Related: About this forumGAP releases pro-gay ad, under fire from One Million Moms
The US clothing retailer GAP has released a new advertising campaign in Los Angeles, which features a gay couple embracing under one t-shirt, and has predictably drawn the wrath of the anti-gay group, One Million Moms.
The billboard which features the photo reads: Be Bright, Be One.
One Million Moms, which has previously targeted JCPenny and Urban Outfitters for their pro-gay ads, has been quick to condemn the ad, and has called on its members and supporters to boycott GAP and its subsidiaries, including Old Navy, Banana Republic, Piperlime and Athleta.

As to the "One Million Moms", much ado about nothing. This seems to be the theme lately.
