On March 10th, Honey Maid - the graham cracker company - launched a commercial that celebrated all different kinds of families. The message was that no matter what, love is what makes a family a family.

They showed families with two dads:

The title of the commercial was "Wholesome Love" but not everyone agreed with its message.

A follow up video was created by Honey Maid, explaining the responses to the commercial.

They said some people sent them messages of hate, because they didn't agree with the families they saw portrayed in the commercial.
