New Amazon Kindle ad supports same-sex marriage

Amazon is out with a new Kindle ad, but the commercial’s most attention-getting message has little to do with the e-reader itself.

Instead, it’s about gay marriage. Here’s what goes down in the 30-second spot:

1. Man on the beach has trouble using an iPad because of the glare.

2. Woman next to him, using a Kindle PaperWhite, lists off all the nice things about her device. “This is perfect at the beach,” she says of the Amazon product.

3. Convinced he needs a Kindle, man buys one using his iPad. He turns, smiles and looks at the woman. “We should celebrate,” he says, apparently ready to make a move on her.

4. Woman responds and rejects his offer: “My husband is bringing me a drink right now.”

5. Man responds: “So is mine.”
