jhameiaHere's a New Year's meme!
Post the first article with really neat news you read in the new year! It doesn't have to be written in 2009, it can be a few days old, like this one from One News Now about a "pro-family" group getting its knickers in a twist over Campbell Soups catching teh Gay, and Campbell's awesome response.
The American Family Association (AFA) says Christian consumers need to know that the Campbell Soup Company embraces the homosexual agenda.
Campbell Soup bought two 2-page ads in the December and January issues of The Advocate, the nation's largest homosexual magazine. The ads promote their Swanson line of broth, and one of the ads highlights the lives of two lesbians, who are portrayed as being married, along with "their" son. Other ads feature chefs from New York City.
Randy Sharp, AFA's director of special projects, says concerned consumers should contact company officials and ask them to stop endorsing homosexuality.
"When you specifically target a homosexual magazine, then your company is basically endorsing these activities; you're endorsing the lifestyle," claims Sharp. "And in one ad, which...clearly shows two lesbians who say they are married, who say they have a son together, ...the Campbell Soup Company is saying 'we approve of homosexual marriage.' There is no question whatsoever of what the intentions of the company are."
In an Action Alert to its supporters, AFA accuses Campbell of normalizing same-sex families. "Not only did the ads cost Campbell's a chunk of money, but they also sent a message that homosexual parents constitute a family and are worthy of support," it stated.
Anthony Sanzio, a Campbell Soup Company spokesperson, tells OneNewsNow that the company reaches out to all segments of society.
"We support all types of families, regardless of how they're defined, [and have done so] for more than 100 years," Sanzio offers. "We advertise in a variety of different media outlets that appeal to a broad spectrum of society. That's what we're doing here, and that's what we'll continue to do."
Sanzio says to his knowledge, there has been no negative reaction regarding the ads in The Advocate.

Date: 2009-01-02 02:40 pm (UTC)I'm not asking to take over the world. I'm not asking to brainwash everyone on the planet into being a homo (because I really don't think you can do that, or maybe you can, given that there are actually sick-minded people who brainwash gay people into thinking their straight). I am really posing no threat at all to society.
Blargh!
