Would this billboard offend you if you saw it while driving on EDSA?

On the billboard: Its not too offensive. It depends on the perception of the person looking at it.

Compared to tv shows specifically highlighting gays and lesbian as primary actors, this billboard is tame.

Heck, I'd rather have MTRCB censor goin' bulilit for their segment "sinetch itey" featuring male kids as gay reporters. It gives me goose bumps to see that. It used to be a funny show, now we don't let our kids watch it anymore.

Hey,- i am tolerant,- yes,- but there should be a place for such intimate actions.... It's like kissing in public for whatever ***ual orientation you are,- it is not proper.

You're jokla,- yes I can accept that,- but do not broadcast or advertise it like it is the best thing in the world for us to see!

Two gentlemen,- HHWW.... oh man!

Tama yan! I will post this again I respect their ***uality but they should also respect me if I'm uncomfortable around them and it shouldn't be taken against me.

So... guess what? Turns out it was Bench that got cold feet and censored the ad before they sent it to the Ad Council.

I mean... seriously... you're taking a picture of a gay couple for your billboard. Have the guts to follow through!

What I don't get is why does jokla feels the need to ram it down to everyone's throat about their ***uality

Personally... holding hands is about 20 levels removed from any "get a room" type discomfort.

Kids hold hands with each other.

Parents and kids hold hands with each other.

Girl "besties" sometimes hold hands while walking. (and yes, Lesbians, too... but I've found that straight girls do it, too)

Boy "besties" used to do it (the younger ones), but the stigma of being "gay" means that they don't do it, anymore. But bros... we totally hold hands after a fist bump... just to see who'll break down in tears first as we squeeze.

IMHO, the billboard isn't propaganda. It's just showing the truth. That sometimes best buds can hold hands.

(Our joke is,- check your friends. If two are straight,- then you're 'it'......

Billboard is a promotion.

Hold that thought for a while....

Now, would you ???

Accept them for what they are, but do not tolerate what they do...

No big deal, in fact it's mild compared to what Benetton did...
