For some reason, one theme I always associated with the gay ‘movement’ was, “Lighten up.” A notion that their being homosexual isn’t as big a deal as some make it out to be. I always thought much of the flamboyance on display in most gay pride parades was a sort of tongue-in-cheek backlash against those who see such behavior as immoral. This is why I have a hard problem understanding the negative response to this ad:

Seriously, this is homophobic? This can’t be funny because some people might enjoy having a guy’s sweaty crotch rammed in his face hard enough to make him fall backwards? Or is it the simple image of a guy’s face in another guy’s crotch that isn’t allowed to be funny? Either way, Nike pulled the ad rather than tell some overly-sensitive sissies to grow up and get over themselves.
