A petition has been set up to oppose the depiction of same-sex couples as “a family” in an advertisement for Costa Rican biscuit company Pozuelo, reports Buzzfeed.
The company’s #CuandoHayAmorHayFamilia (When there is love there is family) campaign shows varying depictions of what makes a family: an older couple with their dogs, a mother and father with two children, a father-and-son single parent family and a same-sex couple.
The petition asks the offended to use the hashtag #NoEsLoMismo (not the same) to vent their anger.
No es lo mismo que la niña coja sereno, que el sereno coja a la niña. #NoEsLoMismo

However, Twitter users have taken on the official campaign tag #CuandoHayAmorHayFamilia to express support for the advert.
