WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

Diageo, Five Jobs. Three Cars. Two Partners. One Dog.

This ad's reference to two partners could run in mainstream media and mean something entirely different than it seem to imply when it ran in OUT magazine.

Alcohol is by far the most crowded category in gay marketing, with over 40 brands jostling for attention. Perhaps the most consistent presence has been Seagram's Absolut vodka for over 17 years, but Miller Brewing Co. has also had a mixed presence in gay media since the mid-1970s. Somewhat impervious to early fears of criticism from religious conservatives that other marketers worried about, so-called "sin products" such as alcohol also had something no other marketers did before the 1990s – an easily quantifiable marketplace: gay bars. They didn't need to do research to find out how much gays purchased their products, they just looked at their sales.
