Last summer, The Marriage Alliance outraged Australians with a badly-produced antigay marriage commercial that ran, ironically enough, during a commercial break for I Am Cait.

This week, they’re back — with an ad featuring a flummoxed young professional who’s about to be unceremoniously hanged with a rainbow-hued noose. And right at her desk, too.
The copy reads: “Same Sex Marriage Increases PC bullying In The Workplace.”
How about we take this to the next level?

Australian MP Tim Watts is, of course, highly displeased:
While the Australian Marriage Alliance claims to speak for mainstream Australia and the silent majority, it will not disclose who funds it, or who who is a member of it. This is a group that regularly quotes data opposing marriage equality but refuses to disclose the sources for this data…”
Watch his speech here:
Meanwhile, Twitter users wasted no time in voicing their own outrage and concern, as evidenced by the tweet below.

What is this fear over gays about? Its not like terrorism… its people who are attracted to same sex or wants relations with same sex. These types of ads and anti gay laws, speech is just stupid. The IQs of these people need to be examined.

It’s women who fear the power of male homosexual desire (MHD). MHD is a very powerful force through society and explains much of our rules and regulations.

The message may have been trying to convey an anti-gay sentiment, but the only thing I wanted was Fruit Loops. That noose looked delicious!!!
