If you really want homosexuals to suffer, allow them to wed so they're forced to endure the torture of marriage just like straight people. That's the odd reverse logic employed by this humorous three-minute video, which stars Justin Long and Mike White as a gay couple who get married and quickly learn to despise each other. (Everything from urine-covered toilet seats to penis-mural surfboards drives them apart.) The video, for which all the talent involved worked for free, was created by opponents of California's Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in the state in 2008.
