Whenever A Homophobic Comment Is Made On This Video, Something Amazing Happens
Most of the time, the Internet is a cesspool of hate and jerkfaces, especially when you read the comments. But for once, it's actually a good thing to get those awful comments.
Seriously.TV made a video of several pairs of "men kissing men." This video was made after the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, where 49 people were killed on Sunday.
The shooter allegedly was moved to commit this horrific act of violence after seeing two men kissing, according to his father. This video speaks directly to the notion that the sight of two men kissing can still cause such anger and hatred.
The blatant video aims to provoke.
It shows the couples kissing for about 20 seconds. Then, a man appears onscreen with a series of signs:
People who have a problem with this probably already stopped watching, which is a bummer ... for them. Because for every homophobic comment we get under this video, we'll donate $1 to the OneOrlando fund.
The OneOrlando fund directly supports victims of the Pulse shooting and their families, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Orlando.
Most of the comments on the video are now jokingly homophobic, in order to add to the $1 donations.
As of Friday afternoon, the video was up to 7,000 comments. That's a lot of love coming from hate.
