Chevrolet Showcases Gay Families In Olympics Opening Ceremony Ad
NBC News ^ | 2/8/2014 | Ben Popken

Posted on 02/07/2014 2:40:03 PM PST by LonelyCon

Coming just a week after Coke made waves when it aired the first Super Bowl ad to showcase a set of same-sex parents, the car-maker's new campaign is called "The New Us" and portrays a series of wide-ranging families.

"And while what it means to be a family hasn't changed," intones the Chevrolet narration over clips that include nuclear families, mixed race couples, adoptive parents, gay and lesbian parents, combinations of the above, and others, "what a family looks like, has. This is the new us."

The games have been criticized for taking place in Russia, which has made "gay propaganda" illegal. Earlier this week the deputy prime minister of Russia warned gay Olympic athletes not to touch children.

Chevrolet's new ad was welcomed by the gay community.

“Does anyone know how many homosexuals there actually are in this country?”

Estimates vary and what you consider “homosexual” has several definitions also. If you consider homosexual someone who, from birth, was attracted to their own sex, probably just 1-5 in a hundred. But people making a “lifestyle choice” may be most of what we consider progressives, who, to be considered “progressive” must have a wide variety of experience as the price of entry. Also, some areas have more than others; San Francisco, which was where all the free-love hippies ended up. Then there are people having sex with their own sex because the media and Hollywood make it look normal and acceptable. These are mostly people who are trying to be fashionable and may change their minds as they mature. I think we’re going through a cultural phase and we’ll outgrow it. The problem is there are no significant problems to solve; no pandemics (to speak of) no mass starvation, no world war…if anything of this nature develops you’ll probably never hear about homosexuals again as what people do will no longer be important. (The family tends to reassert itself when culture is under pressure.)

Disgusting. The vomit-worthiness. I will never support this company again. What a disgusting joke. What it means to be a family HAS changed. It changed for the little boy in Alabama adopted by two men who raped him. It’s changed for black youths being raised without fathers across this country. There’s no such thing as family in America anymore. The country has become a Sodomic cesspool of depravity, people wallowing in their feces while children suffer. Nobody care’s about children anymore. Kill ‘em in the womb, give them away to gay pedophiles. Why not?

Boycott.

gotta give them credit for their persistent indoctrination and intimidation. They’ve parlayed our sympathy for the early suffering AIDS patients through “live and let live” respecting of their privacy to dowhateber they want in the privacy of their own homes into they mow have the right to coach our kids and use whichever bathroom they self identify with.

once they co-opted the media it was just a matter of time

it seems Muslims are adopting their tactics as well.

God help us.

Not to mention what a grammatically weak sentence that is.

But this is what I meant in my comment #17, I feel like I'm running out of companies:

Ford Motor Co. Supports the Homosexual Marriage Movement
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1413512/posts

"If one looks for the company which has done the most to affirm and promote the homosexual lifestyle, he would be hard-pressed to find a company which has done more than Ford Motor Company. While this is hardly known to the general population, it is well known by numerous homosexual organizations. In fact, the Human Rights Campaign (a national homosexual organization whose goal is homosexual marriage) gave Ford a 100% corporate rating. Ford makes not only Ford, but also Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda, Volvo, Jaguar, and Land Rover."

...what a family looks like, has [changed].

What a family looks like has not changed, even though Chevy, and perhaps those from whom it takes instructions are trying to make it seem so.

One suspects that the next time you see a Chevy truck pulling up to a job site, it just might have a FOR SALE sign on it.

Ford has not owned Mazda, Volvo, Land Rover or Jaguar since 2010.

Funny how Chevrolet had zero interest in showing mixed race couples until it started wanting to suck up to the gay crowd. We've had mixed race couples and adoptive parents for decades and centuries but apparently these groups don't qualify us for "new us" status. Only the gays can take us to that level, apparently. But of course these other groups are still wheeled out because they do serve a purpose. They exist to justify the real object of the commercial, which is the gay parents.

I went to pick up my rental car on Wednesday night and the company had 3 cars left under their covered parking area. The lot attendant said, “choose any of the 3”. 2 were GM products (2013 Camaro, 2013 Impala, old body style) and the third was a VW Passat.

I would have taken the Passat, but I have been curious to drive the new Camaro for a couple of years, so I took it. As usual, the rental experience convinced me that it’s yet another GM product I didn’t need to own.

I put over 300 miles on it while visiting a customer, and also rode about 100 miles with the customer in his 2013 GMC Sierra. The interesting thing to me is that the Sierra truck had the same feel/ride as the Camaro going down the road. You could only notice a difference going around corners because of the body roll. I don’t know if that’s a win for the truck engineers or a loss for the Camaro engineers.

But, in the the 1.5 days I had it, the Camaro failed to impress. The V6 felt dogged under 2k RPM and the transmission was mushy and slow. In addition, the brakes surprised me while stopping...didn’t feel up to the task of bringing the beast to a halt. It felt much heavier than a 3,800 lb coupe in both acceleration and braking. I imagine the V8 provides a much better driving experience, but other things like Chevy’s MyLink, the arrangement of the windshield wiper stalk, and the use the same quality digital numeric display as the 2000 Suburban between the tach and the speedometer really turned off any interest I had in the car.

I agree with your take on it. I would say that Islam was using these tactics long before AIDS came on the scene.

We have to realize that there is a crafty being driving the Left, and he knows how to game man better than anyone. I will admit to thinking he drives both those camps too.

That's good to know. The last time I bought a car was before that.
