No...i'm saying he's wrong for complaining that it's being "pushed" on anyone when it isn't.

Keep your personal life private....
Considering that this is one picture in what is likely a 50+ page magazine, I would dare to say that they are in fact underrepresenting the ratio of gay to straight that exists in "the real world".

I would also point out that something can be "normal", yet only exist in a minority of the population. There are so many examples to choose from outside of the whole homosexuality "debate" that I don't understand why that's such a hard concept to grasp.

True.

Time to look up some SolKat to satisfy my craving for homosexual sloppy makeouts.

Yea, really. I was hoping for something FAR more salacious than what i got. In fact, i'm p*ssed that the OP posted something so tame.

Agreed and more often than not, they are usually republicans.

Anyways, showing a picture of two people engaging in seemingly homosexual activity to sell a product is no different than showing a picture of two people enganging in seemingly heterosexual activity to sell a product.

YOu got that right. The media is turning it into a spectacle so we see it everywhere, hoping that this flooding the market with these images will convince us that it is an ordinary, everyday occurrence and just start giving it a shrug. Its an old brainwashing tactic. Works well on youth.

A few pics every now and again=flooding the market.

Gotcha.

Anyways, it is a normal, every day occurence for me.

What with being married to a pansexual woman with preferences that shift more towards females than males, and my own rather "trappy" tastes myself.

What is wrong with a business using any image it wants to use?
