Five Years, Five Gay Ads Rejected by CBS

Feb 19th, 2010 | 3 responsesPosted by OIA Staff in Entertainment, News

Over the past five years the network CBS has refused to air commercials that feature gay advocacy or a gay theme during the Superbowl. The ads either promote a positive message, or are harmless corporate marketing ploys. They have also receiving failing grades with respect to LGBT coverage and have been show to pander to anti-gay right-wing organizations.

Five pro-gay commercials were rejected between December 2004-2010. Below are those five ads:

I liked the post. The football one may have been a little to risky for tv, but I thought the others were either funny or brought to light true emotions that I think a lot of gay people share and feel at different times in their lives.

The first two were religious, which I don’t think religion should be advertised.

The add about the store clerk was educational.

The last two commercials were funny and but the one with the football game, I wouldn’t put that as a commercial; I don’t think I want to teach society that we gay people think about sex all the time like they do. There are other ways to convey our message to the world.

I wouldn’t want any of those adds on T.V. either, except for the football one. I don’t need Hannah Montana to baby sit my sexuality or the slang some people use. The first two were just church ads…

And of course, the last one. I’m more convinced ‘Lola’ wasn’t so much gay as much as he was just insanely delighted about everything. He looked more like a villain from the old Adam West, Batman, T.V. show.
