Loading ...The 8 top gay videos of 2008
This year, gay videos were viral.
From Keith Olbermann’s surprisingly emotional take on gay marriage to the musical that made us laugh, 2008 was the year that gay news made good video.
Here are our picks for the gay videos that made the most impact this year.As always, we welcome your additions in the comments.
1. Prop 8: The Musical!
This sly, star-studded response to Prop 8 – starring Jack Black as Jesus – made the economic case for gay marriage in such a funny, subversive way, you can’t help but sing along.
2. Keith Olbermann: Gay marriage is a question of love
Keith Olbermann stunned viewers with his six-minute rant on why the Prop 8 vote was wrong, saying, “Why does this matter to you? What is it to you? In a time of impermanence and fly-by-night relationships these people over here want the same chance at permanence and happiness that is your option.”

What a crock and what a slap in the face of Keith Olbermann.
Keith Olbermann’s essay on Prop 8 is not only the most incredible gay related video of the year, it is the most important of the last three decades.
You are absolutely nuts to not put that video at #1 with stars all around it!.
As exciting to hear VP-elect Joe Biden state what he did, you will notice that is on record as stating, “No. Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage.” What he did say is there will be “no distinction from a constitutional standpoint or a legal standpoint between a same-sex and a heterosexual couple” leaving open the door for federal recognition of civil unions, NOT marriage.
Keith Olberman should be the hands down winner.
Keith: I love you. I want to have your baby. We’ll name him Barack!!!!
I realize stewart probably didn’t mean it, but device of comparing gay parents to the worst celebutard heterosexual parents he could think of on the fly was a bit discouraging. I’m tired of allies using the dregs of “heterohood” to make gays seem more palatable to bigots like fat **** huck.
Keith Olbermann is an idiot…
Not for nothing but why the hell isn’t news posted here about the lesbian raped by four pig men in San Fran?
Menstruator,
What are you talking about? We covered that story:

If anyone spelled out our anger and frustration at the passing of Proposition 8 more, it was Keith Olbermann. His passionate statement expressing his condemnation of the gang mentality that overtook so many resulting in the passing of this proposition was so very evident and obvious in the film. It really brought tears to my eyes and a heavy feeling in my heart to see and hear this straight man come out in honest to goodness defence of the Gay Community and I feel that his film made the most impact and should be Number One instead of number two!
Where is the link for the Oberman vid?
Menstruator, they made a video of the rape?
Why exactly is Keith Olbermann an idiot?
olbermann made me cry. Nothing is more poignant or ever has been from a straight man. When we say, “they just don’t get us,” he does. Give the man his due.
Indeed joleen indeed.
Keith Olbermann is one of the few on network television who gets it. One of the few indeed.
To the ?person who thinks Keith Olberman is an idiot….. Millions of listeners think otherwise. BTW way, what is YOUR contribution to society? What is YOUR annual income?
hm ….
