The latest advert to trigger right-wing, evangelical Christian protest group One Million Moms comes courtesy of Men’s Wearhouse.
The men’s clothing retailer sells a wide range of suits, some of which are perfect for weddings.
One of its recent adverts highlights its wedding attire. We think it’s worth a share because not only does it feature a collection of handsome and hunky grooms, but it includes a same-sex couple.
“Homosexuality is unnatural”
It certainly puts Men’s Wearhouse on our radar as a suit supplier.
However, the folk at One Million Moms felt differently. They have urged supporters to sign a petition to register their disgust. It said it particularly objected to the advert aiming at 6pm when children might see it.
“Men’s Wearhouse should be ashamed of attempting to normalize sin by featuring two gay men getting married in their 2023 ‘Love the way you look on your big day’ commercial,” the group fumed in a message on its website.
“It includes two men dressed in wedding attire, hand in hand after their ceremony, and emphasizes during the ad, ‘And we mean everybody.’
“Obviously, this ‘Love the way you look’ ad promotes same-sex marriage to please a small percentage of customers while pushing away conservative customers. Not to mention, there is also a female dressed in a groomsman’s suit during this commercial.
“Even though homosexuality is unnatural, this advertisement is pushing the LGBTQ agenda. Men’s Wearhouse is using public airwaves to subject families to decadent morals and values while belittling the sanctity of marriage.”
This is not the first time One Million Moms have had a meltdown over same-sex weddings on screen. At the start of the year it called for a boycott of TurboTax after the tax experts included a fleeting glimpse of two men marrying in a commercial.
A 2016 advert by jeweler Zales, featuring two women marrying, also stirred the Christian group’s ire.

Bitches, please. The kids see your bigotry on display at all times of the day.
GrizzleyMichael
So is being homophobic and old and bitter

One Million Moms is probably just 2 or 3 crazy Christian bitches in Kansas.
G-Man
Which is still 3 too many! LOL

“belittling the sanctity of marriage”? Really?
Why is the divorce rate higher for these knuckle-dragging hypocrites than it is for gays?
Glass houses.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of their beloved icons, whored her way right out of a marriage recently, just as their fake-Jesus Don the Con did TWICE! “Sanctity of Marriage” coming out of their mouths is just another version of “hocus pocus”!

Homosexuality is not unnatural, it exists and therefore it is natural.

The knuckle-dragging 1 Million Moms is barely a handful of hateful idiots. They count 4,500 on Twitter and 1,600 on Instagram.

“Homosexuality is unnatural?” So is meatloaf, but I don’t think that would stop the tens of members of this ridiculous group from enjoying it.

Can we change the name Monday to Funday? You guys are cracking me up!

I’m constantly doing unnatural things so I guess that I am also setting a bad example for the kiddies.
I have several times been injected with the covid-19 vaccine because I’d rather do something unnatural than get sick.
I regularly drive my Tesla. Obviously that’s unnatural. In fact, cars aren’t even mentioned in the Bible.
My house is illuminated with electric lights. I suppose that Million Moms would want me to go back to burning torches because electric lights are unnatural.
I have clothing which is made of unnatural material. Forgive me; I should have said raiment because that word is more Biblical than clothing.
Actually, I enjoy my unnatural life. If that offends Million Moms, that is their problem.
abfab
YES!
DBMC
Well said! Being natural is vastly overrated.
Bob Eckert
Wearing clothing at all is unnatural. So is eating with utensils.
tomch52
Of these one million “Moms” how many have abandoned their lgbt children because they feel that homosexuality is unnatural? I thought your god was all loving? You moms all are pathetic, miserable, bitchy & immensely phony! If there’s a hell as you believe, then enjoy the heat!
dbmcvey
Uh-oh! Now conservatives are going to be shooting up men’s suits.
abfab
LOL…..one more thing to be afraid of!

Meanwhile, thanks 1MM, Men’s Warehouse has just had its advertisement exposed to thousands of potential new customers that might otherwise have not seen this ad. I hope they get the irony.
abfab
I don’t think they now what irony means. I mean, these are really dumb people.
Chris Vogel
All very Christian. Thankfully, in this part of the world, Christians are no longer allowed their usual response to difference (however minor and inconsequential): mass murder. Halelujah!

I’m constantly amazed at the hypocrisy of “the ‘religious’ right”!
The thing that they don’t conceptualize is the fact that Gen Z doesn’t lean in their direction, when it comes to “god” . . . . .
Gen Z cost the GOP (MAGA) the 2020 & 2022 elections; and if they continue to espouse their antiquated beliefs, it will only strengthen the gains of the democrats in 2024.
abfab
That’s a good thing! It’s fun watching them knock themselves out.
Den
“One Million Moms” is a name that is used by Monica Cole, ONE staff member of the hate group American Family Association. They have about 4,500 Twitter followers and seldom get more than a few thousand folks signing their petitions. Quite laughable really.
GrizzleyMichael
Hey Den I checked out their website and you can’t contact them just just like Instagram and Facebook
DBMC
I’ve heard them called “2 Karens and a fax machine.”
draperdude1
Kudos to Men’s Wearhouse! Who is more stylish than gay men? This ad honors all the stylish men and includes the men who design the suits they sell. All those mom’s who are anti-gay need to know gay men design their clothes too!

Is this for real and in this day and age after the supreme court decided once and for all that gay couples have the legal right to get married.? These so called Christians ( Christian in name only obviously ) need to get off their high horses and their heads out of their asses and wake up and learn the real meaning of Christianity, live and let live. As far as I can tell, this doesn’t affect them in the least. If they disagree, that’s their right, they don’t have to buy the product namely mens suits in this case. One of the great things about America is the right to publicly disagree without a knock on the door in the middle of the night. The sad thing on the other hand, groups like this will always be with us and for our sanity we need to basically ignore their temper tantrums and kvetches and deal with them like boils and carbuncles on our butts. BTW: in advertising anything goes as long as it’s legal and when i got up this morning we still had the right to get married legally and if a few get upset well tough SHIT. There’s an old Latin phrase appropriate for this ‘de gustibus non desputandum’, or who can argue with taste. Taste is always subjective. That’s how real life is and the sooner these idiots get the message, the happier they’ll be. ‘Nuff said and valuable time wasted on these amoeba.

They should get back to what matters The ten commandments ! Republicans please note Thou shalt not commit adultery
DBMC
I’ve always found it interesting that 4 of the 10 are about worshiping only this one God and none of them are about protecting children or not (censored) people.
JeffBaker
I saw where someone called OMM “Klanned Karenhood.” Good name for them!
Chaucer
These “One Million Mom” are not Christian. If they every were, they’ve lost it. REAL Christians love, not hate, and focus themselves on THEIR personal salvation. These women seem to have no hope in that arena.
Kangol2
You may not be familiar with the Christian nationalist right-wing in the US but they live to hate and oppress others, and now essentially control one of the two major political parties, the GQP. They also hold a majority on the US Supreme Court, several federal appellate courts, and numerous legislatures across the US. They are very, very dangerous, and seem to miss a good deal of what is actually in the Holy Bible, including the parts that would indict their hateful behavior and actions!
Diplomat
I remember b4 gay marriage was legalized I thought, ‘this is a patriarchal country and gay marriage is going on the ballot’ my thinking was this is going to be one big shit show. Glad we got our rights but it’s been a messy battle and it just surges on. Keep up the good fight gaylings.
DBMC
Republicans are still working on it. Now that they overturned Roe they will be working on Obergefell.
Stefano
They should mind their own business and especially their offspring instead of trying to create scandals and attacking minorities. It would be much more productive and above all more positive.
scotty
again, if you could reason with religious people,
there would be NO religious people.
