    • Group targets Urban Outfitters for girl/girl kiss

      One Million Moms, the group that tried to get JC Penney to cancel their new partnership with Ellen DeGeneres, is now launching a campaign against Urban Outfitters because of a page in the store’s April catalog that pictured two women kissing.

      The group is urging its members (there are far fewer than a million, by the way) to unsubscribe from the Urban catalog and email the brand demanding that it release an apology. It’s especially angry that the ad could be “aimed at teenagers.”

      This is ironic because just last month, LGBT activists reprimanded Urban Outfitters for selling a transphobic greeting card on its UK website, the link to which you’ll find in the article above.

      Urban could be trying to redeem itself with this picture, or it could just be opening its mind a little - who knows? But if one thing’s for sure, it’s that One Million Moms is highly unlikely to succeed with this. Tough luck.
