Here's the Proctor & Gamble pro-LGBTQ video deemed too 'political' for Facebook

Facebook pulled an ad about Pride, saying that it was not properly labeled as a political ad.

The ad came from Proctor & Gamble, a multinational corporation that owns dozens of consumer brands. Their Facebook ad directed people to a video they made about Michael Chanak, a Proctor & Gamble employee who, in the 80’s and 90’s, pushed the corporation to add sexual orientation to its nondiscrimination policy.



Facebook labeled it a political ad, which means that it should have had a “paid for by” tag on it. Facebook requires information from groups that issue political ads in an effort to increase transparency.

The policy “won’t be perfect to start — we’ll learn and evolve over time – but we think the good far outweighs the bad,” a Facebook spokesperson said.

Proctor & Gamble, though, said that the ad isn’t political at all – it just celebrates Pride.

2. It looks like they responded to complaints from right wingers without watching the video themselves.
