A thought: If they made this ad fifty years ago, the man would be married to a black woman instead of a white man.

Also: I love this ad. If the man was straight, some people would criticize the ad because they'd see him as a creepy philanderer. By him being gay, they get the M/F interaction that advertisers like for a product that has non-gender-specific use, and avoid the creep vibe.

So not a win for gay acceptance as much as a win for the advertisers who developed this ad. But still, it's nice to see a same-sex marriage treated in such an easy manner.

Though I'm a little disturbed by how they knew to recommend them to me... seems Amazon knows more about me than my husband.

The best gay beach candy is at Puerto Vallarta, at the southern end of the Playa Los Muertos, especially in the area called "Blue Chairs" after the resort of that name.

Well good-looking lesbians do, but they're rarer than hen's teeth.

@25 - Strapped into a Verso Prologue leather cover, my Kindle actually feels very booklike. Not exactly the same as a paperback, but close enough to make me a convert.

It was this trick that finally sold me on e-readers. Finally, I can read safely in the surf, pool, the bath, even the shower. No more warped and soggy pages!
