[Screencaps of the Google logo for Valentines day-1: the google logo in a cute red heart design. 2: six cartoon couples holding hands. An alien and a spaceman, a princess and a frog, a cat and a dog, two people of different ethnicities, two men, and a carton of milk and a cookie.]
Is one of those couples supposed to be a hetero couple? Cause I looked at that and thought “Hey, look! No hetero!” and was really happy about it. But then I wasn’t sure about the bottom left one. And then I kinda didn’t care and wanted to believe there was no hetero.
Look at these images closely. If you really scrutinize the one on the left, you’ll see the cake topper of two grooms that’s magnified on the right. Not too visible, right?
Apparently the grooms are enough to get a small conservative group outraged with Macy’s, who sent this ad to homes last week to encourage people to join Macy’s gift registry.
An antigay group called One Million Moms, somehow related to the American Family Association, attacked Macy’s for “inappropriate marketing” and “offending conservative customers.” Well, well, well. A good portion of their statement can be found at the link above.
Macy’s is a known supporter of LGBT causes, both through its generally pro-equality advertising and its consistently high ratings with HRC. If this group thinks it can take a corporate giant down for one ad, it’s sadly mistaken. Tough luck.

Watch a man propose to his boyfriend via flash mob. I admit, I teared up.
Stephen Colbert breaks character to deliver an It Gets Better message to LGBT youth.
