...with the admonishment that "this is real life"?
I don't need some moron on Madison Avenue telling me what's normal or real because that moron wants me to accept the fact that gay parentage is the same as heterosexual parentage.
It's a commercial. Big deal. There are way worse things to get up in arms about than this.

As was I. Well... my mom, and step-dad, and my real dad had visitation rights. But whatever. Given that there are a lot of bad straight parents, where the kid was born out of wedlock, and either 1 or both is non-existent, or worse the kid is aborted, I'd say a gay couple with adopting a child, while not the natural order of things, it beats the alternatives, no?
Have you told your father that he could have been a woman and it wouldn't have made a lick of difference to you? That his influence as a man in your life from the moment you came home from the hospital to the moment you flew the coop meant nothing?
Or vice versa your mother?
I'm sure he'd be thrilled to know this.
They're both dead, so I can't tell them anything. They also both had emotional problems, and I frequently wished they'd divorce. If they had, I would have chosen to live with my father, hands down. His problems weren't nearly as severe as my mother's.
My mother was a christian fundie and had pretty weird views about a lot of things. I'm sure you're right, she would have been mightily outraged at the thought that a) I preferred my dad, in spite of his physical violence and agnosticism and/or b) that I think most gay people, like most straight people, are OK human beings.
My mother's emotional problems were not caused by her religion, but she sure used her religion to abuse other people, both emotionally and physically.
You'll just have to excuse my conclusion that good parenting has little or nothing to do with parental genitalia.
No, this is your view that you're projecting onto everyone else. I'm a straight guy, and the commercial seems thoroughly benign to me even though I don't eat Campbells.
The fact is a solid majority in the U.S. now support full marriage equality for same-sex couples, so by definition this is now the 'normal' attitude, and there's nothing you can do.
You're one of the far left people around here so it figures you support perversion. The fact is, a solid majority in the US does NOT support homosexual marriage.

What does that have to do with who raised you? Also being raised by a married mother and father doesn't mean it is going to be a healthy home to be raised in.
Ummm, no. 40 of 50 states did not allow gay marriage. Even here in liberal as hell California, gay marriage was shot down when put to a vote not too long ago. The Supreme Court overstepped their bounds and forced gay marriage on the country.
