It is probably best to start out with the positives in this story, the most obvious being there is no conceivable way any of this is going to work, the ad will warm more hearts than anger. But it hurts those of us who have been surrounded by LGBTQ friends for 25 years to know that they’ll hear of this and wonder whether if it’ll ever all go away.
Some “moms against sin” want Hilton Hotels to withdraw an ad showing two dads coming into the hotel with their son:
Hilton’s current commercial “Make an Entrance with the Hilton App” attempts to normalize sin by featuring two men together with a young boy. The two dads are shown walking through the hotel lobby and to their room while one dad carries the sleeping toddler.
This ad is inappropriate on so many levels and is clearly attempting to desensitize viewers. Hilton should avoid aiming to please a small percentage of customers while pushing away conservative customers.
Promoting same sex relationships has nothing to do with marketing their company. Yet Hilton wants to make it clear where they stand on this controversial topic, instead of remaining neutral in the culture war.
One Million Moms continues to stand up for biblical truth, which is very clear in Romans 1:26-27 about this particular type of sexual perversion.
One Million Moms must remain diligent. Scripture says multiple times that homosexuality is wrong, and God will not tolerate this sinful nature…
…Hilton attempting to redefine the family crosses a line Hilton should have never crossed. There is concern about the way this advertisement is pushing the LGBTQ agenda, but an even greater concern is that the commercial is airing when children are likely to be watching television.
To make matters worse, this advertisement has aired during family viewing time such as football games and primetime.
We on this staff could spend all day citing things wrong with this ad but we’ll start with this. One, it’s from Romans, meaning written by regular people and not citing or quoting Jesus. If Jesus was concerned about such things – which were certainly happening all around him, we suspect he’d have said something.
Second: We have determined that we will quote Jesus because that is who Christians follow: John .15:[12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. [17] These things I command you, that ye love one another.
We suspect it is best to worry less about what the “prophets” who wrote Romans said about what is and is not natural, and simply follow what Jesus said and keep their mouths shut about who has chosen to love who.
Last, a private company is under no obligation whatsoever to “not take sides” in sh*t. They’re allowed to refuse rooms to Republicans if they’d like. So please, spare us the “normalize” and neutral stuff.
Here is the ad that is so offensive:
