God Hates A Fag - The Video
Seen earlier today on Gawker and Dan Savage's blog via YouTube, but taken down (because it's so amazingly homophobic and hateful?), only to remain on MySpace, here is the craziest video of the day, "God Hates a Fag".
Here at LAist, even though we (still) believe that the Freaked Out Bride video is real, we will have to assume that this is satire.
However, if you notice, very few people are willing to participate or show themselves in this clip, which makes us think it's real and serious.
Plus there's the God Hates Fags family, which means there could possibly be more like them, who just happen to know how to sing pretty well... and write uplifting, yet completely wrong, anthems.
So we're unsure. We hope it's satire, but we're afraid it might be serious.
The AV Club says the answer is in the singers' web site, particularly when he talks about Oscar Wilde.
Please be satire.
