WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

The Excite Network, Military Service

Members:

Military men in a barracks are all cuddled up in their cots, with smiles on their faces like happy children.

A commander walks in, switches on the radio to classical music as a crew of white-gloved busboys wheel in trays of fresh fruit, baked goods and coffee for the men.

As the men are gently wakened (no bugle horns here), one even gets a paternal kiss on the forehead before being handed his coffee -- he smiles warmly.

Others are handed their coats by valets, as another shines someone's shoes.

The announcer says the tagline: "The world as you like it." The final shot includes the pulling off of covers to discover a man in bed with a gal -- then mindfully recovered.

Though not gay, the male kiss in this ad is handled properly: without fanfare or an uncomfortable response -- to the contrary, it is greeted pleasantly.
