Just ahead of Valentine’s day, the hallmark of ritualized card-giving, Hallmark, has released a whole slew of adorable ads featuring real couples asked to describe their love without using the word “love” itself.
Mixed into the fold is one especially cuddly spot featuring lesbian couple Eugenia and Corinna, yet another show of support from the card makers. Also, “warm fuzzies eating chocolate-chip cookies all the time” is basically our new life goal. A girl’s gotta dream.
Take a look, and if you’re single, prepare to either choke up or gag:

The ad is a nice step in a pattern of support that Hallmark has been showing the gays. Last year, they came out with a lesbian Mother’s Day card just in time for — you guessed it — Mother’s Day, and followed it up with a gay Father’s Day card in June.

Hallmark is using a lesbian couple in advertising? Then it must be true, the gays have won!

I may have misunderstood the ad, but it seems to me CVS Drug Stores have been running an ad featuring two lesbians getting married. Seems more and more companies are now catering to Gays which is a good thing. Too bad some of the states couldn’t follow their lead.

Nice, but of course we won’t really have arrived until the Hallmark Channel makes one of their sappy Christmas movies all about a gay couple.

Great that Hallmark has discovered that gays are a market they can exploit. And an interracial lesbian couple; how progressive.

I don’t get the lesbian Mother’s/gay Father’s Day card thing. If you have two mothers, buy 2 Mother’s Day cards; two fathers, 2 Father’s Day cards. Seems pretty simple.
