Markman, himself openly gay, said Equality for All is way ahead of the other political coalitions his firm has worked with in the past.

Zimmerman & Markman is widely regarded in the progressive community for its highly creative political advertising
MoveOn accounts for roughly half the business of their seven-member company; the rest of their time is spent on various initiative campaigns. Their successes include passage ofOregon’s physician-assisted suicide law, Arizona’s campaign-finance overhaul and last year’s California measure hiking taxes on those making more than $1 million to expand mental health programs and help the homeless. Their list of clients, past and present, reads like the pages of a left-wing telephone directory: the American Civil Liberties Union, Greenpeace, the Hollywood Women’s Political Committee, People for the American Way. It seems that even the Democratic Party, with its fitful feints to the middle, is not entirely to their taste.
Zimmerman says. ‘’We’re progressives who support the Democratic Party because it’s the best vehicle for achieving the kind of political power that could get us to where we want to go.
Zimmerman has managed or been the lead media consultant in more than 75 ballot initiatives in 13 states. In 2003 and 2004, he served as campaign manager for the MoveOn.org Voter Fund, while Zimmerman & Markman created and produced most of the advertising the organization sponsored.
“Our firm has used highly emotional and memorable advertising to help pass some of the most controversial initiatives in the nation, including physician-assisted suicide twice in Oregon, medical marijuana in seven states, drug treatment instead of incarceration in California, state-funded political campaigns in Arizona, civil asset forfeiture reform in Oregon and Utah.”

Budweiser spokesperson Scott Longfellow explained his company's controversial pro-gay stance: "Well, we were just so fed up with all of the discrimination that 3% of our customers were receiving, and with Miller daring to support another similarly maligned group, we felt it was our duty to get behind a proud people - And coors is no better
Ping.
Calling Miller “beer” is an exercise in philosophy.
