Another Win For The Gay Community

First, this took place in Britain.

"The Christian Congress for Traditional Values (CCTV) advert showed a man, woman, boy and girl with the statement 'Gay aim: abolish the family.'"

"The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said the organisation could not stand up the claim that it was likely to cause serious or widespread offence."

"The poster broke advertising rules on social responsibility, decency, matters of opinion and truthfulness, the ASA said"

"We considered the statement and the way it appeared was likely to cause offence both to the mainstream gay community and supporters of equality," said an ASA spokesman."

I love that British law prevented people from being unsympathetic and rude through lying. Why don't we get some of that law and stop people from telling children that evolution is a lie or that tax cuts will increase revenue for the government. Oh, Bill of Rights, perhaps you're too optimistic.
