This is from a couple of days ago, but is relevant to Father's Day weekend. I think if one looks at the pictures attached to this piece from the Colombus Dispatch, it is clear that Mother's Day and Father's Day are now openly celebrated as victories of the gender wars, along with everything else.

My grandfather worked for Heinz corporation and I was dismayed also by this ad of theirs which runs openly in Europe (which sets the stage always for the next phase here) - from gay closet to gay agenda to mainstream is "Mission Accomplished": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLNPdZPSII0

Expunge God and spirituality from society and invariable something will fill the vacuum.

So damned sad what has happened to America.

Yes, and this vacume was of course strategically created, with much cunning.

This link hadn’t posted before.
Although this has yet to run in the U.S., as stated we are always just a bit behind with the agenda, so it does foretell the future. Notice how the children call the one gay partner, “Mum”:

Addendum on Heinz ad:

Of course Heinz said that it ran the ad due to the “Mum” only being imagined as a NY Deli man. But in our era, it is clear it was a test run of a gay marriage type ad. I have seen now that it was pulled, but the trend continues to build, such as the new GAP gay ads and those of McDonald’s in France.

To me the Ellen ads and the “gay parents” ads are two completely different things. The Ellen ads had nothing to do with pushing an agenda and they were pretty cute. The fact that it was Ellen made no difference...there is no explanation needed to your kids, no blatant agenda. But the ads with same sex parents are offensive on Mothers’ and Fathers’ Days. People have to explain it to their kids, it is really in your face. I hate it when holidays are used this way. By the way, I want to go back to having “GEORGE WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY” not “Presidents’ Day” and change MLK DAY to “Diversity Day or Social Leader’s Day or some other “group” name that would include not only MLK, but Chavez and other such movement people. If we are to have only one day with a specific person’s name on it, it should be George Washington. It must be taken back the same way it was taken away...little by little. All these little things really add up.

I agree: The blatancy is really the only thing objectionable. It must be taken back the same way it was taken away...little by little. All these little things really add up. Agreed. But this will mean a counter-agenda of some 30+ years. The will to do it has to be stronger than it has been.

I noticed that Macy’s was supporting homosexual pride month so I called them, told them if they choose to support that I also can choose to support other stores that do not. I cancelled my credit card with them as a result. Don’t just let you mouth do the talking but also let your feet to the walking.

Why do the queers get a whole month? I could get real sick of that by about, say, day two.

I did not know this about Macy’s. Macy’s is the only store I shop in because they carry a particular brand of clothing that I have been wearing for years (for older ladies type clothing). Now it looks as though I will have to make do with whatever is left in my closet because I will no longer patronize them. I haven’t been inside a Penney’s in years anyway so that’s a moot point.

I hate what is happening to our society. It’s as though people have no sense of decorum any more. Be gay if that’s your prediliction. You don’t have to push it in everybody’s face. Straight people don’t go around braying publicly about their sexual preferences. Why is it SOP with gays?

Honestly, some days I think I’ve lived too long...........

Yes and I use their advertising to make sure I avoid and not spend at their establishments. I am doing just fine purchase wise without them, all of them.

I agree with what everyone is saying. I think canceling your account with a company which embraces what you find immoral is noble and good.

But I have been following this issue for quite some time, and I have concluded that market forces are more important in America (and the rest of the civilized world) than natural law or the Bible, or traditional values, let alone Christian values.

In 2008, Campbell’s Soup corporation ran an ad in a gay publication, featuring 2 lesbians with their adopted son. The Family Research Council wrote them, appalled, and threatened Campbell’s with a boycott. Their reply? No apologies, they would do what the market deemed best, and indeed they planned on running more gay ads in more gay publications. They said the the FRC was welcome to boycott them, it did not matter to them. ~~~ Recall, even if gays themselves make up only 1-2 % of the population, there is a vast vast army of urban liberals (feminists, those who love promiscuity and recreational drugs and Lady Gaga concerts and spending money without being burdened with marriage or family ) who embrace the gay agenda because it helps to prop up their own so well.

Howdy Ma’am,

Exactly!

What next “Celebrate Perversity” month?

Or worse, those of us who do not support the perverse sexual deviancy will be ostracised.In a way we already are, since we are bombarded with this crap daily.

My list of retailers is growing shorter everyday.

African-Americans should be insulted. Black History Month (28.25 days) is shorter than Gay Pride Month (30 days).
