Lovenskiold Handel As, New Flatmate
An amateur-looking shot of a woman speaking into a digital camera sets the stage. She is speaking Norwegian and holding the camera herself. She says she and her current male roommate are waiting for their new, allegedly gay flatmate to arrive. They mention that this fact will come in handy when decorating the apartment.
The doorbell rings, and the woman answers the door to find her new roommate. She is surprised and mildly disappointed when an average, heterosexual middle-aged man stands before her.
She discusses the situation with her current roommate and eventually lets the man inside. The closing shot is of the three of them sitting side by side in front of a laptop computer.
The ad earns an "Equal" rating because, while gay men's taste is stereotyped, it is a positive generalization. The idea that these two people are looking forward to having a homosexual roommate is certainly gay-friendly.
