LGBT in Advertising

Good Morning Everyone!

Perhaps it’s just me, but I feel that there’s been a sudden rise in the number of outright LGBT flavored commercials or ones where LGBT is included along with straight people. You will recall from 27 April of this year the commercial for Wells Fargo Bank involving the Lesbian couple nervously learning sign language in anticipation of the older girl they are adopting and I’ve noticed a few new ones cropping up. Mayyybe they’ve been around longer than I imagine they have, but I only noticed them this weekend because of where the National focus has been. I’m glad companies are showing their support of us. So here’s the Tylenol commercial I’ve noticed.

On the radio I heard a new AT&T commercial about what constitutes a family under their Family Plan for their mobile phones.

So are there any I’m missing? Have you seen something I’ve not? Please share!!

Franklin Graham pulls bank accounts from Wells Fargo over LGBT ad campaign

I say good riddance to bad rubbish. I’m sure Wells Fargo isn’t going to go under because Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is no longer using them as a bank. I think this ad campaign is a beautiful one. I’m sure the Grahams don’t like the promotion of adoption, either.

Franklin Graham took to Facebook to send his followers a message last week — stop doing business with companies that support the gay community.

For his part, Graham is pulling all bank accounts for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association out of Wells Fargo.

“This is one way we as Christians can speak out — we have the power of choice,” Graham wrote on his Facebook page. “Let’s just stop doing business with those who promote sin and stand against Almighty God’s laws and His standards. Maybe if enough of us do this, it will get their attention. Share this if you agree.”
