verbicideCBS, NBC refuse to air UCC television advertisement
"In focus groups and test market research conducted before the campaign's national rollout, the UCC found that many people throughout the country feel alienated by churches. The television ad is geared toward those persons who, for whatever reason, have not felt welcomed or comfortable in a church."
It's the most innocuous ad ever. And it has a really good message. It's what a spiritual organization should be doing --welcoming members with open arms.
It's reprehensible that CBS and NBC have refused to air it because they deem the concept of acceptance of gay & lesbian members too controversial.
