Although Gov. Schwarzenegger has twice vetoed the Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act (AB 43), he has recently signed other legislation that protects and supports LGBT Californians. Consequently, this is a perfect moment to get people talking about fairness for all families.
Towards this end, Equality California is airing THIS NEW AD that is putting viewers in the shoes of gay and lesbian couples who are prevented from marrying the person that they love.
I have to say, it's perhaps the best I've seen. Nice to see that many real journalists agree with me. đŸ˜‰ Have a look. And if you'd like to help keep it on the air, you can do that here.
Please share widely!
… It really has the potential to enhance the empathy of the viewer toward the situation my making it so visceral.
there was an ad out last year showing a guy going door to door, asking each person whether he could marry his girlfriend. like the present ad, that one put straight people in the shoes of gay people who have to ask every vote if we can get married. the current ad does with heartstrings what that ad did with humor.
