Here’s the press release:
Today Log Cabin Republicans, the only LGBT advocacy organization on the Obamacare Repeal Coalition, denounced a video advertisement by Out2Enroll exploiting gay stereotypes to encourage gay men to enroll in the Affordable Care Act.
“This cynical ad betrays the depths Obamacare advocates will sink to in order to pad their pathetic enrollment numbers,” Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director Gregory T. Angelo declared. “As a self-proclaimed ‘fierce advocate’ of gay equality, President Obama would do well to distance himself from this nonsense and denounce it immediately. This ad is also an example of the left promoting harmful stereotypes that gay men are nothing more than sex-crazed lechers. If anyone on the right made such a comparison, liberals would be apoplectic. At a time when left-wing propagandists are decrying Duck Dynasty‘s Phil Robertson for equating homosexuality with promiscuity and deviance, Out2Enroll and others should take a look in the mirror and ask if the truth is that they are the ones responsible for promoting such harmful stereotypes.”
Here’s the video:
Some of the lyrics (courtesy of Michael Lofti):
Hope you’re stuffed from your Thanksgiving
Now ’tis the season of giving
‘Fore the Doctor brings a lump of coal
Get Enrolled, Get Enrolled, Get Enrolled!
And, when it’s time for resolutions
A health insurance solution,
Don’t get left in the cold
Get Enrolled, Get Enrolled, Get Enrolled!
When you finally meet Mr. Right
Never again will you be alone
You’ll be glad you went to the site
Together you’re a happy home
Pre-existing conditions won’t stop ‘em
New plans are better; can’t top ‘em
Whether Bronze, Silver, or Gold
Get Enrolled, Get Enrolled, Get Enrolled!
