This is an extremely good ad, but I doubt it will change any minds that aren't already on the verge of changing. I'm pretty sure the people against same-sex marriages believe as they do because of their religions.
I "accidentally" got into a conversation with my sister (a Calif. resident) about gay marriage -- this was after Prop 8 -- and she defended her anti stance with "Well, we still live in a democracy." True, but that's exactly why it took so long for women to get the vote. Lots of people agreeing one something doesn't make them all RIGHT.
I was about to quote Alexis de Tocqueville (http://xroads.virginia.edu/~HYPER/DETOC/1_ch15.htm) and talk about the "tyranny of the majority" but stopped myself.
