Antigay group proposes boycotting Allstate ad starring two gay dads

Antigay group proposes boycotting Allstate ad starring two gay dads

Allstate Insurance decided to acknowledge the existence of gay parents in a recent ad — and the American Family Association is not at all pleased.

In case you aren’t aware of the AFA, they’re a radical right-wing group who have tried (and failed) to launch widespread boycotts against multiple brands who showed any semblance of inclusivity when it comes to LGBTQ people.

According to the AFA:

“The Allstate promotion does not share the reality that this child will grow up without the nurture that only a mother can provide. Nor does Allstate recognize the emotional trauma and questions this child will endure growing up in a home with two men.”

They even claim that one of the dads had his arm “around his male ‘wife’.”

Check out the “offensive” ad below and give Allstate a few more views — if only to let the AFA knows they’re on the wrong side of history.
