We recently ran a billboard campaign in Dallas depicting an interracial relationship; the responses from some media outlets were ridiculous. Instead of celebrating our effort of promoting diversity and sexual expression, conservative editorial writer Tod Robberson (The Dallas Morning News) called it “an advertisement for blatant, unbridled promiscuity of the most dangerous kind.” Dangerous, really? Fox 4 news picked up the story airing the same sentiment.

But what’s wrong with it? The billboard didn’t show anyone getting fucked nor any dick pics. We interviewed people on the street to ask if the ad is offensive… watch their reactions below:
OK, this can be considered offensive. But let’s be straight then (no pun intended…): adds with partially undressed women should be considered equally offensive. And that is unfortunately not the reality in our world. A disappointment, but that’s the way it is.
I feel very lucky to live in the very tolerant Netherlands (although it isn’t what it used to be anymore…). We can love who we want, marry who we want, raise a family with who we want. I do hope that the rest of the world can live in the same way. Diversity is beautiful!
There is nothing in that billboard that says anything other than let’s fuck.
There are always people who like to complain over everything because I do not have a nice thing to say. The ad is excellent.
We live in a straight world where male homosexuality will never be accepted. They think of us as deviant perverts who want to suck and fuck all the time (anything wrong with that!?). The world has shunned for years (centuries) and in this day and age they are slowly accepting us (and not treating us like X-men mutants) but billboards like this will not fly in our society. If it were in our gayborhood here in Dallas, it would be accepted. It just depends where it is located. Looks like its in a straight neighborhood.
stupid advertisement … that sort of publicity just stirs up shit ..
EXACTLY! Nothing about relationships at……LETS FUCK is all i get from it
