Two thoughts:
- Who are these people? Am I supposed to recognize them?
- Every time I see this sort of thing on TV, in my daughter's classrooms, in editorials, or wherever, all I can think is that we're trying to recreate Judeo-Christian morality from scratch with no first principles. Good luck with that. We've been trying that since the libertines took over in the 70s and we've now devolved into ad campaigns like this. If it was going to work, it would have worked by now.

Indeed, ad campaigns such as this are about trying to get the logical consequences of Judeo-Christian morality without actually having a Judeo-Christian moral framework/base, and, in fact, having an anti-Judeo-Christian moral framework/base.
These same people, most of them at any rate, would be shrieking to the High Heavens were someone to behave as they're calling for while operating from a Judeo-Christian moral framework/base. They want to affirm 'not-A' while still, somehow, having the consequence 'A'.
Amen to that, amigo.
