A few days ago, the church of Jehovah’s Witness released a handy educational video to help kids and parents confront the icky issue of homosexuality. More specifically, it was produced by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, which is the nonprofit organization responsible for publishing the church’s faith-based literature.
Surely you’ve had a grandmotherly looking woman stop by your home with a cameo pin offering up copies of The Watchtower, so they’re the entity responsible for printing it. But since this is 2016 and even toddlers know how to operate mobile devices, the Witnesses have realized you can’t just hand out paperback brochures anymore and expect kids to care about your message. Kids love video and they love 3D animation, so why not incorporate those devices into your glossy new propaganda engine?
The video that’s making its way around the internet now is called “Lesson 22 One Man One Woman Matthew 19:4, 5” and in it we see a little girl who’s just wrapped up her last school project of the day. The class was tasked with drawing family portraits, and when she goes to grab hers off the blackboard she sees picture drawn by her classmate Carrie—the daughter of two lesbian moms.
In place of embedding the video here and giving the producers the satisfaction of one more click through, we’ve opted to give you the greatest hits from this two-minute video in the form of screen shots.
This has been your afternoon update in fundamentalist anti-LGBT propaganda watch. Go hug all the mommies in your life, and be the best lesbian… supporter… you can be.
