Conservative Christians decry Parents magazine over gay couple on cover

A conservative Christian group has branded an American parenting magazine as “pro-homosexual,” after it featured a gay couple on its front cover.

US publication Parents posted a photo of its latest front cover on Twitter on January 4, featuring a same-sex couple for the first time since it was established in 1926.

It shows fitness motivational speaker Shaun T and his husband Scott Blokker with their twins.

Parents puts same-sex couple on front cover for first time

“Fitness pro @ShaunT and his adorable family star on our February cover, our first-ever to feature same-sex parents. ❤️❤️❤️,” Parents wrote on Twitter.

The magazine included a link to an article about the couple’s “incredible surrogacy story.”

They had movie reviews based on which ones were appropriate for families. Those reviews told me which movies I "wanted" to see.

Didn't they also have age based general knowledge quizzes? I remember doing those quizzes with my mom.
