More preaching to the choir: go sign this petition.
http://www.change.org/petitions/jc-penney-do-not-remove-the-lesbian-couple-from-the-may-catalog-or-any-other-ads

A daughter of two moms has started a petition asking JC Penny to resist pressure to pull its Mother's Day ad, an advertisement that features two moms. To be honest, the ad is a bit dorky but as someone pointed out it's not making A Big Deal out of anything - it's a family and both women appear to be wearing wedding rings.

ok, having listened to it, i can just say it's INCREDIBLY TRIPPY hearing someone else's remix of one of our songs.
weird.

i did say one tentacle didn't know what the other was doing...
(sara and dylan have been basically in charge of all the kickstarter stuff, while chuck has been concentrating more on BCG-related business...)

oddly, it didn't even strike me as a lesbian couple. I thought it was daughter, mom, and grandmother. Either way, getting upset about it is crazy.

(meaning getting upset about it being a same sex couple is crazy, IMO - not getting upset about people badgering companies for showing a loving family is crazy)
