Be Proud of Your Love: Here’s a ‘Umm, Umm Good’ to Campbell Soup; Sign the Petition to Obama Against Warren
Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008I’ve got two items I can’t wait to tell you about today:
1) Campbell Soup Stands Up for Equality – Thanks to Campbell Soup for standing firm (at least so far, let’s not forget how Ford Motor Company caved to far right pressure). Campbell has placed an ad in The Advocate, a very popular gay magazine, mind you, for one of their products, Swanson’s Broth, showing a very ‘every day’, normal looking family sharing a moment together. The family includes a lesbian couple (one of whom is a chef) and their son. Campbell has normally been known as a conservative marketer but it appears they are becoming more inclusive in their marketing; they even claim they will be placing more ads in the Advocate.
Why am I taking time to point the Campbell Soup ad out to you? There are many reasons I could point out, for the sake of brevity I’ll try and state what I think are three of the most important ones.
