Hallmark Does A Favor For Gay Couples
August 27, 2008
I saw this today on Here Comes the Blog! Hallmark’s introducing a line of non-gender-specific wedding and engagement cards for guests at gay weddings!
Actually, Hallmark did the favor
for everyone (and there’s a lot of us) who have been invited to the
weddings of gay friends. Instead of spending hours at the card store’s
“Wedding” section going through every card to find one that didn’t have
the image of a man and woman, or say “husband and wife” or some other
man/woman reference, we can find a card with the perfect sentiment now
that Hallmark is putting same-sex wedding cards on their shelves.
According to the Associated Press, Hallmark says the move is “a
response to consumer demand, not any political pressure.” Their goal is
to be as relevant to as many people as they can, which explains their
more recent cards for difficulty getting pregnant, going through rehab,
and coming out. (Not out of rehab, out of the closet.)
