CA Supreme Court to rule on Gay Marriage today (5/15) at 10:00am - Page 30

Oh, it was a GREAT commercial. Absolutely terrific in its point and in its application. But if they haven't followed up with anything else (especially for all the money they've raked in), and something that actually depicts gay marriage ... i'm gonna think they cinically calculated that gay would just turn voters off too much.

And then what's the point? If we have to win by losing?

So i just wanna see some gay in their campaign. (But i still don't wanna watch TV)

iSm: I understand what you're saying, but I think they have the right strategy. But as we get near the vote, I think they should change the reference to where instead of referring people to the website, they just put "Vote No on Prop 8". Because the clueless vote too.

New ad that just played during House. I like that this one appeals to parents (different demographic then the wedding one).

They just aired this ad on NBC (literally just before the opening debate credits)

Thanks BTD. Not nearly as entertaining, but at least they said what the issue was.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Polls have the Evil Measure losing by a close margin of 55% against it. But just as Obama may end up losing because, in the privacy of their non-questionnaire souls, too many white people just won't vote for a ni ... a ni ... ya know, the sheriff is a ni...

... well, it just may turn out that more statistically sampled Californians don't like faggots than will admit to it on the telephone.

I think it will be effective for the demographic they were aiming for, and it was more of a political ad then an entertainment ad (hope that makes sense).

Sadly, my dad is weirded out by "gay marriage" though he's adopted one of my friends as his "gay son". I've tried to use that (and the what if I was gay, you wouldn't want me marrying the person I love just because it wouldn't be a guy" analogy) on him. His issue is with the term "marriage". While "marriage" may have started out as a religious thing, it's turned into a verb, like Google.

I was happy to see another ad on the issue, during primetime, on Fox and I hope it reaches the inner cockles of the parental generation and helps them relate, as parents to the issue.

Clay Aiken came out of the closet.
No surprise there.
But he's on the cover of People with his child. "Yes I'm Gay" is printed on the cover in big letters.
I wonder if this will have a positive effect for the No on Prop 8 camp. I hope so.

Well, that should lock up the 57 year old, never-married women

It should have said "Yes I'm Creepy Beyond All Reasonable Belief (But I Have A Cute Profile on Manhunt.net!)" .... or something similar
