Ok, let me give you my take on all of this.
The two gay rights organizations that protested, the HRC and GLAAD, are both organizations that I donate to financially every year.
HRC works more on the political/legal side to help homosexuals gain legal rights and protections.
GLAAD is basically the PR firm for homosexuals, seeking to have us portrayed in a positive way, and appearing on talkshows and media interviews about homosexual issues.
PERSONALLY I thought the snickers ad was funny. I thought it demonstrated the ridiculousness of homophobia, and made a couple of redneck breeders look like fucktards.
That being said, I understand where GLAAD and HRC are coming from. The truth of the matter is, you do not see gays being portrayed in a positive light on a regular basis in mainstream advertising, so if the only time the public is exposed to images of "homosexuals" or ("homosexual conduct" in this case), is in a semi-derogatory manner, I could see how that might perpetuate an antigay stigma.
But like I said before, PERSONALLY I thought it was funnay. |
