Gay Creme Egg advert isn’t going anywhere

Gay Creme Egg advert isn’t going anywhere despite 25,000 bigots’ best attempts. 

A Creme Egg advert starring a real-life gay couple sharing a sticky kiss isn’t going anywhere, despite a ridiculous anti-LGBT+ petition.

Cadbury’s said it’s proud to spread a “message of inclusion” with its Creme Egg advert, which has attracted the ire of more than 25,000 bigots in a new petition.

The petition claims the advert is “selling sex to children” and is causing “gratuitous offence to members of the Christian community” around Easter.

“Given that children often copy what they see on screen, the advert constitutes a form of grooming, exposing children to inappropriate and graphic sexual content,” it bizarrely claims.

“Cadbury’s are clearly hoping to cause controversy and escape criticism by claiming that any objections must be rooted in homophobia“. It claims that “members of the LGBT community have also expressed their dislike of this campaign”, and says that “if the couple in question were heterosexual, the advertisement would likely be prohibited, given the sexually explicit and graphic nature of the kiss”.

In response, Cadbury’s released a statement to Premier Christian News.

“Cadbury’s has always been a progressive brand that spreads a message of inclusion, whether it is through its products or brand campaigns,” a spokesperson said.

“We are proud of our Golden Goobilee advert which celebrates the many ways that everyone can enjoy a Cadbury Creme Egg.

“To illustrate this and showcase the joy our products bring, a clip of a real life couple sharing a Cadbury Creme Egg was included in the advert.”
