      <![CDATA[Thepot poster is actually good because of the identifiable highly graphic logo.

We need one for gay marriage equal rights, too. 

How about a heart outline, like  a valentine shape but just the outline, with a bold equals sign inside it?

Appeals to broader unifying themes of love, commitment, equality etc. stuff everyone feels good about.  Makes the whole issue appealing to traditional folks who value love and commitment and marriage....and euqality...so why shouldn't gays have that too?

Seizes the high moral ground of love and equality.

Hey love is even in the bible, too!!

spreads the message of "we're just like you, this is aoubt our loving relationships, equality, etc. instead of "hey this is something for just this one minority group."


Remember Hands Off Washington?  The thumbprint inside ghostbusters?  That graphic looked great, was simple, was graphic and said "hey this is about govt. harshness versus privacy" or even "hey this is about us washingtonians versus those californians taking over our politics up here" -- very unifying themes.

What's more unifying than I heart you?  Than equality for all?

I rest my case.

unity --
