Ad featuring gay couple and their family "too controversial" for one California station

We reported a while back that the group GetToKnowUsFirst.org was producing a series of PSAs featuring gay couples and their families as a response to Proposition 8 passing in California in November.
Yesterday one of the ads ran in 42 of the state's 56 counties before, during and after the Inauguration telecast ... but not on one station, in particular.
According to a press release from the organization, KABC refused to run the ad, deeming it "too controversial" to run during the Inauguration, as "many families will be watching".
Check out the ad over at the organization's website and tell us if you think it's "too controversial". Heck, watch it with your family and see if their heads explode or something.
