Homosexuals have been fighting for their rights for quite some time now. And despite the persistent narrow-minded backlash from all those conservatives in the fly-over states, gays have come a long way in achieving acceptance and equality.
However, before the gay revolution began a few decades ago, gay men and women were forced to stay completely closeted from the world. This lack of outwardly gay individuals enveloped America in the false belief that homosexuals simply didn’t exist. As a result, plenty of advertisements that are clearly and blatantly gay to the eyes of today’s generation seemed like nothing more than good, wholesome fun to the innocent generations of yesteryear.
