Video campaign in Germany, France, Italy, South Korea, Turkey and Japan is altered by company whose boss is openly gay

Apple has removed an image of a same-sex couple with their two babies from its Mother’s Day advertising in France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Turkey and Japan.

The video advert, which uses photographs pulled from social media that have been “shot on iPhone”, has been shown in the run-up to Mother’s Day in each country.

The version of the 30-second ad that played in the US, Australian, Canadian and Mexico included an image of prodigious Instagram users Melanie and Vanessa Roy from Waxhaw, North Carolina, with their two children, Jax Izzo and Ero Kix, lying on a bed and smiling at the camera with the caption “by Vanessa R”.

You have to be amazed at how gutless the liberal side of corporate America is. They get up on their soap box about North Carolina’s law that makes men use the men’s restroom, yet they pussyfoot around and self-edit in any country where homosexuality is viewed as criminal. If they had any guts, they would leave North Carolina alone and push their agenda in these other countries if they feel the need to do so.

You might want to re-think that. The European countries were probably chosen so as not to offend the muzzie population.

actually really surprises me about Germany and France. Perhaps they’re concerned about the recent migrants.

Those children are being used as a social science experiment. That is criminal, as are the names the freak lesbos gave them.

Yeah looks like ‘God has blessed’ him with being gay, Cook, doesn’t think it so great a blessing whenever the bottom line might be compromised.

A bit late. Mother’s Day was May 8.

In any case, I suppose this couple wasn’t part of the ad:
