We have all agreed that there are a lot of ads out there that happen to be well, funny, ridiculous, false, unrealistic, whatever.

BMG pointed out that he did not find it all funny and that he saw the homosexual identity to be a matter of some seriousness to him. He also brought up his arguments.

Some posters agreed with him on some of his issues and disagreed with him on the others bringing up their arguments. BMG responded and gave us all an excellent legal point. We have expressed our views and possibly learned something from the debate presented.

Yeah, we might have strayed a bit from the original topic but we have also gained a bit, too.

I guess, no one here really wants to 'walk around with the weight of the world on his shoulders' but if someone wants to share his views on slightly more substantial issues, let him do so. No one is stopping the other guys from stating more shallow examples of bad ad writing either...

True, but I didn't see any issue to be debated here that's all.

I myself am politically sound, all for social change, equality and debating hot topic issues but, think there's a time and place for that.

Just for the record, I like reading everyone's thoughts here, including BMG's. I just get worried when I see perfectly harmless fun in terms of letting off some steam come to long winded essays about history, politics and the like, I mean, we need to have some fun too and be comfortable enough to do that without the fear that we're going against the gay agenda. The ability to do that only strengthens us as it displays confidence and a high level of comfort with oursleves as well as showing we know when to take ourselves seriously and when not to.
