Oops! One Million Moms’ latest boycott just backfired on them in a big, big way.
The drama started last month when American Girl magazine featured the inspiring story of 11-year-old Amaya, who, along with her brothers, were adopted from a foster care program by two dads.
When One Million Moms got wind that the magazine had featured a “non-traditional” family, it launched an attack against both the American Girl Doll and parent company Mattel, accusing them of promoting the gay agenda.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“The magazine… could have chosen another child to write about and remained neutral in the culture war,” the antigay group said in a statement before calling for people to boycott both companies this holiday season.
Unfortunately for the moms, things didn’t go quite as planned.
As a result of their antics, Amaya, her family, and American Girl received an outpouring of positive national media attention, including coverage by local Fox and NBC affiliates, ABC News, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Yahoo, Good Housekeeping, Upworthy, The View, and the list goes on and on. Even Ellen DeGeneres, the current reigning queen of daytime television, joined the brigade when she posted about the family on her show’s Facebook page.

But it doesn’t stop there.
Amaya’s dad co-founded the charity Comfort Cases, a non-profit charity that provides foster kids with basic necessities like clothing, backpacks, toothbrushes and stuffed animals to help make their transitions into new families a little easier.
As a result of all the media attention, monetary donations made to Comfort Cases tripled from last year. On top of that, during annual Holiday Packing Party held over Thanksgiving week, the group was able to put together 500 more care packages than last year, a 70 percent increase. In the end, it distributed more than 10,000 care packages to children in need.
Sorry, One Millions Moms. You lose. Again.

According to the US census, there are roughly 43.5 million mothers between the ages of 15 and 50. So realistically, the opinion of these frigid bible-thumping bints is still a minority….
…that is even assuming there are actually a million members in this weird far-right bunch of frigid fundies.
All in all though, appropriate karma delivered on all those who deserve it!!! 🙂

Ha,ha!

I shared the heck out of this story. Several of my friends who grew up in foster care donated. They remember the garbage bags that they used. OMM = ULTIMATE LOSERS.

“Bint,” another word for my vocabulary. I love Queerty. If 1,000 hormonal moms were a car…Bintley.

“Million”

One million grubs… have absolutely no pull with anyone! One million in this case equals about 40K grubbie grunts!

So far, all of these looney-tunes against LGBTs are losers, as evident by Marriage Equality being the law of the land and LGBT parenting.

Oh look, 47 Moms got upset.
David Edman
That gives me such a warm and fuzzy inside

One Million irrelevant Moms!

The last I checked their Facebook page only about 82,000 members.
1EqualityUSA
82 thousand too many. It sure casts a pall over mother’s day. Mama, don’t your babies grow up to be haters.
Randy Judd
The whole impose your beliefs on the masses is imploding. Equality is logical. How does one explain to indoctrinated religious followers that its a belief and nothing more. Follow whatever guidelines that’s set before one as a personal belief, however it is contingent on believing, valueless otherwise.

Another serious black eye for OMM …right friggin’ on!! 🙂

The republicans fully support One Million Moms… every single CANDIDATE running for the GOP. We need to get out in numbers and prevent the republicans from winning. Period.
Wilson W Wong
one million idiots with a collective IQ of a nit.

They could eke out a living by charging companies for boycotts. Then the company gets an increase in business as a result. lol

One Meddling Mom needs to stop trying to be the TV police. Get a life already!

@Cam: Do they really count as “moms” if they’re only raising cats?
Frankie Trice
These moms need to get laid— that more than often accounts for bitchiness.

Less than 100 moms you mean

This helps convince me that polling is broken. Polling says Nazi sympathizer Trump and delusional Doctor Carson lead the the race for the Republican nomination. I’ve held that polling only gets people with land lines and in no way is representative of the population. This act of kindness by so many people says that the actual majority, the ones with cell phones who don’t answer unknown numbers generally, are decent folk who don’t countenance blind hatred against a group
Glücklich

And they insist to be called one million… When they are really only 82,000 moms!!!! Far cry from 1Million!

The organization was born (or perhaps, spawned) to lose.

But this is exactly how boycotts of anti-gay establishments backfires, too.

This female front for the AFA can’t even gather 50,000 members on Facebook, so I doubt it has close to one million members. Just like anything else on the far right,it is more about perception than reality (Liberty University, how ironic can you get, Freedom Foundation, need I go on).
I remember a group like this back in the seventies. Tried so hard to stem the tide of progress, but was unsuccessful. All these new commercials featuring gay couples must be driving OMM crazy. I can’t wait to see more.

@Wilson W Wong: That is rather insulting, nits are MUCH smarter!

I made a page this evening out of disgust that such a group exists that claims to represent mothers… https://facebook.com/OneMillionRealMoms.
