JC Penney's Gay Dads To March With Employees In New York City Pride
Via press release from GLAAD:
JCPenney is continuing to show support for the community. This weekend the two dads featured in their ad, Cooper Smith and Todd Koch, will be walking alongside JCPenney employees in the NYC Pride March this weekend. Cooper told GLAAD: “When we were asked by JCPenney's LGBT employee group to be part of their float at NYC Pride, Todd and I immediately said yes. Just as they as a company have honored families like ours, we consider this our way of honoring them and the hundreds of employees who are planning to take part,” said Smith. “We're so proud of JCPenney for including families like ours in their celebration of parents and showcasing the diversity of the American experience.”I predict they'll be this year's most photographed marchers.
