Get To Know Me First
Came across this while reading the Edge and thought it was a really great idea. From my personal experience, I have found that when people are able to put a ‘human’ face on a thing – it goes a long way. Get to know me and walk a mile in my shoes before you go judging anyone. From Get To Know Me First:
In the wake of California’s passage of Proposition 8, a group of gay and lesbian families are taking to the airwaves, producing five 30-second commercials to air on daytime and prime time television throughout the state. These commercials will run in urban and rural markets on broadcast and cable channels during the Inauguration week in January 2009. Their purpose is to capture the hearts and minds of people who do not understand why marriage is so important to us.
Intelligent people can talk until the cows come home about whether gays and lesbians should be able to marry, should it be called “marriage,” and what are the implications. Intelligent people can disagree.
It’s all abstract until they meet us and put a face on the issue.
