Every time I think I have a decent grasp on the pulse of the American public, I learn that Focus on the Family has come up with something else to be pissed about:
Johnson & Johnson will be advertising its brand, Tylenol PM, in the July 19 issue of The Advocate, a leading gay magazine.
The ad shows two shirtless men in bed side by side. The text over one reads: “His backache is keeping him up.” Over the other: “His boyfriend’s backache is keeping him up.”
Johnson & Johnson has been advertising in gay media since 1996. Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute, said people need to take notice.
“A lot of corporate America has bought into the idea that they can secretly promote homosexuality without their consumers noticing out there,” he said.
Mike Haley, director of the gender issues department at Focus on the Family, said the gay and lesbian community has a lot of expendable income, so they are targeting big corporations who are caving to their pressure.
“I think it’s a critical issue,” he said, “because it’s one more way that the issue of homosexuality is being normalized and sent out as though it’s not harmful
