Advocates Release Second Ad On Same-Sex Marriage

May
26

On the heels of today’s poll, same-sex marriage advocates in New York released a second ad today, featuring a Warsaw, Wyoming County, family who has a gay son.

The ad is being broadcast on the Internet by the Empire State Pride Agenda, which is hoping to raise money to put the ad on television. The group is running a television ad already that started earlier this month.

The latest ad features Karen Schuster and two of her children: her 23-year old daughter Jessica, who is straight, and her 19-year old gay son Luke, who is gay.

“I believe that Luke has the goal of settling down with someone and I want him to be able to do that and to have same rights as other people,” Karen said.

Added Luke: “It makes me feel very upset that my sister is able to have this wonderful thing called marriage and I’m just as much of a citizen as she is, but I’m not allowed to have the same thing.”
