JC Penney Launches Father's Day Ad Featuring Gay Dads And Their Kids [View all]

http://joemygod.blogspot.com/2012/05/jcpenney-launches-fathers-day-ad.html

The text on the upper right reads: "First Pals: What makes Dad so cool? He's the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver--all rolled into one. Or two." The text at the bottom right reads: "Real-life dads, Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children Claire and Mason." Fantastic. And I'm totally going to JC Penney this weekend. I don't know what I need, but I'll figure that out when I get there. (Tipped by JMG reader Jim)
