Christmas comes early with two more adorable gay<\/a>-inclusive ads<\/b><\/p>\n

\"gay-dads\"<\/p>\n

It’s a weird way to measure civil rights, but there’s something undeniably lovely about the simplicity of including some gay<\/a> dads in an ad.<\/p>\n

Two British companies managed to squeeze queer parents into TV commercials: the first was Sainsbury, which features all different kinds of diverse families, including two dads, two moms, and an interracial family. It’s stop-motion, features James Corden singing, and is surprisingly pretty.<\/p>\n

A statement from the company read<\/a>, “We wanted to reflect a modern Britain and a diverse Britain. That’s what we feel like we’ve done throughout the whole piece of work. We’ve made sure we’ve got a true reflection of what we see out there every day.”<\/p>\n

And now, a new ad from Thomas Cook features two more gay<\/a> dads and their bundle of kids. There’s also a very fleeting — like, less than a second — shot of two shadowy figures kissing, and they sure do look like men<\/a>. That seems to have been confirmed by the company, since according to their marketing director: “I think marketers can always do more to represent the needs of the consumer and that’s what we’ve tried to do with the gay<\/a> kiss. It comes down to the needs of our customers and addressing a modern population.”<\/p>\n

Well, hooray for all that. Now go out and kiss someone for Christmas!<\/p>\n
