The "traditional marriage" crowd will fire up their Exactly! They COULD, and general prudence suggests they SHOULD remain absolutely neutral, no one is demanding they take a stand, prevailing winds or not they will still take flak for doing anything but continuing as they were. Instead companies are actually promoting one side over the other. It's just a bit heart warming is all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k17dw16fuZg

I shop at Macy's anyway, but because of that good press I made the conscious decision to go there first.

Were they the ones who basically had some artists print out all the hate mail and use them to make a paper statue that said "Love" or something like that in a follow-up commercial?

I don't see it is all that different from politicians trying to stir up hatred of refugees by talking about Islam's treatment of LGBT people. Now that it's accepted and people have forgotten what happened a decade ago, they're allowed to co-opt it and pretend that it was their opinion all along. Forget anything that happened up until about 3-4 years ago, lol, that's ancient history!

Nah they have different goals, but both are opportunistically adopting gay rights now that it has become laudable by important market shares to do so, even if they had nothing to do with the growth of these movement and themselves contribute to marginalization and subjugation of other groups through their activities and lobbying. Commercials bother me less than the politicians do, thought.

I just really can't find it in me to care that the people normalizing my identity through major media outlets may not be 100% altruistic saints doing it. Like, that's cool if that's something that you feel is comparable to people stirring up anti-refugee sentiment under a veneer of 'they hate gays over there' (who's even doing that, like yea I know they do the dumb 'IRAN KILLS GAYS AND OBAMA MAKES A DEAL WITH THEM' poo poo) but I'm just super happy that for the literal first time in my life it actually is profitable to show a person like me on tv as something other than a 'ha ha lookit this big flaming human being' joke.
