WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

1949 Print Report A Problem

While the ad features both men and women, the men are always, especially in the last illustration, paired up.

There are two presumably straight couples shown in a home environment, but the men and the women are shown only socializing with the same sex. The last illustration shows the two men making eye contact toasting the occasion.

The text reads: "I was curious.. I tasted it and now I know why Schlitz is the beer that made Milwaukee famous!"

The advertisement is rated Gay Vague because the nature of the interactions, especially among the men, are suggestive of gay attraction. Additionally, the verbiage of the ad, including words like "curious," add to the innuendo.
