JC Penney’s new ad for Father’s Day
The text reads:
“First Pals: What makes Dad so cool? He’s the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver—all rolled into one. Or two.” The text at the bottom reads: “Real-life dads, Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children Claire and Mason.”
Thank you JC Penny. I am glad you are showing the rest of this ridiculous world (and advertising industry) that having two dads is NORMAL, and completely fine <3
SOO CUUUUTE

Human beings, right? We’re people. Which means that we deserve each other’s respect.

this is so sweet
I love comics that can be understood by everyone (ie no words).
Agreed!
Short, but great, article in local paper by Tom Harpur (author of books on spiritual and ethical issues) regarding those who use the bible to promote homophobia.
As I have said previously, not being religious myself, I often feel I don’t have the supportive information to make arguments like this, so I let those who can and do know their facts take the stand.
It’s sad to see couples from states such as North Carolina, forced out of their homes to marry; but that they are able to at least find sanctuary in Canada to get married (in Orillia of all places!) is a small saving grace.
Side note: This is why St. Paul’s Church is awesome. My grandparents attend there and though I’m not religious myself, I have attended quite a few services with them. It’s also a very musically based church and our wind ensemble used to perform there. Also in college my World’s Religion teacher, the late Fred Joblin, was a HUGE part of the community there and did a ton of outreach programming through music. He was highly involved in youth groups (always a child at heart himself) and creating a support system for diverse people. He once told our class about his journey as a minister and his decision to perform same-sex marriages - his views were very similar to those expressed in the article.
