Re: Heinz to withdraw 'Gay Kiss' advert!

You can carp on about society/individuals accepting homosexuality as normal, but the fact remains that we're not at that point. Whether homosexuality will ever been seen as 'the norm' is arguable, as the fact remains that it isn't natural and so is outside of the mainstream.

Whilst the advert is fairly harmless and should arguably be seen as 'a bit of fun', the reality is that the majority of males (and probably females to a lesser extent) find the image of two men being 'overly affectionate' discomforting and I count myself amongst that number. If that makes me a homophobe in people's eyes, then fair enough. I'll live with that.
