Cooper and Todd, the dads who gave One Million Moms one million strokes by appearing in JC Penney's Father's Day catalog with their kids, have used their brush with the spotlight to provide more much-needed visibility for same-sex-helmed households.  

"That photo is actually a true second of our lives, just playing and having fun with our kids and the affection and love that we have for them," the couple told NBC5. "We knew that there would be some opposition, but it's nothing that we haven't heard from people our whole lives. It's just part of growing up gay."

If God didn't want gays he wouldn't have created them . So in your face OMM. Thanks to JC PENNY for treating people for who and what they are "PEOPLE"

not all adoptees sail thru.
we wonder why we have to be grateful for family when non-adopteds do not, there are risks of genetic inherited diseases left untreatable for ever that need the biological family for treatments amd cures, we're up-rooted sometimes quite painfully, that's the gist, see many adoptees saying the same Google "about orphans" and you'll get to a website with tons of us

I was in JC Penney last Sunday with my boy friend-saw a shirt I sort of liked and bought it because I wanted to support JC Penney. I've been wearing that shirt for three days now. Guess it's time wash it. Check it out. You can't beat their prices.
