What happens

In 2009, the National Organization for Marriage launched a $1.5 million ad campaign targeted at five states where same-sex marriage was being debated using a 60-second video entitled "Gathering Storm". In the advertisement, a series of actors set against a backdrop of clouds and lightning speak about the ways that "gay marriage" activism has cut into freedom of religion and parental rights.
