It’s Father’s Day so we’re taking a second look at JC Penney’s much discussed gay dads ad. The advertisement features real life couple Cooper Smith and Todd Koch and their kids Mason and Claire. It’s nice to see the store following in the footsteps of HGTV, which has nonchalantly been presenting gay couples for many years. Chexydecimal cleverly pointed out that this Hanes ad from 1950 might be interpreted as the precursor to the JC Penney ad!
Happy Father’s Day to all of you lucky enough to BE fathers or HAVE fathers!
