Same Love


Love comes in all forms.

I love this ad. The happiness on their faces is contagious. People will sign up for Target’s wedding registry for a piece of that glee.

Target appeals to a mass market across the country, but this campaign reaches further. This image tugs at the heartstrings of people who support homosexual rights in America. Who can’t believe this love is real after seeing the smiles on their faces?

The latest poll in America stated that still 44% of people oppose gay marriage, even though over a dozen states now legally support it. There are more than half a million homosexual couples in the country, and many of them still cannot get equality in many facets of their lives.

In the hit song ‘Same Love’, Macklemore takes a stand for gay rights and marriage equality. He declares, “ … a certificate on paper isn’t going to solve it all, but it’s a damn good place to start.

The image above makes me smile every time I look at it. If I ever decide to get married, I will force my future husband to spend hours perusing Target’s vast collection of wedding gifts. Target has my business because of where they stand in American politics and, more importantly, human rights.

Support love in all its forms.
