In the wake of California's passage of Proposition 8, a group of gay and lesbian families are taking to the airwaves, with five 30-second Public Service Announcements (PSAs) that are airing on daytime and prime time television throughout the state.

They ran in urban and rural markets on broadcast and cable channels during the Presidential Inauguration and will continue through the spring. Their purpose is to capture the hearts and minds of people who do not understand why marriage is so important to us.

Our message: Marriage promotes families. Support marriage equality Get to know us first.

Amazing video. I wish these had come out before Prop 8. These are even better than that wedding commercial where the lady keeps being tripped.

awesome!

and @scarecrow027

1) merriage itself is pervers.

2) if your relationship has nothing to do with lust that's pretty sad.

3) If you can't combine lust and love that's probuably the reason why you can't help getting angry at other people who just wanna enjoy their lifes.

4) Being gay is nothing evil. Get over it.

@DaughterOfYashua that's completely different and you know it. a dog is an unwitting participant. homosexuality is about consenting adults.

maybe i gave you too much credit in even trying to argue.

[DaughterOfYashua]

@taffysaur Homosexuality will have it's reward... What next, man and dog? Oh wait, bestiality is already happening!!!

[taffysaur]

think about it; are there ANY other ideas from the Bronze Age that we as a species still cleave to? c'mon, i KNOW you're smarter than this.

[taffysaur]

@DaughterOfYashua but, see YOU'RE the ones deciding what "sin" is. can't you see what an unfair argument that is? "your way of life is evil- in point of fact YOU are evil- because this 2000-yr-old book written by illiterate middle easterners and medieval muckamucks says so".

i'm not gay, but i recognize that everyone has a right to live their OWN life. so butt out of everyone else's and concentrate on your own. there is no such thing as good or evil, these are human abstractions.

@kevn4life hahahahaha I ain't xtian ut get what you mean.

YOU WALK IN A MAJOR CHURCH A USHER(GAY) WALKS YOU IN. YOU SIT IN YOUR SEAT LOOK STRAIGHT UP CHIOR DIRECTOR(GAY) IS LEADING THE CHIOR. WHEN THE SONG IS OVER THE MINISTER SPEAKS (EDDIE LONG) NEED I SAY MORE. I BELEIVE THAT IF GOD DISLIKES HOMOSEXUALS SO BAD THEN WHY WOULD HE PLACE SO MANY IN HIS PLACE OF WORSHIP. I ALSO BELEIVE THAT IF DRINKING ALCOLHOL IS A SIN, BEING A HOE IS A SIN BUT BEING A HOMOSEXUAL IS AN ABOMBINATION. WHAT GOD ABOVE ALL MAN WOULD SAY THAT?

@bella50008 a good church

[DaughterOfYashua]

@bella50008 I agree with your comment 100%. Being a "good" person, or doing charitable deeds will not get anyone into the Kingdom. God has called us all unto holiness, which can only come through Him. It is a tragedy that in this day and age pastors are not preaching the truth. Christ came to save us all from our sins. Homosexuality is a sin, and demonic spirit of perversion- and the good news is that there is hope at the cross. In the beginning God created them male and female.

Sorry guys, God loves you both, but he hates the sin of homosexuality.

There is nothing you can ever say to justify your actions. The Holy Bible states that Homosexuals along with other sinners will have no part in his kingdom.

As a Christian, I love you guys also, but God says what he means and means what he says. He is the final authority. Those who say being gay is ok, obviously have not read the laws that God expects us to live by. I'm not hating on you, just telling you God's truth.

What the heck kind of church was he sitting in where he could without conviction look at this man and say that's my husband. And then go on to marry him. Jesus have mercy.
