You can parse this all you want, but this is not just a matter of standing up for some abstract principle of your site guidelines, it's giving voice and a platform to an organized effort to strip me and all other lesbian and gay Californians of our civil rights.

That is not politics.

On a personal level, seeing those ads is brutalizing to me. I feel gutted. If you can even imagine what it's like to know that tomorrow millions of stangers who have never so much as laid eyes on me will be voting on my equality to them, maybe you'd realize this is not the equivalent of taking a McCain ad. It's something else entirely.

Please reconsider this decision, but unless and until you do, no, I won't be back.
