Alfani, Perfectly Put Together
This ad, which appeared in The New York Times, intriguingly appears to subtly imply a biracial gay male couple. The standing man has his hand on the shoulder of the sitting black man -- they are touching, as with the man and woman on the left. While it is also possible that it may "just" be a family portrait, (the standing man also has arm around an older man likely intended to be his father) the presence of a black man seems to indicate otherwise, and there is no mother shown.

You're way off base....as a man of color, the man of color appears to only be a good friend to all. The man standing is with his "daddy" boyfriend.

If the man seated and the man standing had been holding hands I might think they were a couple, but my first honest impression was that it was a May-December relationship.

Why does anyone have to be coupled, besides the obvious male and female? Maybe they're just friends or, even better, maybe there's a triad relationship between the three men. The ads succeeds in raising eyebrows and explaining little. Bravo! Pretty Ad.

Looks like a nice little get together photo to me but I guess it could really be a nefarious plot to undermine western civilization, I'm just not seeing it.

Great Ad. Congratulations Ford, way to go! More companies should think like Ford.

Okay, how about this. The woman is with the Black guy and the two blonde guys are a couple. She's just being flirty

My interpretation of this ad is that it suggests a proud father of three sons, one straight, one gay and one straight and single
