One Million Moms ‘Disturbed’ That JC Penney Is ‘Promoting Sin’ With Gay-Inclusive Ad
7:21 pm - 05/31/2012
Right on cue, the American Family Association’s One Million Moms has expressed outrage at JCPenney’s new Father’s Day advertisement featuring a same-sex couple with their kids. Suggesting the ad is “promoting sin,” OMM attacks the store for “taking sides” instead of remaining “neutral” in the “culture war”:
One Million Moms (OMM) is disturbed that JCPenney’s (JCP) is continuing down the same path of promoting sin in their advertisements. In JCP’s June catalog, there is another homosexual ad, but this time with two dads celebrating Father’s Day. The advertising booklet began arriving in mailboxes yesterday. If their marketing department follows the same plan they did in May, this mailer will be available to view on their website on June 1. [...]
It is obvious that JCP would rather take sides than remain neutral in the culture war. JCP will hear from the other side so they need to hear from us as well. Our persistence will pay off! One day we will answer for our actions or lack of them. We must remain diligent and stand up for Biblical values and truth. Scripture says multiple times that homosexuality is wrong, and God will not tolerate this sinful nature.
OMM previously attempted to boycott JCPenney when the store announced Ellen DeGeneres would be its new spokesperson, but they abandoned that boycott as a failure. There’s nothing to suggest this second effort will be end any differently.
It’s worth noting that OMM’s notion of “neutrality” is complete fiction. Same-sex families are very much a part of our society and our communities. There is nothing neutral about choosing to ignore them. One Million Moms is an anti-gay organization with an anti-gay agenda, and they clearly oppose any business that even dares acknowledge that gay people exist, let alone that they could be welcome customers.

The ad is all kinds of adorbs and I want to shut up and have JCPenny take my money.
I kind of hope JC does a similar ad for 4th of July to rub it in more.
I know it's also part of their marketing and I'm happy about it, but I can't wait for the day when it's not remarkable because some company decided they to feature more LGBT couples and people and more people of different body types and different races.
Also, stop calling yourself One Million Moms, when there's only about a few thousand of you. It's false advertisement.
Given the organization is run by a man, they should probably stop calling it 'Moms' too.
It's like clockwork, every time they start squealing
Also, I think companies put a lot of value on their Facebook following, so I liked JCPenney's page.
ETA: OH shit, $13 jeans! Hell yes!

What makes Dad so cool? He’s the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver — all rolled into one. Or two.
Good god, I'm getting cavities, this ad is so adorable. This entire advertisement is awesome. :D
Except for the shirt the dad on the right is wearing. >.<And I LOVE it.
Personally, I try to stay away from chains in favor of small local businesses, but I think I'm going to have to start buying some stuff at JCP.
So much sin in these photos. (Srsly, tho. My ovaries. Ow.)
TERRORISTMUSLIM. IT'S VERY SIMPLE.OH MY GOD THERE ARE GAY PARENTS AROUND WHO LIKE TO CUDDLE THEIR KIDS JUST LIKE STRAIGHT ONES DO
THINK OF THE CHILDREN
THINK OF SODOM and never mind the fact that Sodom's sin was about being rapey douchebags and not being gay
