“The Activist Mommy” Facebook page, run by a conservative Christian mother, has started a petition letter to Maybelline and other advertisers to drop Teen Vogue magazine over its controversial sex guide article targeted at minors.
Addressed to Madeline Chambers of Maybelline, the letter, published online on Monday, reads:
“I’m sure that you’re aware of the controversy with regard to Teen Vogue magazine and their recent Internet article entitled ‘Anal Sex: What You Need To Know / How to do it the RIGHT way!’
“You’re also probably aware that the target demographic for this publication is females, 12-17 years old.”
“What you may not know is that parents are outraged, and there’s a national movement to #PullTeenVogue in hard copy form from the shelves of all retailers and libraries, and to cancel mail order subscriptions.”
Elizabeth Johnston, who runs “The Activist Mommy,” said that people are boycotting the products and services of all advertisers and sponsors of Teen Vogue, Condé Nast and Advance Publications, until all ties are severed with the companies.
“We will not stand by idly while our daughters are being exploited for the sole purpose of generating advertising revenue from companies such as Maybelline,” the letter reads.
