Yep, It's even more disgusting when it happens in your own state.

Sat down this morning to feed my kid and eat my Joe's O's when something on NY1 caught my eye.  It was an ad calling on New Yorkers to call their State Senators demanding that they oppose gay marriage.  It's an ad paid for by the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), and that fact that it's running is not really surprising.  What is hard to take is that the ad is clearly targeting African Americans.  I know that minority communities voted heavily for the Prop 8 proposal in California which ended legal gay marriage.  So NOM's strategy is to play on that same theme here in NY rather than focus it's energies on activating their more traditional cultural conservative base.  I've read about this type of effort to enlist specifically church-going minority communities against gay marriage in Ohio in 2004 and California in 2008 so it's not new...it's just more sickening when you see it up close for some reason.
