Tylenol has produced a series of video advertisements called “For What Matters Most,” which focuses on American families. One of them features a modern, blended family that includes a lesbian couple with two sons. The recorded message is based upon to the iconic Norman Rockwell painting Freedom From Want.
Abigail Rockwell, the iconic illustrator’s granddaughter, opens the commercial with this wonderful statement:
Norman Rockwell painted America’s story for sixty-plus years. Our definition of family is now expanding and blossoming, so it’s not this rigid, fixed picture of what the family is.

Seems like a loving, intelligent, caring family to me. Beats the hell out of my heterosexual, alcoholic, abusive, dysfunctional family, but all the xtians see is LESBIAN!
