The organization formerly known as the Christian Values Network issued a press release asking retailers not to give in to bullying on the part of Gay Activists. The group asks retailers to consider the facts before pulling the plug on the online portal. CVN, which now calls itself CGBG, claims to be a non-religious charity organization.
Representatives hoped to correct 5 mistruths spread by activists about the organization and its ties to the Summit Research Council, Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council. The author of the letter claims that these three organizations are not designated as hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law center. SPLC’s web page lists all three organizations as anti-gay hate groups.

Schickner calls this video simply, "F' Dan Savage".
As with many statements that come from the Bisexual community, the meaning changes only slightly when you substitute Asexual for Bisexual.
