Them Before Us

Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its strong stance on a controversial social issue, leveraging the controversy surrounding Hobby Lobby and "Them Before Us" to create a compelling narrative. The use of direct quotes and contrasting imagery (anti-LGBTQ+ billboards vs. supportive community messages) likely fueled engagement and sharing.

Summary

The video discusses an anti-LGBTQ+ billboard campaign in Ohio, funded by the founder of Hobby Lobby and an organization called "Them Before Us." It highlights that these groups are working to end marriage equality, while also showcasing community responses that celebrate families with same-sex parents.

Original caption

These billboards weren’t funded by “concerned neighbors.” They were funded by Them Before Us, an anti-marriage equality organization that received a $300,000 grant in 2024 from The Servant Foundation, a Christian nonprofit backed by Hobby Lobby founder David Green and his family. Their message claims children can’t have two moms or two dads. Ohio’s response? A community-funded campaign reminding the world that countless children do have two loving moms or two loving dads, and those families deserve the same dignity and respect as everyone else. Love makes a family. No billboard can change that. 🏳️‍🌈❤️ #LGBTQ #hobbylobby #LoveIsLove #MarriageEquality #Ohio
