An advertisement for the Cadbury Creme Egg has faced a backlash for its brief inclusion of a same-sex kiss.
The UK ad features a real-life gay couple sharing one of the popular treats with their mouths, part of a longer ad that highlights the varying ways that people consume their Creme Eggs.
The ad is part of Cadbury s celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the Creme Egg, which they have named the Golden Goobilee .
The petition was launched on conservative website CitizenGo and calls upon the UK s Advertising Standards Agency to withdraw the ad.

The company’s campaign that uses the tagline “jab and go”, encourages people to engage in air travel as Covid-19 vaccinations are being rolled out.
If you’re a music lover, chances are you’ll have used streaming services of some kind. Music streaming accounts for more than half of the global music industry’s revenue in the UK, bringing in more than £1 billion in the last year.
But while the three major labels – Sony, Universal and Warner – are reporting record high profits, a poll by The Ivors Academy and Musicians’ Union found that eight out of ten music creators earn less than £200 a year from streaming. According to one report, artists earn on average only £0.009 per stream.
The UK government is now carrying out an inquiry into music streaming, looking at how to make it fairer and if there’s a way musicians and songwriters can get a greater cut. Artists who have given evidence include Ed O Brien from Radiohead, Elbow’s Guy Garvey and disco legend Nile Rodgers, while Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin also published a letter of support.
