Yes, I find it more insulting when sex is used to sell something to me than when it's used to sell something to someone else.

And it's not the bunny ad in the gay mag that bugs me ... just the assumption that to get my gay dollars for the bunny stuff, you'd better advertise in the gay magazine so I will see it. I don't appreciate the implication that gays don't read regular magazines.

Sorry, and not to piss Betty off any more, but it was the O.P. which gave me the impression she wanted to advertise cabinetry to gay men by placing ads in gay mags. I understand her point that gay mags will have a 99% gay audience. But I just bristled at the concept it was the best way to reach the gay audience. I think it's the best way to reach the gay audience that identifies primarily with being gay.

It just pushed a button is all. I hate that so many gays consider The Gay to be their self-defining thing. Blecch.
