From a while back I stumbled upon these videos from the FCKH8 campaign and I've never forgotten them and their in-your-face nature. The FCKH8 website was created by non-profit media campaigner Luke Montgomery, fierce public supporter of gay marriage rights. Back when he was a teen, Luke was the headline-making gay activist who legally changed his last name to Sissyfag, in an effort to make a point about discrimination against gays and lesbians.
They have pushed out videos promoting their swag in order to raise money for the cause, for over a year, but I recently saw one with an ending that in between all the usual cursing and imagery really shocked me. You'll see they made two very young boys kiss at the end of the Top 5 Reasons to Ban Gay Marriage video. Is this pushing the envelope too much? How do you feel when you see their videos? I love the sarcastic nature of both their Top 5 Reasons videos, but when are their tactics considered too much?
