My heart was sent crashing to the floor when I heard the California Supreme Court's decision today to uphold the state's ban on same-sex marriage. But, as I quietly and privately picked up the pieces, there came a good reminder from the Courage Campaign to "come out, come out, wherever you are," as Harvey Milk famously said, and take my heartbreak public.

This new spot puts the issue of marriage equality in the context of other forms of discrimination -- on the basis of sex, age and race -- that are more broadly recognized and reviled.
