Armani Exchange Same-Sex Ads For Valentine's Day
Armani Exchange's "Share the Love" Valentine's Day campaign ad features same-sex couples, much to the disgust of parents.
The American Family Association's OneMillionMoms.com condemns this "filthy" ad for a lengthy reason:
"Malls, where teens hang out, have retailers whose window displays poison our children with 10-foot posters that are nothing but soft p*rn. In particular, Armani Exchange has recently displayed Valentine's posters with partially dressed "couples" holding one another. These couples consist of two men, a man and woman, and two women. The women are scantily dressed while it is questionable if the men have any clothes on at all. Two of these models are used a couple of times to represent bis*xuals. If it could get any worse the text written is "SHARE THE LOVE." (An asterisk '*' is used to ensure our emails get through to those who have signed up for our alerts. Otherwise specific words referenced would be blocked by some Internet filters.)
"Not every local mall has an Armani Exchange, but we need to take a stand since A|X is one of the fashion leaders and this is becoming a popular trend. You may view these on their website at www.armaniexchange.com. WARNING! Pictures are offensive."
Does the organization condemns the ad for its overt sexuality? Or because it's all "filthy" bisexuality?
Because if it only condemns the Armani Exchange ads for representing gays and lesbians on Valentine's Day, WARNING! the organization totally denies recognition for bisexuals and same-sex couples.
