The same-sex marriage debate has prompted a radio ad war.

Last week, the months-old Rhode Island affiliate of the National Organization for Marriage hit the airwaves with a spot that urges listeners to call their state legislators and tell them: “Stop messing with marriage and get back to work.”

Prompted by the scheduling of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Thursday night on a packet of bills for and against same-sex marriage, the ad revolves around an imaginary conversation between a child and an adult.

“Our kids will be taught a new way of thinking ... and soon, they will be thinking the unthinkable,” says the adult. “If my dad married a man, who would be my mom?” the child’s voice asks. ...

In response to the ad campaign, members of Marriage Equality of Rhode Island began soliciting donations over the weekend for a response.
