Commercials may open eyes on gay marriage
A referendum to put a ban on gay marriage in the Texas state constitution is on the ballot Nov. 8. I have not seen any polling data, but my guess is that opponents of the measure face extremely long odds.
Wisconsin's yahoos still plan to put a similar question on the ballot here for November 2006.
In Texas, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is airing a series of powerful TV commercials in the Houston market that -- whether it changes their votes or not -- will at least make people think about the issue differently. They feature real people, including a self-described redneck, telling real stories, and pack an emotional punch.
See them here.

If they want the ads to be more effective, they should starting airing them in marginal states like Wisconsin before the Right makes it a ballot measure. I know it would pressure on Doyle, but if that cause is to succeed it needs to move out from the coast and win a state in the midwest.
Of course, I'm just offering advice.
