Prop 8 Ads

With election day nearing, I've been seeing more and more Prop 8 ads on the air, both for and against. It looks like the side against Prop. 8 have more money as I see more of their ads during the more expensive prime time hours, whereas the pro Prop. 8 ads are much less frequent and seem to air in between infomercials during the late night. On top of that, the one ad I have seen promoting Prop. 8 is horrible. Is that the best we can do? I can think of some talented people in the media who support Prop. 8 who could do much better than the sorry excuse of a commercial that is airing now. Just my opinion.

i kind of agree. i think we can do better.

in the meantime

Defining marriage as between one man and one woman is not taking away anyone's rights. The definition simply distinguishes a union which is biologically designed to produce its own children. Whether a married couple has children or not, I feel like this deserves a separate name--even the potential is kind of a miracle.

Actually this definition can be seen as the ultimate expression of equality our society has to offer: it takes one man and one woman. One could see a lesbian union as a marginalization of men, or a homosexual union as a marginalization of women.

Equality is especially important when it comes to raising children. Children deserve/need a father and a mother. Neither parent should be marginalized.

Yes, many children are already growing up in single-parent homes. Prop 8 should be a reminder to everyone that as a society we need to assist and strengthen families as much as possible. Really, as a society we should be most concerned with the success and health of our families.

The reality is the vogte no'ers have only a third the money of the voters for prop 8 so I don't get the lack of advertising either...I'm kind of wondering what is going on with our money...
