WHERE SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISING MEETS LGBT EQUALITY

Kayak, Roommates

Members:

The commercial initiates with a man searching the web for travel deals on Kayak.com. In a comedic twist, a second man comes out of the original man's shirt, occupying the same sleeves and neckline, stating, “I just wanna see how you’re always getting those great travel deals.” With a slightly confused look, the protagonist briefly explains the benefits of using Kayak.com, to which the second man replies “I gotta email Becca about this.” They then fight for control of the computer while still sharing the same sleeves.

While this commercial does not deal specifically with gay characters, the nonchalant reaction of the protagonist to having a man inside his sweater is important in a sense that it provides a form of normalcy in the situation. That is, rather than making a negative remark to the man's presence, the protagonist is initially indifferent until they begin to fight over control of the computer.
