I wonder if this ad is more popular among NBA fans or something. They just played it during the final. The ad that celebrates the girl who will grow up without a father.

In reality, Hallmark or most other companies today could care less about people being gay or not, they simply want more people to buy its products, that is GREED, pure and simple, they are quite content to take money from ANYONE, and for ANY reason.

It is a commercial ad for Coka Cola. NOT any bank at all.

Yep, and it’s supposed to tug at our heartstrings and all.
DH and I saw it for the first time last night. Ugh.

Coke is actually pretty sneaky in this ad, if a christian asks about it, they can say, Oh, its a dad, and his brother with one of their kids, if a LGBT activist asks about it, they can say, Oh, its a gay couple, and the adopted child they are raising…they are essentially trying to cater to EVERYONE, and avoid the issue altogether.
The remind me of the money changers in the temple, they dont care who or what they are peddling, they are just interested in the $$$, and as much as they can get, and will go to any length to get it.
I have been a HUGE coke consumer for many years now, but how they did this ad really turned me off, It will likely influence where I spend my money.

I believe Hallmark is a closely-held non-publicly traded company, but in general, companies have a fiduciary duty to their stockholders to be successful, to get people to buy their products, to increase profits, dividends, and raise the value of their stock. Not to mention keeping their employees employed. If I were Hallmark management, and took note of what percent of formerly paper-based greetings were being replaced by email and social media, I would have a duty to expand my market to make up for such changes.

So, at which point does this turn into greed?
Somehow, I very much doubt God will agree companies or industries are exempt from his laws.

I guess I would want to be able to pull my $ from wells fargo or stop purchasing products that don’t support LGBT, is there anything out there to provide us that information. I work for a large insurance/financial company who has just started promoting support for LGBT employees and i would have to say it probably is due to not wanting any lawsuits as i’m sure many companies are also afraid of. What can we do about this? I’m thinking and praying.

Bold: Pretty much this I believe. Companies know that lawsuits, due to corruption or employee abuse, is just outright bad for the company’s reputation and internal work atmosphere. A company’s"Out & Proud" section really is just a support group disguised as “we’re-inclusive-and-not-backwards” that’s just covering a potential lawsuit from such a demographic. In ironic fashion, it’s similar to tucking your shirt in before the Head Master catches you and writes you up for an afternoon detention.

Going to watch some G-rated entertainment, eh? Of the male oriented variety? :tsktsk:
For your penance be indoctrinated for a minute about the “correctness” of LGBT adoptions (in this case L).
Or are they just nuns in today’s more up to date non-religious looking habits? In which case mea culpa. 
Even in THAT case it’s confusing. Though the confusion is probably as intentional as the political indoctrination you just got.I banked with Wells Fargo for about 17 years. I ended my account with them years ago when they caved into a homosexual activist group that objected to WFs previous financial support of the Boy Scouts.
The Bank made a big show of pulling its money out and supporting the group (which IMO sounded like radicals opposed to the ideals of the Boy Scouts at best … and perhaps chicken hawks (a la NAMBLA?) at worst).
The virtues of love, care, learning, and going out of ones way to be so generous as to adopt a child – are all a lesser priority to the makers of this propaganda piece than promoting the lifestyle du jour to the more conservative public. IMO.
Some of them men who just want to see their ballgame highlights.
