Sainsbury's is selling same-sex Valentine's Day cards for the first time ever Empty Sainsbury's is selling same-sex Valentine's Day cards for the first time ever

With Valentine’s Day just one week away, it’s time to start wading through the fluffy bears and love hearts to find the perfect card - but if you’re a gay couple, this can be hard to find.

Until now, many same-sex couples have had to improvise with generic cards that make no suggestion of gender, but supermarket giant Sainsbury’s is about to change all that.

For the first time, Sainsbury’s is selling a range of Valentine’s Day cards that represent same-sex couples.

The simple designs feature illustrations of a woman and a woman, and a man and a man, with the caption ‘You + Me.’

My general feeling on greetings cards is they are a waste of money lol

But this is still very cute and well overdue. Nice one Sainsbury's Smile

I can't believe valentine cards for same sex couples are new on the market.
If they are, it's about time. I love you
