JC Penny has recently created the ad seen above for Mother’s Day to be viewed in their May catalog, which features two women posing as a couple with a daughter. The company is now under attack by the anti-gay group One Million Moms, who want JC Penny to pull the ad and are threatening a boycott if the ad is not pulled.
This is the same group that came after the company back in February for selecting Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson. In that incident, JC Penny stuck by their decision and didn’t give into the attacks.
Please help spread the word about this. A petition was started to keep the ad. You can view it here.
Oh, and by the way, the woman who started the petition was raised by a lesbian couple and grew up into a well adjusted person who currently has a husband and child of her own. Proof that being raised by LGBTQ parents doesn’t mess a child up or turn them gay and that One Million Moms is full of shit.

Eating disorders lie. They deceive us into believing that whatever and however much we eat is wrong. They insist that whatever we weigh is shameful, and that whatever size or shape we may be is never good enough. When it comes to recovery, however, the most pernicious lie in ED’s arsenal has nothing directly to do with eating. Rather it’s the notion that we “need” to be left alone.
In fact, it’s not the person but the illness that depends on isolation. Starving, bingeing and purging are secretive and solitary behaviors that feed on shame… Shame makes sure that we feel alone in the world and stranded. As a result, isolation becomes the hollow core around which an eating disorder spirals.

Jennifer Lawrence Makes Great First Impressions
oh my gods she is so perfect xD
I want to go drinking with her *so badly.* Not, like, ‘Hollywood clubbing,’ but ‘go to a classy bar and just watch the employees faces get more and more appalled as we get increasingly drunk and our conversations get louder and more inappropriate.’

Somebody left this poor baby in their car while they shopped today. Contrary to popular belief, its a law in new jersey that you can’t leave any animal unattended in a car, even if the windows are open, even if it isn’t summer.
It was about 65 out. The window glass held in that heat. This dog was suffering from heat stroke after an hour in the car. Another hour, he would have been dead.
So please. Don’t take your pets shopping with you unless you plan on taking them inside the store. Because ita horribly detrimental to them.
