Idiotic Ad from “Protect Marriage Washington”: In May of 2004, gay marriage was legalized in Scandinavia. What happened? Did you know that, that year alone, suicide rates doubled and the illegal drug rate increased 19 times?

Stephen Colbert: Terrifying. And that ad is no less terrifying just because there is no country called “Scandinavia,” none of the countries in Scandinavia passed gay marriage laws in 2004, and the statistics on suicide and drug use are made-up. I say it just proves the terrible toll gay marriage has on fact-checking.
