Nordstrom demonstrates why they have a 100 percent approval rating from the Human Rights Campaign Buyers Guide. The upscale fashion retailer has created a dazzlingly beautiful holiday ad titled The Homecoming that features a man coming home with a suitcase and a Nordstrom shopping bag to be reunited his partner and their gorgeous dog. Queerty has learned that the two handsome men featured in the video are a couple in real-life and are engaged to be married soon so Nordstrom gets extra props from us for not simply hiring two photogenic actors.
Naturally, there are haters. Back2Stonewall reports that right-wing site American Thinker expressed outrage that Hulu dared broadcast the ad during classic programming, such as The Rifleman and Dennis the Menace, that don’t include a “large proportion of Haight-Ashbury and Greenwich Village types” viewers and when innocent people and children might see the horror of two grown people in love exchanging a warm greeting.

I’m for anything that pisses off stupid “think of the children” bigots. It’s not your kids that need to be sat down and talked to… for the most part, they get it. Someone needs to sit One Million Moms and Family Research Council on their lap and explain to them why they feel all tingly down there when they see two men or two women kissing.

Unfortunately and at this time of year, they’re going to ‘come out’ en masse. My kudos and gratitude to Nordstrom however, for ‘doing the right thing’. Okay, “Haight-Ashbury”/”Greenwich Village types”? Proving that “American Thinker” is indeed ‘stuck’ in a timewarp when the Hatred, Violence and Intolerance was allowed to run rampant, and was the ‘norm’.
Not so anymore. They only thing they fear for their children is that they will grow up with ‘ideas of their own’ and a much better picture of equality and love. That would totally be unwelcomed as it might just begin to break the chains and the cycle of generation after generation and antiquated ideas and theologies.
Again, To Nordstrom: THANK YOU SO MUCH! The commercial is beautiful.
Glücklich
@enlightenone:
I agree. I can never find anything I want at my local Nordstrom (SF Centre), and the men’s area is dim and depressing.
