A few years ago, some groups got in a tizzy about a Cheerios commercial that featured a kid with _gasp_ two dads. Since then, I’ve seen more and more of this in commercials with less and less outrage each time. Currently there’s an AT&T commercial featuring two dads dealing with a terrible babysitter. I saw another one for some prescription drug (I’m thinking for allergies?) But at the same time, I can’t think of any commercials that happen to feature a kid having two moms. Are there any out there? ---

Kay Jewelers (or Jared, or something) was running an ad over Christmas and they may have started it up again for Valentine’s Day, where one woman gifts a romantic necklace to another. ---

[There was this Starbucks cup about a year ago.](https://thetakeout.com/pry-this-lesbian-starbucks-cup-from-my-cold-dyke-hands-1820528206) Not a commercial, exactly, but still commercial advertising. ---

I don’t remember a specific one, but Subaru for sure. And even not just recently, though they played coy back in the day. ---

I JUST read a tweet from a female actress who appeared as a lesbian mom\* in a commercial and discussed receiving hate mail for it, but now I can’t for the life of me remember the actor or the product. \*In retrospect, it MAY have just been a lesbian couple in the commercial, but I THINK it was a family with kids ---

The article you linked says the exact opposite of what you said. Not only did it not get pulled, but they made a second one because it got such a _positive_ reaction. The only negative reactions were from trolls in the comments on Reddit and YouTube. ---

I can’t say I’ve seen any lesbian ads, but I am seeing a ton of mixed-race couples in ads. Suck it, bigots! ---
