Kate Lambert parodies gay marriage

Lesbian comedian Kate Lambert has produced a hilarious video parodying cash-for-gold commercials. The faux ad exists in an alternate-universe United States where queers can trade in their unattainable civil rights for cash. As funny as it is, I’m sure American gays would still rather have the right to marry. We’re already more affluent per capita, after all.

Choice quote: “As a lesbian I had fought for my right to marry. Then some woman at a rally yelled something at me that really opened my eyes. She said if I was able to marry another woman, then she might as well marry a llama. Then I realized she was right. Me marrying my partner of eight years was the exact same thing as her marrying a Peruvian farm animal.”
