Interesting week where gay is concerned

YAY for America and it getting rid of that stupid 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law. Now that they've recognised the importance of equality in the work place, if they could just extend that sentiment to marriage so the whole world could follow suit, my friends and I would be eternally grateful.

In other news, a 'sexy lesbian car commercial' was banned in Italy this week, prompting angry responses from

a) The gay population who think that it should be shown
b) The gay population who think that Renault are sexualising gay relationships.

Now, in my opinion, I hardly think it can be called 'a sexy lesbian commercial'. Don't we all use stockings to tie up random ladies we meet at parties?

Seriously though, I think car commercials always try to be sexy, so the couple they are using is irrelevant. In fact, I think if more big names got involved in making advertisements like this, the media would 'normalise' gay relationships, so that we could just call them 'relationships', without the gay/straight distinction. That said, they didn't use two men.

Whatever the circumstances surrounding its 'ban', I'd bet my Puffa that Burlesconi wasn't involved.

See for yourself
