Ugh. Take a look at the full page ad ultra-conservative groups are running in key states before the upcoming Senate vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment. (That's the anti gay marriage amendment.)
Text of the ad:
"Unless the Senate passes the Federal Marriage Amendment, homosexual marriage could be coming to Ohio-and sooner than you think. Here's the bottom line: homosexual marriage intentionally creates fatherless families or motherless families. Think about it.
"Ohio's senators have said nice things about marriage. But so far they won't take the one step that will save it. They won't support the Federal Marriage Amendment. We thought you would like to know.
"Every child understands how important a mom and a dad are. Help make your senators as smart as a kid. Pick up the phone and tell their staffs you support the Federal Marriage Amendment, and they should too."
Does anyone really believe that these people are against gay marriage because they're worried about the children? If they're worried about children growing up right, maybe they could start funding education or something, or provide health care so kids can get vaccinations. Maybe we can teach our children to "love their neighbors" and stuff like that, instead of to be afraid of everything. Also note that this ad does not only disparage gays, but all single parents. These people are determined to drag our country back into the 19th century.

Bah. This shit really pisses me off.
