WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

IKEA International, Two Dads

Members:

A child in a mouse suit sits on top of a rolling coffee table set, while two men stand behind her -- one kissing the other on the cheek. "My daddies are also a set," says the text.

This campaign pokes fun at stereotypes of meek Dutch, who use a gray mouse as a traditional Dutch metaphor for bland, mainstream people who don't like to cause controversy.

Another in the campaign has an Asian man -- in a gray mouse hood and shorts -- popping out of a portable closet in front of a guy in black shorts.

It is one of 11 gay-themed ads from IKEA, which has taken quite an interest in the subject.

Bravo, great. Particulary good now with the whole gay marriage issue... has this run in the US?
