July saw the launch of a mobile billboard campaign that drew attention to the apparent lack of concern for children in the same-sex marriage debate.
The billboard was to be driven around central London for two days, highlighting research which shows that, compared with all other domestic arrangements, including those of gay couples, children flourish best when raised by their married birth parents. The evidence can be found on the website www.GayMarriageNoThanks.com
However, after the driver received abuse and the truck carrying the billboard was vandalised, the advertising company, Adtrailers Ltd., informed the group sponsoring the billboard that they were unable to send out the truck for a second day. A company representative said that people had made personal threats by email and over the phone which were ‘horrific’ and ‘the worst I have known’.
