New PSA from Fort Worth, Texas police officers (my hometown!) in support of marriage equality.
From the clip description: Three police officers from Fort Worth, Texas talk about why they support the freedom to marry in Texas - and speak out on their support for their colleague Chris Gorrie, a detective who wants to someday marry his partner Justin.
"Texans believe in freedom and liberty, and part of that is being able to marry who you love. Chris should be able to marry whoever person he loves."
The ad is airing across Texas this week in advance of a key federal appeals court hearing Friday.
From The Houston Chronicle:
The $100,000 TV buy will air Sunday and Monday, just days before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans is slated to hear arguments in a case challenging Texas’ constitutional ban on gay marriage.
“The aim is to show gay Americans are really completely integrated into the fabric of our society,” said Mark McKinnon, a former advisor to President George W. Bush and Texas chair of Southerners for the Freedom to Marry. He called the ads an “electronic blanket” to reinforce a recent wave court cases validating LGBT Americans right to marry in other states.
