Christian, conservative pressure group One Million Moms usually campaigns against commercials or cartoons that feature LGBTQ+ representation. However, its latest target is the maker of clothes for babies and toddlers.
Carter’s is a respected US brand. What’s the crime it’s committed in the eyes of 1MM? It now sells a range of Pride-theme clothing for babies and kids of LGBTQ+ parents.
We think the collection is quite adorable. It includes T-shirts with slogans such as ‘I love my dads’ and onesies with the words ‘Proud of my Family’. Check out some of the items below.
Unfortunately—predictably—One Million Moms failed to be charmed.
“Carter’s, Inc., the national children’s clothing brand, is now selling gay pride clothing and accessories for infants and toddlers, furtively advocating for the LGBTQ lifestyle,” it said in a statement online.
“Carter’s rainbow themed T-shirts and pajamas for toddlers and onesies for babies are part of its gay pride marketing campaign,” it continued, before urging followers to sign a petition to register their disgust.
“Please sign our petition and let Carter’s know their decision to engage in corporate promotion and financial support of homosexuality is a bad idea, especially considering the number of mothers currently buying spring and Easter clothes.”
The accompanying petition blasts Carter’s for “exploiting … young customers, making them live billboards for gay pride.”
One Million Moms is an offshoot of the anti-LGBTQ hate group American Family Association. Its campaigns rarely prompt change. If anything, they probably do more to alert LGBTQ+ consumers to brands that are supporting them.

They could save their outrage for something more important and just not buy any products they don’t want.

Watch sales go thru the roof with all of this amazing advertising. I think these are adorable! Must buy multiples. Thanks, MOMS! We love you, too!

Why can’t these people of hate figure it out, if you don’t want one DON’T BUY ONE, if you don’t want a same sex marriage, DON’T HAVE ONE. But being the haters they are they continue to push their hate on everyone else. F*****g bigots.

At the price shown, we should all buy one or two pieces just to ensure sales skyrocket and shut down 1MM. I applaud Carter’s for the offering, but honestly, they are most likely taking a calculated gamble that there will be more rainbow sales than possible loss of hetero customers. I can’t buy a pair of socks for $6, so I’ll support Carter’s with a purchase and donate them to the local help center.

OMM is NOT a “Christian, conservative” group.
Their judgmental, hateful attacks on the LGBTQ+ community are hardly “Christian,” and their extremist beliefs are right-wing, not “conservative.”
Call them what they are: a fanatical, right-wing gang of Christ-ist zealots.

Can we just stick to ”empty headed shitheads who need to find something else to do that is half way productive?”

So this is the deal people…………….this Pride…….we not only wipe these cute little onesies in the faces of these freeks, but the dirty diapers that go with, too. The diapers will have rainbows on them. If these people still think they can use us vor votes, FUKK THEM!
I love the babies! Buy them the best! GAY FOREVER!

Why don’t these people protect children from something that really is a threat, like mass shootings.
