J.C. Penney has released a Father's Day advertisement that features a same-sex couple consisting of two fathers playing with two children, which has outraged the American Family Association's One Million Moms who feel the company is "promoting sin."

In the advertisement that appears in J.C Penney's June catalog, two children are showed hugging their two fathers next to a headline that reads, "First Pals -- What makes Dad so cool? He's the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver -- all rolled into one. Or two. Real-life dads Todd Koch and Cooper Smith with their children Claire and Mason."
One Million Moms is calling for people to stand against the advertisement.
"One Million Moms (OMM) is disturbed that JC Penney's (JCP) is continuing down the same path of promoting sin in their advertisements," a statement read on the One Million Moms website. "In JCP's June catalog, there is another homosexual ad, but this time with two dads celebrating Father's Day."
The men featured in J.C. Penney's latest ad said they were approached in February to be included in the Father's Day catalog and that a variety of families had been sought for the issue.
"The photo is just a one-second photo of our life. It's a candid moment of how we interact with each other," Smith told the Dallas Voice.
