An early Christmas ad from greeting card giant Hallmark features a gay couple.
Hallmark posted the 15-second ad, titled Keepsake Ornaments, on Facebook.
“Just can't let go of … anything?” Hallmark wrote in unveiling the ad. “Unwrap, unpack and commemorate the moments that matter.”
In the ad, two men are busy moving into a new home.
One man finds the couple's first Christmas tree in a box.
“This was our first tree,” the man says.
“You know what it needs? An accessory,” his partner says before hanging a “New Home 2016” ornament.
“Mi casa es su casa,” the partner says as the couple admires the tree.
Hallmark has previously included same-sex couples in their advertising. In 2008, Christian conservative group American Family Association (AFA) protested Hallmark for selling wedding cards aimed at gay and lesbian couples.
