CNN notes increase in LGBT-inclusive advertising
In a feature segment on Friday, CNN reported on the recent surge of LGBT-inclusive advertising, taking special note of JC Penney’s Father’s Day ad featuring a Dallas-based gay couple and their two children. The ad is the latest in a string of LGBT-inclusive ads from the retail giant, which also featured gay moms in its Mother’s Day catalogue earlier this year, and which also drew the ire of anti-gay hate groups like the so-called ‘One Million Moms’ after it chose openly gay talk show host Ellen DeGeneres as the company’s new spokesperson.
