Watch: The New Commercial That’ll Start A Firestorm Before It Even Airs On TV
Procter and Gamble is once again wading into the same-sex marriage debate–this time with a new commercial poking fun at Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis.
The director of the ad, Mark Nickelsburg, posted it on his Facebook page last week writing: “First a clerk in Kentucky, and now a church lady in Los Angeles! This same sex couple faces yet another obstacle on the way to marriage equality in this commercial I directed.”
In the “Tide to Go” ad, a same-sex couple, dressed in tuxes, walks hand-in-hand towards a church with one turning to the other: “Last chance to back out” and the other replying: “Don’t tempt me.”
Just as they reach the entrance, a church lady confronts them. “How offensive. I won’t let you blemish the sanctity of marriage,” she says. The two men begin the protestations, when suddenly the woman whips out a “Tide to Go” laundry pen and removes a spot from one of the groom’s shirts. “Carry on boys,” she says as she walks on by allowing them to enter the sanctuary, as joyful organ music plays in the background.
Procter and Gamble has not been shy in showing it support for homosexual rights for decades. Following the Supreme Court ruling in June finding all state laws that define marriage as between one man and one woman unconstitutional, the company tweeted:
We support and respect everyone’s right to be who they are. #LoveWins#LoveHasNoLabels#PrideMonth2015pic.twitter.com/Ti1wWmKfCd

Christian leaders in the past have urged a boycott of Procter and Gamble products because of its high profile support of the homosexual agenda.
Meanwhile, Kim Davis went back to work on Monday vowing she would not violate her conscience by affixing her name or title to same-sex marriage licenses; however, she added she would not block her deputy clerks from issuing them. Rather than having her authorization, the licenses will state that they are issued pursuant to a “federal court order.”
“(U.S. District Judge David Bunning) indicated last week that he was willing to accept altered marriage licenses even though he was not certain of their validity,” Davis told reporters on Monday. “I, too, have great doubts whether the license issued under these conditions are even valid.”
The governor of Kentucky, Steve Beshear, believes they are. “I’m … confident and satisfied that the licenses that were issued last week (and) this morning substantially comply with the law in Kentucky,” he told reporters Monday. “And they’re going to be recognized as valid in the Commonwealth.”
“Today, Kim Davis remains the bravest woman in America,” Davis’ attorney Hary Mihet said at a Monday press conference. “She has not compromised her conscience, she has not compromised her faith and she has not quit serving the people of Rowan County that she loves very much.”
Davis believes the 5-4 Supreme Court ruling mandating same-sex marriage violates God’s moral law.
Christian teaching on marriage originates in the Bible’s book of Genesis, which Jesus affirms in the New Testament, saying:
Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?’ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh.
