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!

Boycott Roxy Night Club in Orlando Florida

Greetings everyone. I’ll get to the point at hand.On the night of December 22nd, 2007 I went with a group of my friends to the Roxy night club located on Bennett in Orlando Florida. We showed them valid Florida ID’s showing that we were of legal age to enter the establishment. The bouncer asked us to produce ‘student ID’s’ which seemed a bit odd to all of us because they have never asked us this before. When we spoke to the manager he told us the same thing and asked us to step out of the line. We were all confused and a bit frustrated at this point. I had heard that there was a huge fight about 2 or 3 weeks before and The Roxy’s thinks that Asians started it, because of that I had heard that they were giving Asians a hard time getting in now. I knew that my group of friends had nothing to do with any of that so it bothered me a lot that we were being racially profiled and discriminated like that. We saw 3 more groups of people walk in with out even being asked to show any form of ‘student ID’ at that point we asked the manager “How come they got in? They didn’t show you any student ID.” The manager’s reply to us was this “This is our establishment and we reserve the right serve anyone we want.”
