A new anti-Prop. 8 ad hits the internet...

This "No on Proposition 8" spot was produced by HOMOtracker, a small group of gay and lesbian Hollywood industry professionals and debuted on Towleroad.com today. It's one of a series of message ads that are based on the well-known, successful, and oft-imitated "Mac vs. PC" script.

And this is one of the spots that has been running on TV featuring the Thorons, a couple married 46 years who speak of treating their three children equally - including their lesbian daughter. The spot has dignity and comes from the heart. So, of course, it;s nbot as effective as the pro-Prop 8 ads with the big bucks behind them.

I had not seen this spot before featuring Molly Pier who decribes herself as a Jewish mother. Her gay son died but she is still in constant contact with his partner who she considers her "fourth son."
