Creepy Yes on Prop 8 ad

[sqbr]

I know this is old news (I saw a vague reference to this on a metaquotes discussion and googled it), but I just found it really bizarre seeing an ad actively promoting homophobia. I guess it hadn't really sunk in that that's what people were doing.

I imagine the others are just as bad but that was enough for me.

Am I the only heterosexual person who would have no problem with my kids reading gay fairytales? Then again, when I was a kid we used to play pretend at being lesbians(*) so, you know... :D

(*)I'm trying to think of a way to make this sound less weird, but in retrospect, it was pretty weird. Ironically, the only boy we let play is the only one of us who ended up actually being gay, afaict. See! No harm done!

I remember playing marriages as kids, we never married boys in those games. Marrying other girls was much nicer :P

I never did get why my parents said girls could only marry guys.

Same. And yet it never occurred to me as an actual real life option for myself :) (Probably a good thing, since I would have been disappointed a few years later when I realised I was straight)
