Support Campbell's Soup and give the finger to gay-bashing homophobes

[rowangolightly]

Found this over at gamera_spinning's and whole-heartedly agree with him.

Short version: Campbell's bought two two-page advertisements in the December and January issues of The Advocate, which features a lesbian couple and their son, and apparently the Catholic Church thinks this is going to destroy the fabric of civilization and the folks at catholic.com are apparently asking folks to call Campbell's to protest their "supporting the homosexual agenda".


Here's the nonsense over at Catholic Forums, wanting folk to contact the CEO of Campbell's to pressure him to take the ads down. I don't think so.

You can see the oh-so-horrific ads here:

Already sent off my email to this man in support of his advertising choices!

There's a reason I'm no longer Catholic. While there are some things I love about the religion (well one...Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve), the hypocrisy and hellfire and brimstone was just too much. But remember, not all xtians are bigoted, prejudiced, homophobic crazies. Some of us are actually good people. Well, depending on how you define "good."

Indeed. My husband was raised (thankfully in a rather open-minded diosces) Catholic, and while he's explored many other traditions just as I always have, still refers to himself as such, mostly because that's the reflexive context he comes from, when dealing with core concepts. (Bearing in mind that the core concepts are nearly the same ones shared in the best of most traditions, and don't involve any of the hateful blather layered on over the millenia of human interpretation.) But I assure you, he's only bad in the best of ways. ;-)
