As some of you may or may not have noticed, Google Adwords has been targeting our California readers by placing “Yes on 8” ads on The Dieline. This is inexcusable. I am not sure how long they have been running, but as soon as I noticed this morning I have removed all google ads until google can ensure that they will not run again, or until after the election. Google themselves are publicly against prop 8. I am sorry if this has angered any of our readers as much as it has angered me.
I have largely avoided displaying any political bias in any way on The Dieline, (I don’t want to mix politics and packaging!) but I will not stand for hate of any kind. Regardless of how you personally feel about marriage, any group that wants to remove constitutional rights is not acceptable, it is pure discrimination and hate. As a gay Californian, I will not stand for this. I believe in equal rights for all, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. I will not profit from these hateful ads, and I have taken all of today earnings and donated them directly to the NO on 8 campaign. I urge every Californian to please vote NO on 8. Please don’t take away my rights. Thank You.
