Thank Campbell's Soup for gay-positive ad.

PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) has requested that LGBTQIs and their allies take a moment to thank Campbell's Soup for featuring a lesbian couple and their child in one of their holiday ads (which can be viewed here—Swanson's is owed by Campbell's).

Despite the ad's placement in The Advocate, Campbell's is receiving lots of negative feedback after the fuckazoids at the American Family Association urged their members to complain to Campbell's for featuring a queer family in its advertising.

So PFLAG has suggested contacting the Group Director for Corporate/Brand Communications for Campbell's, Anthony Sanzio, by email or by phone at 1.800.257.8443, and thank Campbell's for acknowledging diversity among families and showing that every kind of family is deserving of recognition and respect.

o.oP!
