So I think for the first time in history, I have seen an ad aimed exclusively at the gays. Orbitz had a travel commercial playing on VH1 today that involved a male gay couple that were booking a trip to San Francisco all the while pawing each other. Finally, at the end of the commercial they link to the the gay & lesbian section of Orbitz at http://www.orbitz.com/gaytravel/. Something tells me this isn't playing on the big four network stations. -Dave

I found that they have they a section on their website where you can read about and watch the clip. http://www.commercialcloset.org/cgi-bin/iowa/portrayals.html?record=2195

I saw this AD on VH1 while watchign Strip Search, I was board and it was on. Was really shocked at how progressive they are.

^^^ That is a really good thing BTW

Interesting, and encouraging. Maybe you've seen it but the United Church of Christ have run ads promoting tolerance and acceptance, as well, and they're a ray of hope in this bigoted nation of ours. There's a church with a huge line to get in, and there's a bouncer letting in all of the white males with buxom young ladies hanging off their arms, while turning away the blacks and homosexuals. An announcer cuts in and says something like, "Christ didn't turn people away. We don't either." It's always reassuring when I hear about things like this.
