The recent "ejector" ad for the United Church of Christ, which shows people of different races,
backgrounds, and sexual orientation being literally ejected from their pews, was passed on by pretty much every network
for being too controversial. However, the LGBT network here! has agreed to run the commercial on their TV and Web
properties free of charge as a public service announcement. The spot, which you see below, was also rejected by LOGO,
MTV Networks' gay and lesbian channel. I can understand major outlets backing away from a seemingly
"controversial" ad, but LOGO's decision has me somewhat baffled.
