Great, that’s the way to get people to understand gay marriage issues. Have a musical mocking their positions. Well, they can sing like a canary, my position will remain the same. Marriage is between a man and a woman. That idiot who claims to be the first man to get pregnant was a woman who started the process of a sex change. He/she still has a uterus. That doesn’t count. Hell would have to freeze over for me to vote in favor of that amendment, should it come up for a vote in my state. I know that will rile some people, but that is just my belief.
Since Prop 8 passed in California, much of Hollywood seems to have been riled by the choice of the voters. This new video,”Prop 8: The Musical,” was posted on FunnyOrDie.com. This site was co-founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. The site has found a niche in getting professional talent to quickly create topical comedy videos.
“Prop 8: The Musical” is a 3-minute Internet video, with a blockbuster cast—including Jack Black (who plays Jesus), Neil Patrick Harris, John C. Reilly, Andy Richter, Maya Rudolph, Margaret Cho, Rashida Jones and others.
In the video, Jesus doesn’t bring the two sides together, but Harris has better luck. He argues gay marriage could save the economy: “Every time a gay or lesbian finds love at the parade, there’s money to be made.”
The video was conceived and written by Marc Shaiman, the Tony Award-winning composer of “Hairspray” and “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.” McKay, who had previously collaborated with Shaiman on the song-and-dance routine Ferrell, Black and Reilly did at the Oscars earlier this year, sent him an e-mail floating the idea of a video.

The fallout has come after voters approved Prop 8, which changed the state’s constitution to ban same-sex marriage. This is an obvious attempt to protest the vote. How about people sympathetic to the preservation of the institution of marriage being between a man and a woman, producing their own three-minute video reiterating their position? I suspect it would not get the same reception from the gays and lesbians. I have no issue with their choice, but as a Christian, I cannot vote in favor of an issue that goes against my religious convictions.
