Stephen Colbert defends Campbell’s gay dads commercial

On the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the show’s host defended Campbell’s soup commercial featuring two gay dads after it was attacked by online hate group One Million Moms.

The commercial features an actual family of two gay dads feeding their son Star Wars-themed Campbell’s soup as they impersonate Darth Vader’s famous line “I am your father.” Campbell’s tagline for the commercial is “made for real, real life.”

One Million Moms went on the attack saying, “How confusing for this little boy and for all children viewing this commercial. This gay-inclusive commercial is attempting to desensitize viewers.”

Colbert responded, “One Million Moms is furious that Campbell’s Soup is being associated with gay men. Psssst. Nobody tell them about Andy Warhol.” See the full segment below.
