Google violates own policies -- runs anti-gay ads. Please call and tell them to stop.

Google's policy

Ad text advocating against any organization, person, or group of people is not permitted.

Advertisements and associated websites may not promote violence or advocate against a protected group. A protected group is distinguished by their:

* Race or ethnic origin
* Color
* National origin
* Religion
* Disability
* Sex
* Age
* Veteran status
* Sexual orientation/Gender identity

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

CALL TO ACTION: If you think these ads should be pulled from Google ads for "advocating against a protected group" and causing a "chilling and discriminatory effect" on Google employees and customers, please send Google an e-mail or call them at [phone]. Ask them to stop making money from our fight for equality. Remind them that - as Sergey said - this is "an issue of equality."

Mormons and Catholics have poured over $10 million into Prop Hate ads in CA. Now, Google is violating its own policies to help them.

1. I haven't seen these ads on Google...

[nichomachus]

2. They are served up to Web sites (some like this one) based on keywords

Here's one that showed up on a gay and lesbian web site.

3. Ooooooh.
