When Lush started receiving backlash for advertising with photos of nonheteronormative couples, the company responded to "the stir" in the best way possible — with humor!
Last week, we posted a photo that created quite the stir! Let us set the record straight. Big tubs - they do exist! #bathgoals #loveislove pic.twitter.com/r9ieybNJD2

Despite some negative feedback, it looks like most of the internet is on the same page: this sweet campaign just took our love for Lush and its fizzy bombs to the next level.
@lushcosmetics loving that you use a non heteronormative couple here. Take my money forever 💸💸💸💸💸
