If you say so. I think a lot of people might just say "I think that dress looks good, so I'm gonna buy it"

Well, no, in order to argue that almost every advertisement has a direct or indirect sexual undertone, you said:

My argument is that some people think, "The outfit itself looks good". Not everyone buys clothing so that they will "look sexy". So either way, whether we're talking about it being two women kissing (a chaste kiss, someone called it and I agree) or the dresses they're wearing, it's up to the viewer whether sex is in any way associated with this particular ad. Obviously, some advertisements are blatantly making use of the "sex sells" precedent, but not this one.
It IS okay, whether it's a choice or not. All I want my kid to learn about sexual/romantic relations is that monogamy is best and full commitment ("Take it slow, until you know") is key. In my view, the picture is indicative of love, not sex and not making out with other girls because it's "cool" or "fun". If someone had have been standing behind them, bible or no, I would've thought it was a wedding. No joke!
And how do you feel about the vast majority of depictions in the media being of heterosexual behavior? I'm sure there are gay and lesbian couples with children who feel the same way about the fact that every time they turn on the TV, it's "always" a man and a woman together. They may believe it's all teaching their kids they should be heterosexual. Same difference. While I sympathize with the want to prevent them from being influenced by depictions of lesbians as "sexy" or lesbian activity as "cool", I feel just as strongly about the media pushing sexuality through images of heterosexual behavior, which I see a lot more often.
More and more today, sexual provocative images-gay or straight, are invading public space-space shared by children. Enough is Enough! Plain & simple...our children are seeing too much, too soon.

Sounds like a local issue to me. What's accepted in West Hollywood, CA, might not be accepted in Topeka, KS. I don't want prudes deciding what West Hollywood can look like.

Agreed. And so long as we're in agreement that the picture referring to in the OP is not an example, we're on the same page.
I think if women are going to kiss it should not be in public and they should alway's be naked
