mean, it's stupid and depressingly ignorant, but not surprising.

And then you transform into a gay during a full moon.

What the fucking fuck.
14 whole aisles of just Cher memorabilia.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
And fifteen secluded bathrooms with doors that lock.
And that disco ball from Warehouse 13.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.

Because politics, lobbying, and public outreach is so bereft of shameful gimmickry.
It's actually a great idea.
Go for it. :P

1. "They're not REALLY lesbians. They just need a man around to set them straight, durrrr."
2. "Okay, you ladies can get married, but not those gross homoguys."
