Anti-gay ad on here

I went on here today and noticed on this board, on the right of the screen, there is a school boy at a desk resting his head on his hands with text above saying:

"Don't let the public schools teach homosexual marriage. Listen to the SHOCKING NPR story"

It then asks to listen to the story and donate to "Stand For Marriage Maine", a political group destined to ban gay marriage.

I find such an ad on this board to be highly inappropriate. Does anyone else agree?

" That is simply riduclaus, not only to have it illigal but to have it as a ad on here!! Marriage should be between two people whom love eachother it shouldnt matter what genders they are! It makes me sick that people think that the bible should lead the world espessially the US, it starts religious wars and in the US it is ILLIGAL to mix Church and State, I say gay's make their own church and their own bible because the bible is a book that has been edited multiple times over the decades, so for those who believe it is 100% gods words they are sadly mistaken
Not that i dont believe in god, i do , I love god, but I DO NOT believe that god said "I love all my children" and than turn around and say except gays, and others. "

" I agree that it really pissed me off at first but then I thought well better us to see the ad and realize that its propaganda then to show it to a socially moderate group who could be swayed but it. If they want to waste their money so be it. It hurt when I saw it but I knew that if I let it get to me then 'they' would win. "

" I agree! Did you tell Doug? I hope so!!!

Will the right-wing conservatives ever stop this blatant discrimination? I think now. Not until one of their own son's or daughter's kill themselves, or attempt to, because of their never ending hatred is stopped. It has never been so obvious to be that eventually the world will destroy itself, not because of oil, gas, or water -- but because of ideology. Its time we learn as earthlings to neonate peace and foster difference.

If there is a God, then let him prove it through the changing of the hearts of earth kind. "

" Well said. Very well said.

I find it laughable how a significant amount of far right conservatives or preachers who discriminate against homosexuals end up either having gay experiences themselves (Ted Haggard, a former right wing preacher who had a relationship with a male prostitute) or having a son/daughter who is gay (Alan Keyes, who basically disowned his daughter when she came out to him as a lesbian). These people who claim to be men of God yet spend their time bashing gays, abortionists, atheists, and so on only make Christianity much less appealing to a majority of us. "
