A recent
advertisement released by the Microsoft Corporation shows the tech company's
support for same-sex marriage, as it features a wedding between two women in an
attempt to promote the new set of social media features accompanying the
company's free email service Outlook.com.
A third
woman, presumably a friend of the couple, is able to easily see that the couple
has wed using her Outlook.com account through status updates and a name change.
As critics
contend, this recent advertisement holds a greater significance, as it reveals
a shift in the advertising market.
In a
similar case, Amazon recently featured a commercial for its Kindle Paperwhite
which shows a male couple on vacation in Hawaii.
Although
proponents of same-sex marriage laud the commercials, others argue that these
companies are pushing political, social, and religious issues into the home
uninvited.
"We
have Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite commercial that promotes gay marriage. Instead
of Amazon remaining neutral in the culture war while showcasing how their
product has no glare even at the beach, they chose to promote sin," the
conservative values group One Million Moms said in a statement, referencing the
Amazon commercial.
