Marriage Alliance angry after channels 'refuse to run ads against gay-marriage'

Ms York said the Marriage Alliance wanted to find out what impacts legalising same sex marriage would have.

“We so have to find out what ramifications there will be. What will be the effects, there'll be so little discussion about this,” she said at the launch last Sunday.

The group said it had contacted Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull to make them aware of the decision.

"Has political correctness or the power of a certain lobby group reached so far down that it now erodes the once proud Australian 'fair-go' character that it is preventing ordinary Australians from having a voice?” Ms York said.

I guess the TV Channels have the right to refuse or accept advertising as they see fit. But this ad isn't really even saying anything for or against. It's just inviting you to contact them for further discussion.

And did I mention that the organisation is run by Sophie York?

Runs the Lane Cove branch of thre Liberal Party and ran for preselection in Bradfield.

So?

Could be regarded as political advertising.

Yet not a word about politics.

It is a fear based campaign that serves no purpose other than the spreading of ridiculous bs.

Where's the fear?

From their website,"Same sex marriage will lead to more same sex parenting."

It's not. It's denying those against to even have a voice.

The ad makes no sense.  It makes no difference what lies under the water when the liner will be sunk by hitting what's on top.  In other words, they are not inviting discussion.  They want you to know your sunk by supporting gay marriage.

yeah but j*oono, its not political, right? 

sad sad little frightened ad

The way I see it, the liner stops before hitting the iceberg. As in...stop, look, listen before you full steam ahead.
