Gay Marriage Ads Showdown Begins

Gay marriage friends and foes have begun their showdown on the airwaves in California. Both sides have ads running in most markets in an attempt to influence voters on a November 4th constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage in the state.

Opponents of gay marriage hit the ground running with an initial $10 million ad buy that started on Monday.

The first Yes-on-8 (Proposition 8) commercial to air begins with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom at a May 15th rally at City Hall, where he is seen celebrating the state Supreme Court's decision legalizing gay marriage.

“This door's wide open now. It's going to happen – whether you like it or not,” Newsom declares to a cheering crowd.

The reason for Newsom's inclusion in the video is obvious: He appears self-satisfied and smug as he declares, “Whether you like it or not.”
