I came across this one through an email at work. Get To Know Us First is a group sponsored by POWER UP in California. They are producing 30-second television spots that feature families of same-sex couples. I really like the direction that these ads take because they show people who are otherwise unexposed to homosexuality that these families are real and that they are just as normal as any other family. I really think that one of the biggest hurdles to achieving acceptance and equality is ignorance and this campaign attempts to educate people and overcome that problem. It’s just another of the many ways that homosexuals need to come out and speak out -- to change the opinions of our friends, families, and neighbors for the better.
