CBS Snubs Gay Non-Profit Ad!

Yet Focus On The Family got airtime?! NOT cool!

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network PSA featuring Hilary Duff was not given a spot during the Super Bowl this year making it the second gay-oriented ad to be rejected after gay dating website ManCrunch.com was also denied.

What the eff?! This is unacceptable!

Check out the fantastic ad above highlighting the "Think Before You Speak" campaign!

      wow..seriously my comment got deleted..way to reject somone's point of view. Ur gay ass can't even accept what I post, I didn't even put anything derogatory on here just facts and a different way to view the situation.

      Lafemme22 nailed it on the head!

      I agree with the message, but they could have found someone more convincing than lame ass Hilary Duff!!! Hire people who can somewhat act really get the message across.

      Heh, that's the commercial Dane Cook jokes about on his Isolated Incident comedy routine. Love it.

      even though it's just a word… it has a very impacted meaning and right now society isn't going to think it's just a word as the rest of us. It hurts to put another meaning that is bad to associate with a word that means something else because other people will get it mixed together and soon it will all mean that gay equals bad… they're people who have feelings ok … anyways about the other ads, im sure it just didn't have the money and it wasn't getting customers… super bowl has to have the best commercials, ok it totally sucked this year, i watched the game instead and yay saints!!

      perhaps it's because it's just a bad ad?



    7. 107

      Oh shut up perez! So it's perfectly ok, in your opinion, that Family Guy made fun of a disabled child but you're mad the super bowl didn't air a commercial that promotes your personal agenda…cry me a river!!

      Hilary Duff is Gay, no wonder



    9. 109

      ROTFLAMO! I love seeing leftards get their panties in a wad when things don't go their way! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    10. 110

      could have aired it



    11. 111

      Ad is not new. Maybe that is the reason.

      Some of you assholes here just don't get it! Using the word gay (or any other word meaning gay) as an insult is just as bad as people who use the N word.
      Anytime a celeb uses racist words,people lose their minds over it. But using a derogatory remark toward gay people,and that's supposed to be okay.
      What a hypocritical amount of BULLSHIT that is!

      Re: RRaaZZ – Grow up! You're NOT funny!

      Re: Miss Moneypenny – No,it revolves around straight white people. Gay people have to FIGHT tooth & nail for every step forward we're given. I'm sick to death of bigots,homophobes and religion trying to keep us second-class citizens! If it were YOU ,you'd be pissed,too!

      Re: Notmybowlofrice – Uh-huh!

      It's perfectly acceptable….."Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", RuPaul's Drag show, it's called entertainment. Gay is funny and different and every show has one because it brings in RATINGS……that's what it's all about Perez. Take the stick out yer ass and lighten up bitch!



    17. 117

      didnt this come out like 3 or 4 years ago. Why would they want to play it again.



    18. 118

      that's retarded…oops i just said retarded…omg. gay doesn't mean "gay"… one of my best gay friends calls things gay and it's hilarious…



    19. 119

      Who cares?



    20. 120

      That's a really good campaign, and I'm sure the people who are anti-gay have commercials they see as really good campaigns. Why can't they just air both? I'm all in support for gay rights, but other people need to be allowed their opinion, too. The best thing is equal airings.

      I heart GLSEN!
