Don,
that’s my question too. even if local lgbt groups dont have the funds together with large groups like HRC there should be no financial reason why we cant make rebuttle commercials taking this thing apart and showing it for what it is they are doing it online. I would gladly show my support for these guys pooling money together to get things done

Where are the ads that promote equality? Maybe HRC and other organizations should be putting ads out there for people to see that shows us as being people just like everyone else. Boycotting actor’s is a ridiculous waste of time. We should be boycotting the advertisers and supporters of the t.v. stations that opt to air these ads. Next, we should be showing people through advertisement how false the statments made by NOM are. Although I think are too many frivolous lawsuits, suing them for false advertising would be justified.

I think this NOM ad actually helps our cause rather then hurts it. It is so laughable and lame, and it reeks of desperation – and I think most “middle-of-the-road” mainstream Americans will see it that way. And I’ll bet that the viral YouTube parodies have been seen by far more people than the actual commercial, which is only running in a limited number of markets. Add to that the number of people who saw the ad ripped up by Rachel Maddow and Stephen Colbert.

Then for an encore, NOM announced “2M4M,” thereby ensuring their status as national laughingstock and embarrassment to the right wing.

This ad might have preached to the choir, but I’m sure it won no new converts.

I say we should all have a good laugh at these clueless, desperate people and not get too upset about this.

“But of course, they did no such thing. They simply acknowledged that gay and lesbian couples are entitled to the same legal rights and responsibilities as their straight counterparts.”

It addresses the “born that way” as accepted consensus among the liberal bodies of the APA(s) even though there is no biological etiology for that argument. That constitutes fraud, whether intially perpetrated in 1955 or 2009 by the IA Supreme Court.

I agree with disgusted American, words kill, the Germans didn’t need T.V. to kill six million Jews, along with Gay People, Gypsies, Pole’s etc.

Words kill, not gas chambers, nor guns. Words are the building blocks of hatred, and when they target gay people with lies and hate, they, in essence are strategically dehumanizing us, thus making it easier for others to hurt and kill us.

I can’t express the importance of stopping this physiological warfare on Gay People, it threatens our very existence.

Weather it’s picketing their headquarters, or boycotting any and all television channels that run this ad, telling makers of other products on any channel we will not but any products from a channel that shows this offensive hateful ad, to anything else our community can think of

From now on let these hate mongers know, if they slap, WE PUNCH, our lives depend on it.

My favorite argument is the one that says churches will be forced to marry people against their beliefs. Civil law allows divorced people to marry, but try it in a Catholic Church.
