Another bad pro-gay-marriage commercial

After Prop 8 passed in California, there was an outpouring of thought about what to do next. The terrible TV commercials that the pro-gay-rights side aired were targeted and the people who led to their creation were blamed. There were marches, letters, conferences, symposiums, meetings, phone calls. After taking all of that in, Equality California has come out with another TV ad - and it's as though they weren't listening.

Actually, listening to the wrong people. There was a chorus after the election saying the mistake was not putting more gay people in the ads: Harvey Milk would have put gay people in the ads, so that was the mistake that was made. So what does EqCa do? They put Harvey Milk and gay people in the commercial. That's not enough; They need to change their message!

But the commercial misses the mark completely because it harps on the same old tired theme of "we're right and you're wrong." Telling people they have to give you something is no way to get them to give it to you; In fact, it often makes them want to keep it from you that much more. This commercial says "we deserve this" and "you can't keep us from it anymore." It mentions Jerry Falwell by name and identifies him as an enemy; Why would you want to alienate his friends and allies? How is that changing people's hearts and minds? It's more stomping feet and throwing a tantrum. That this is what they came up with after four months of listening is very, very sad.

I like this post called Another bad pro-gay-marriage commercial, is very interesting, I would like get more information about this

MediaCurves.com just conducted a study with 851 viewers of an ad by Truth and Hope supporting gay marriages. The results showed that Democrats and Independents reported ‘happiness’ and ‘inspiration’ as the emotions they felt most during the ad while Republicans reported ‘disturbed’ and ‘happiness’ as the emotions they felt most while viewing the ad. The study also found that 83% of Democrats, 77% of Independents, and 58% of Republicans indicated that the ad was effective.

Thanks,

Sorry, I was being dramatic. But seriously, Falwell and his ilk will never give us anything. There is no point in trying to build an ad to cater to them.

I think many different ads targeting many different people is an approach (though perhaps not ecomical). I think this ad serves a purpose by energizing gays who were maybe more apothetic prior to the previous prop8 vote.

Tim, what in hell are you talking about????? Rosa Parks? Who is saying we shouldn't fight for our rights?????

[Tim]

Cyd, "Jerry Falwell's friends and allies" will never give us our rights, no matter how much ass kissing we do.

I guess Rosa Parks should have just stayed in the back of the bus until people felt like it was time for her to have basic civil rights.
