It tells me you would like to be the filling in a two-girl manwich.

I'm not crazy about bearded kissing, either. Beards are itchy.

Thank you OP for supporting homophobia and promoting the closet.
Exactly. Kissing is fine, as long as heterosexuals are doing it. When I kiss my wife, it is an expression of love, caring, and fidelity, which is the same meaning of a kiss when good husbands kiss their wives. I prefer not to call such attitudes homophobia; it's prejudice and bigotry really.

Wow in 2017 I can't believe this is even a question. It's natural when two people in love kiss.

But it has to do with sex, and many parents don't want to take a chance with educating their kids about sex. This is because parents fear learning about it will arouse a child's curiosity enough to try engaging in sex acts. And many of them sure don't want them trying out sex with the same sex. So they don't want their children to see men kissing or holding hands in public. The same with two women.

For most kids, imaging their parents or grandparents doing it is grosser than seeing 2 younger & clothed men kissing.
99.9% of all people without Dementia hate the erectile dysfunction ads. It is not a partisan data point.

The part that cracks me up is when that milf wife or girlfriend (there's one in every ad) raises her eyebrows and smiles.....it seems like a Saturday Night Live skit and not a TV commercial.

Happily, all the old homophobes will eventually die off. The generations that are following these old bigots are much more socially liberal. Twenty-five years from now we'll look back at these backward thinking individuals and marvel at their ignorance and bigotry.

No matter how much the OP wishes it otherwise, humanity does progress.

I bet it's not questionable or considered offensive in Massachusetts, but sure likely is in the fly over states.

If you think all homophobes are old you're mistaken. What do you think most homophobes teach their children about homosexuality?

2. Who watches Commercials anymore? I don't think I've watched one in 14 years.

3. What's the bank's rate for car loans?

4. Will they give me a toaster if I open an account there?

5. All banks suck (at least they've sucked since they stopped giving away toasters). Even the banks that pretend that they don't suck & that they really care....they suck too.


hound <----- former banker.

I have been pro gay marriage from the beginning and said a long time ago that wading into that alligator pond carried a lot of risk but if they want all the headaches that go along with divorce such as alimony, division of community property, child custody and visitation rights, inheritance rights--then go for it. Countless millions of heterosexual couples regret for the rest of their lives marrying the person they married. Millions of couples simply stay together because divorcing is too expensive. (We all probably know a few of them.) Not only that if you are married you are responsible for the other person's debts and that kind of mess can haunt you for years--long after a divorce. As unmarried homosexuals at least they can walk away from a relationship-gone-bad without losing the shirt off their backs.
