Comments on: Armani Exchange’s ‘Gay’ Valentine’s Day Ads Too Much For Some Moms http://www.mediaite.com/online/armani-exchanges-gay-valentines-day-ads-too-much-for-some-moms/ Mediaite Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:14:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=2012.06 By: TGB http://www.mediaite.com/online/armani-exchanges-gay-valentines-day-ads-too-much-for-some-moms/#comment-23462 TGB Thu, 11 Feb 2010 06:43:33 +0000 http://www.mediaite.com/?p=83823#comment-23462 I don't think there can be any doubt that they're crying over the gay posters, not the straight couple, and hiding behind "the children" like Mrs Lovejoy (seriously, they're a freaking cliché) is just pathetic. I used the OneMillion(Wailing)Moms site to send an email of support for A|X. I think the posters are gorgeous, and I applaud the company for recognising that couples come in different combinations. it wouldn't have been so long ago that mixing races rather than genders would have resulted in gnashing of teeth and the supposed downfall of society. And yet, look where we are today. Posters like the A|X ones are needed, to help us remember that people are not made of society - society is made of people. And people, in all their combinations, must come first.
