Clear Channel Caves In
Clear Channel pulled the above Gay.com ad yesterday after receiving five complaints from members of the anti-gay, anti-queer, anti-trans group Article 8 Alliance. (Click over to Downtown Lad for their contact number.)
What Article 8 Alliance had to say about the billboard:
How much worse does it get? Two naked men embracing, wrapped in an American flag, advertising a pornographic homosexual “hook-up” web site. This is where the gay movement is taking you, unless you take action.
And, sadly, a day after their complaints, the ad is replaced:
I doubt Clear Channel intends on responding to all complaints in the same fashion, and I’d love for them to share with us which lines they will and will not cross.
