A Tennessee television station has banned an ad from Freedom to Marry because of its support for same sex marriage. The advertisement features veteran Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld who speaks about his desire to marry his partner after returning from working as a trauma surgeon in Afghanistan.
Via PinkNews:
The station blocked the ad, with manager Tom Tolar tellingBuzzfeed: “It’s just a very controversial and personal issue, and we just choose to not air a commercial on either side of that debate.
“People probably have really strong opinions on one side or other of the debate. It’s just an emotional debate for many people.”
Tennessee remains one of the 13 states in the US who still does not allow same-sex marriage. You can watch the ad below:
