Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends

This all started on November 20, 2012 when CollegeHumor, a New York City based web site posted a video called "Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends". In an amusing fashion, the clip puts forward the notion that if gay guys can't marry one another, they will marry the girlfriends of those men supposedly against gay marriage. Obviously CollegeHumor was on to something.

The YouTube channel Scotch Tape quickly responded with "Straight Men Respond to Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends". Then on November 23, 2012 the YouTube channel The Unsolicited Project chimed in with "Gay Women Will Marry Your Boyfriends". So far, so good.

But, it would seem that video #2 "Straight Men Respond to Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends" raised the ire of some women. Apparently a bunch of guys saying, "Go ahead and marry my girlfriend because I didn't want to marry her" didn't come across as being funny so much as being indicative of your traditional male chauvinist. Let the fireworks begin.

On December 2, 2012, a YouTube channel called TheCadClub posted "Ladies Respond to Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends".

Funny or Die posted "Straight Girls Respond To Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends" and the group of ladies took to calling the straight guys douchebags. Get the idea these ladies were none too pleased with the straight guys? One woman says, "Hey douchebags, you think vaginas are awesome? Really? Then why don't you want to put your mouth on them?"

Alice Dranger posted "Straight Women Respond: Straight Men's Response to Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends" in which the ladies all look to the camera to response directly to the straight guys with, "F**k you."

FeetFirstFilms posted "Gay Men Will Marry Your Girlfriends: Straight Women Respond To Straight Men" and a woman says, "Hey straight dudes, the chances of you being able to write a thank you note, put a stamp on it, and mailing it is the same chance of you finding my clitoris without me addressing the envelope for you."

FYI: I don't know why, but CollegeHumor recently changed their policy and disabled the embedding of their videos. C'est dommage. I've written to them about this. Click here for direct link to YouTube; opens in new Tab.

In this video, the straight guys above who don't want to marry their girlfriends are referred to as douchebags. I like the line "Hey douchebags, you think vaginas are awesome? Really? Then why don't you want to put your mouth on them?"

Final Word
The purpose of the original CollegeHumor video is to support gay marriage. From there, people started riffing on the idea. It's all quite funny and brings up many issues about not just gay rights, but the traditional roles of men and women. I'm a man but I did find the ladies criticizing the "douchebags" to be funny. Ha ha ha. Ouch, but ha ha ha.
