Gay marriage friends and foes have begun their showdown on the airwaves in California. Both sides have ads running in most markets in an attempt to influence voters on a November 4th constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage in the state.
Opponents of gay marriage hit the ground running with an initial $10 million ad buy that started on Monday.
The first Yes-on-8 (Proposition 
commercial to air begins with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom at a May 15th rally at City Hall, where he is seen celebrating the state Supreme Court’s decision legalizing gay marriage.
“This door’s wide open now. It’s going to happen – whether you like it or not,” Newsom declares to a cheering crowd.
The reason for Newsom’s inclusion in the video is obvious: He appears self-satisfied and smug as he declares, “Whether you like it or not.”
