It's true and it is DISGUSTING!

[familyop]

Ping, LJ!

...action, all! This news about homosexual activism by a certain corporation is about some outright nastiness! It's political ugly stick time!

Copied & forwarded in email. Thanks.

The link clearly says that the ad was printed in a gay newspaper, and was not intended for general mainstream consumer consumption.

What is such a big deal about that?

Tauiloring ads for particular markets is not unusual in advertising. While I personally don't find the ad appealing, or even creative, it's clearly intended for the market that reads the gay themed newspaper, and also intended to be a bit whimsical for them.

If it featured a man and a woman in bed in an ad in Playboy Magazine, I still wouldn't find it appealing or creative, but I wouldn't find it particularly offensive.

What is the big deal?

[HennepinPrisoner]

The ad is disgusting, but I sure hope the AFA would also be outraged if the ad depicted a heterosexual couple.

I don't see this as 'promoting gay sex' as this ad was in a gay magazine in the first place.

I will continue to buy my Crest toothpaste..

[dwills]

silly new yorker!

don't you know that, before any gay men dare reveal their true natures, they should be encouraged to marry our sisters, father a few children and get alected to high political office as republicans?

[Weirdad]

Thanks for the post. There is indeed an agenda on the part of the 2% max "gay" "community" to force the other 98% of us to accept their choice to engage in homosexuality as normal and mainstream. Ads like this support that publication directly, so anyone who helps Proctor and Gamble by doing business with them helps a "gay" magazine to continue to engage in promotion of homosexuality. Giving their lifestyle an appearance of normality promotes general acceptance of that lifestyle, and also makes an environment, "a place," in which they can be comfortable with their choice rather than being confronted with reality that their lifestyle is not accepted generally, and with their own inner sense that something is not right about their choice. This company should be boycotted and I commend the AFA for taking a stand on it.

"What is the big deal?"

Answer: Now a lot of people know why they're such pigs.

"says the New York Daily News.
'Pepsi, Coke, Proctor & Gamble, Western Union and Switzerland-based Nestle are among the companies that bought ads on Al-Manar, Hezbollah's television outlet in Lebanon. Al-Manar is not on the Treasury Department's terrorist watch list, but Hezbollah has been for many years.'" (Howard Kurtz, Washington Post)

Action! Alert: Proctor & Gamble under fire
Conservatives charge company secretly backs same-sex marriage

Why is Wildmon looking though gay magazines in order to find things that will offend him. What exactly does he expect to find? If P&G wants to advertise to a target audience with specific graphics which address that particular group I see nothing wrong with it. This does not warrant a boycott in my opinion.

[familyop]

The answer is in the comment just above your comment.

[HitmanLV]

I'm not a new yorker, sorry.

[HitmanLV]

This is just a silly exericse. It has nothing to do with anything. Anyone who runs with stuff like this does conservatives a disservice.

[Casloy]

Except Wildmon is promoting the boycott on the basis of the ad and not on the basis of them promoting gay marriage. Furthermore, Proctor & Gamble came under fire for promoting the repeal of some anti gay laws in Cincinati, which by the way was also supported by the Catholic Arch Bishop. Proctor & Gamble has taken no stand on Gay marriage. I am not defending anything P&G did either way, but I think boycots like this in which the message is fuzzy and the ads in question taken out of context, only hurt the cause.

[familyop]

"Anyone who runs with stuff like this does conservatives a disservice."

Why am I not surprised that you say that in light of P&G's socialist agenda as shown in the references linked in comment #9--the company having gone so far as to file a brief in favor of so-called "affirmative action," for example?

Homo-activists, like their feminist big sisters, need much bureaucracy (AKA socialism) and need to cause violations of others' rights (e.g., the indoctrinations of children in public education, efforts to pass "hate crimes" laws to imprison critics,...) to fully support their agenda to the extent they desire. You'll see the point on their efforts against fiscal conservatism made more often from now on, and by many.

[BykrBayb]

Since nobody else seems to have noticed, let me point this out.

(1) Boycott three products of P&G — Crest toothpaste, Tide detergent, and Pampers diapers. (Make sure your replacement is not a P&G product. Look on the back of the product.)

The ad was for Downy.

[Dawgreg]

I have replaced Tide, Downey and Cascade with P&C's competitors brands with one problem............I bought Cheer and found that IT is a P&C product......(won't make that mistake again).........I feel so dirty. *~*

[DooDahhhh]

I second your opinion!

[G L Tirebiter]

Wildmon and his cohort are Grade A kooks.

I've no problem what so ever with P&G selling to an affluent market segment who need their products.

I'd only question P&G's judgement if they were to place an ad for Pampers in the Advocate.

[familyop]

I think the AFA's main disagreement with P&G in the announcement above is that the company is advertising in the homosexual publication and supporting it that way. And there are other issues behind the "previous information" link. Behind the boycott registration link, you'll see the following text.

"The company recently wrote to all their Cincinnati employees urging them to support the overturning of a city law which forbids giving special rights to homosexuals. In 1993, the citizens in Cincinnati refused to give special rights to homosexuals by a vote of 62% to 38%. P&G is now working to get that law repealed. The company has given $10,000 to help repeal the law."
