I have put forward this petition in the hopes that this TV ad will never see the light of a television set again! It needs to be banned. Teaching children of same sex families that they "are not a real family".
In this ad it states that allowing same sex couples to marry will "force a child to miss out on a mother or a father" it also shows the president of the Australian marriage forum saying "that's not equality for the kids who miss out. That's not marriage." In this day and age there is no room for such carelessness.
It is 2015 and we do not live in the dark ages where the LGBTI ( lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex) community is shunned. This ad is discriminating, degrading, offensive, damaging, a horrific step backwards and not to mention it's a way of putting fear into the minds of those who already hide their sexuality for these very reasons... This is bullying, abuse of power and a complete waste of money that could have been used in much better ways.
We, the undersigned, call on the decision maker at channel 7 media to eliminate the showing of the anti-marriage equality ad aired on Australian television.
We feel it is discriminating, hurtful, misleading and sending out the wrong message to those children that are the child/children of same sex couples.
