The Heinz mayonnaise advertisement showing two men kissing has been taken off air. Heinz received more than 200 complaints from homophobic and ignorant consumers, and Heinz have succomb to this pressure from a minority of ignorant people. These only highlights that gay equality and rights are still being held back and subdued by this way of thinking. Complaints varied, from consumers not wishing to have conversations with their children explaining same sex relationships, to people simply finding it offensive. If parents did explain the diversity of the world we live in, then future generations would not be ignorant to the world they live in and the people around them. Why is two women kissing ok and two men is not. What if the diet coke break advert had been men ogling another man instead of women ogling a man. Why are children being sheltered from something that is supposedly 'accepted' (not that I like that term) and considered as valid a relationship as any other!
