How cool is this?

JCPenney has issued a new Father’s Day ad campaign that really makes me smile. It features a family with two dads. And it turns out this is an actual family, not just actors portraying a gay couple with children.

JCPenney GLBTQ friendly ad — This is a screen shot of the ad from the article linked above.

Here’s the whole ad.

GayDadsPenney — This is the original ad as provided by ThinkProgress.org

Maybe we as a society have finally turned a corner. I sure hope so. Suddenly Kelly and I want to shop more at JCPenney.
