WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

Georgia Baptist Convention, Picture It

Members:

In this ad from the Georgia Baptist Convention--a partnership of churches--portraits of heterosexual couples appear, each accompanied by a camera click. Some of the portraits also include children.

"Picture it," reads the screen. "Traditional marriage. Protect it. The core building block of our society. Preserve it November 2nd. Marriage Amendment, vote yes."

The final frame repeats this message and shows three building blocks.

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%
