Word to the wise: don't watch this heartwarming Tylenol commercial while in the presence of others, unless you'd like for them to see you as a blubbering mess.
Just in time for the holiday season, the creative folks over at Tylenol have reimagined Norman Rockwell's painting 'Freedom From Want,' with an LGBTQ family. Gone are the days in which the nuclear family of the 1950s reigned supreme. Nowadays, family comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. The Beser-Carr-Schneider-Musich family featured in the commercial, for instance, includes a lesbian couple, an ex-husband and his new wife and a slew of children from different marriages and partnerships.
Ultimately, Tylenol celebrates diversity in the family form with this a tear-jerking holiday commercial.
