If you are waiting for your car to be repaired, grab a magazine to pass the time, and that&rsquo;s what you have to look at?<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the AFA was generous enough to share some advertising ideas: &nbsp;&ldquo;If Hilton had advertised two <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> playing tennis, cards, or having lunch, that would have been reasonable. However, Hilton chose to make a cultural and social statement by purposely marketing the promotion of homosexuality to a large segment of the population who finds the idea of two <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> sleeping together unnatural and offensive.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>To AFA, it&rsquo;s clear that &ldquo;Hilton is defending its decision to promote homosexuality in the magazine and will likely take it further with other forms of mainstream media.&rdquo; The anti-<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> organization even quoted the hotel chain to reinforce its point: &ldquo;Hilton Worldwide&nbsp;is a global company of diverse cultures serving diverse guests&hellip;We are proud to depict and reflect our guest diversity in our advertising.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>To the American Family Association, that is irrefutable proof that Hilton Worldwide is&nbsp;attacking traditional family values.<\/p>\n<p>And because AFA aims&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.afa.net\/who-is-afa\/our-mission\/\">to restrain evil by exposing the works of darkness<\/a>, it asked concerned citizens to sign a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afa.net\/action-alerts\/tell-hilton-hotel-chain-to-market-responsibly\/\">petition to Hilton Worldwide&nbsp;urging them to market responsibly by advertising in a more family friendly manner when marketing through mainstream media<\/a>:<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Dear Hilton Worldwide:<\/p>\n<p>I am offended by your ad in the June issue of Travel and Leisure magazine, featuring two <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> in bed together.<\/p>\n<p>If Hilton is going to advertise in mainstream media, at the very least, it should promote with images that reflect a family friendly atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, I urge you to meet with pro-family leaders who represent my values and concerns over this matter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The petition collected almost 43,000 signatures in less than 48 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The Southern Poverty Law Center lists AFA as a hate-group for its continued use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splcenter.org\/fighting-hate\/intelligence-report\/2010\/18-anti-gay-groups-and-their-propaganda\">demonizing propaganda aimed at homosexuals&nbsp;and other sexual minorities.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bryan Fischer, a conservative radio hot and a writer&nbsp;for&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.afa.net\/the-stand\/\">The Stand<\/a>,&nbsp;AFA&rsquo;s official blog, &nbsp;makes it easier to understand why: he has blamed the holocaust on LGBT people;&nbsp;has called for an&nbsp;&ldquo;underground&nbsp;railroad&rdquo;
