WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

This ad, while it appears to be two women, actually includes male model Lee Williams on the left.

Fashion has always permitted more theatrics in displays of style and affection. This ad pulls in runway drama, but it certainly does not communicate to a lesbian audience.

Lee Williams on the left side of this ad is a semi famous MALE model/actor. This ad is a fine example of heterosexuality or sexual ambiguity in advertising, but it is no way lesbian. I cannot believe someone would mistake Lee for a girl... well I could, but whatever. This ad should be moved to a different section.

The gender of the person on the left is not obvious, and the coupling is not clearly romantic or sexual. Put this ad under "Gay Vague." As a heterosexual, non-transgendered person who supports the LGBT community, I do not see how this is blatantly inclusive.
