Homosexual-rights group launches TV ad to promote same-sex marriage

California Catholic Daily reports:
“A shallow, emotional appeal”

The somewhat dark and foreboding TV ad depicts a lovely bride walking down a garden path toward her wedding ceremony. As her handsome groom awaits her, the bride is tripped by an onlooker and stumbles to the ground. On the verge of tears, she looks up to the viewer and these words appear on the screen: "What if you couldn't marry the person you loved?"

The ad, found at the Equality California web site, represents yet another prong of the campaign to use the force of law to back up a radical redefinition of marriage -- a redefinition already rejected by California voters in 2000 when they overwhelmingly approved Proposition 22. Stymied in their push to dethrone natural marriage through legislation or litigation, Equality California is coordinating a pricey advertising campaign to "open hearts and minds" by broadcasting the 60-second spot in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Palm Springs, and Sacramento.
