Christian Group One Million Moms Outraged By Men's Wearhouse Ad Featuring Same-Sex Couple

The evangelical Christian group One Million Moms was outraged by a Men's Warehouse commercial that featured two gay grooms in their wedding attire with the slogan, 'Love the way you look on your big day.'

Men’s Wearhouse has recently come under fire from One Million Moms—an arm of the Christian fundamentalist nonprofit American Family Association (AFA)—for featuring a same-sex couple in one of their wedding attire advertisements.

As GLAAD pointed out in 2019:


"For years the main joke about the American Family Association's bombastically overstated One Million Moms (OMM) has involved its name itself. When an organization gives itself a grandiose name like that, the comedy is built-in."
"...it is time to move past the jokes and state the obvious about this organization: it is basically One Meddling Mom with an agenda, and no company should be giving her the credence she so desperately craves."

The latest advert to garner OMM's ire is titled “Love the Way You Look on Your Big Day.” The ad showcases a diverse range of grooms—including one same-sex couple—in a bid to appeal to all customers.

One Million Moms urged supporters to sign a petition against Men’s Wearhouse, accusing the company of “attempting to normalize sin by featuring two gay men getting married” and promoting the LGBTQ+ agenda.

The group argues the advert is pushing away conservative customers and promoting “decadent morals and values” while belittling the sanctity of marriage.

OMM posted on its website:

“Men’s Wearhouse should be ashamed of attempting to normalize sin by featuring two gay men getting married in their 2023 ‘Love the way you look on your big day’ commercial."
"It includes two men dressed in wedding attire, hand in hand after their ceremony, and emphasizes during the ad, ‘And we mean everybody'."

They added:

“Obviously, this ‘Love the way you look’ ad promotes same-sex marriage to please a small percentage of customers while pushing away conservative customers."

Once again lying about their level of support, OMM's assertion ignores the 71% of people in the United States who support same-sex marriage.

That's a majority, not a "small percentage."

As well as the 61% of Americans who believe same-sex marriage is actually good for society.

They then attack clothing choices.

"Not to mention, there is also a female dressed in a groomsman’s suit during this commercial."
“Even though homosexuality is unnatural, this advertisement is pushing the LGBTQ agenda. Men’s Wearhouse is using public airwaves to subject families to decadent morals and values while belittling the sanctity of marriage.”

The organization's call to action was swiftly mocked online.







OMM has made headlines for opposing efforts to recognize LGBTQ+ people's right to exist and better representation in media.

Last year, the organization had a meltdown over an ad by jewelry company Kay Jewelers that showed couples kissing, one of which is two men who have a small child.

In a statement, OMM denounced the ad for its "attempts to normalize sin," calling it "inappropriate on so many levels" and charging it was designed to "desensitize viewers."

Earlier this year, OMM called for a boycott of the animated Disney Jr. show Firebuds because it is "pushing an agenda" by including gay parents for one character.

Firebuds is a show about young first responders and their talking vehicle sidekicks.

But OMM—via its executive director and only visible member Monica Cole—said "Disney Junior is no longer safe for young children" because the studio "has added a same-sex couple to the program."

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
