John McCain may be “on the safe side” when it comes to voicing his opinions on gay rights, but his wife isn’t. Here she she can be seen in a celebrity-filled PSA saying some controversial comments like, “Our political and religious leaders tell LGBT youth that they have no future.”
After seeing this video, I think we know who wore the pants in the family before John and her got divorced.
While I love the fact that celebrities are voicing their opinions when it comes to supporting the LGBT community, I think this video could have been put together a tad bit better. For starters, it’s way too long for a commercial and I felt as if I were being lectured by the halfway mark.
Another thing I didn’t really like about the video was the line about how homophobia “starts with a joke.” I’m sorry but jokingly saying, “That’s so gay!” doesn’t incite violence. In fact, I know quite a few members of the LGBT community that use that phrase in jest.
That being said, I’m so glad McCain’s wife is an actually taking a stance on an important issue (unlike her iffy husband). Who knows, Hilary might have some competition in the next election.
