Given recent discussions here over our children, that particular ad really pushes my buttons.

When I was a child, our country was starting to emerge from the dark ages with regard to judging people by skin colour. Soon that flowed into women's rights, though we still have work to do on both counts. And we also started a slow climb on lgbt rights, yet this seems to be where bigots are digging in their heels and trying to fire back. That is an incredibly hurtful and offensive ad. If anyone is in those states... please write to your Senators.

LOL, I thought you were teasing me, which of course is something I would *never* do to you. ;-)

Anyway... when you click on the link, see the ad with a pic of a boy? Read it closely.
