Democratic Candidate "Comes Out" to his Dad....

By Stephanie Burke

Carl Sciortino Jr. is a Massachusetts state representative who is running in the Democratic primary for the Congressional seat vacated by Edward J. Markey, who was elected to the Senate. The special election in the heavily Democratic district is set for Dec. 10, with the primary on Oct. 15. Sciortino is facing seven other Democratic candidates.

Sciortino is openly gay and “pokes fun” at that status in his new tongue -in -cheek ad campaign.  Personally I think the ad is adorable.  The ad includes his father, Carl Sciortino Sr., who his baffled at the fact his son is….a “Massachusetts Liberal!”

The ad has father and son going back and forth on views such as assault weapons and buffer zone laws.  However, the ad does show that even though they may not see eye to eye the love is still there! I think there is an amazing underlying message that families disagree but in the end, no matter what, there is love!

Take a look at the ad below and feel free to share your thoughts.
