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!

To me the saddest thing is that gist of the little blurb about this couple is they have a long standing Christmas tradition that they are sharing as a family. That doesn't exactly point to the deterioration of home and harth, does it? I don't understand why this matters so much to some people. If it's not hurting you then why are you trying so hard to hurt them? I know, I know, I'm preaching to the choir. But them more I try to understand the more baffled I become. It makes me want to cry.

Absolutely, and especially frustrating to me when someone wants to turn this post into "Catholic bashing"....whatever, dude.

I'm tired of all the persecution, all of it.

"Bashing" is a hate crime, based on ignorance, like what these people are doing to gays. Standing up against an agressor, to defend your right, or the rights of others, to be happy in their own way, in defence of a group that have done nothing to deserve agression, is not bashing. It's our moral obligation. If the Catholic Church or anyone else wants to dish hate they have to expect the return. Defence of love in return for hate. Whose the villan here?
