Right Uses YouTube To Protest UK Anti-Disc. Laws
Winner: "Best Exploitation of Children For Political Purposes"

An anonymous British anti-gay activist group is bringing their archaic bigotry into the 21st century. Known only as "Campaign2007", the group (or, possibly, individual) has posted a video on YouTube to protest the UK's new anti-discrimination laws - regulations that will make it illegal for all public institutions to reject the gays.

Following grand anti-gay tradition, the hateful filmmakers are using children to scare conservatives straight. Pink News UK reports:

The footage shows a primary school teacher reading about homosexuality to a group of small children.
...
The video incorrectly claims that "the government is determined to pass a law that will, among other things, force schools to teach homosexual sex and relationships to children of all ages in schools."
In fact, the law simply forbids schools from booting bent boys and girls. The video goes on to warn viewers that the law goes into effect on Wednesday (tomorrow) and urges all concerned citizens to protest outside of Parliament or face the queer consequences.

The most disturbing part of the video comes when a teacher's reading to a group of children, spouting conservative exaggerations such as, "A family can be anything you want it to be: it can be two daddies or ten daddies..." When one of the kids starts crying, the teacher chides, "You're only crying because you're homophobic!"

Enjoy the shit show, after the jump...

This is a great example of the "Straw-man Fallacy".
