WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

Georgia Baptist Convention, God's Design

Members:

In this ad from the Georgia Baptist Convention--a partnership of churches--images of heterosexual couples appear over lush landscapes and waterfalls. Some of the shots also include children.

"Traditional marriage," reads the screen. "The core building block of our society. Preserve it November 2nd. Vote yes."

The final frame, a white screen with black text, says: "November 2nd, Marriage Amendment, vote yes."

A Web site address, www.marriageamendmentvoteyes.com, is also provided. The site defines marriage as between a man and woman, as "it was established in the Garden of Eden."

Georgia was one of 11 that passed an anti-gay-marriage amendment. It passed easily (77% to 23%). Other state vote results:

Arkansas: 75% to 25%;Kentucky: 75% to 25%; Michigan: 59% to 41%; Mississippi: 86% to 14%; Montana: 66% to 34%; North Dakota: 73% to 27%; Ohio: 62% to 38%; Oklahoma: 76% to 24%; Oregon: 57% to 43%; Utah: 66% to 34%
