In terms of creating Gay Vague ads on purpose, I believe that it is a logical way to generate revenue for a company because their advertisements reach a broader market. However, I feel that if a company can spend so much money on advertising, they could invest in the resources necessary to learn how to create and incorporate LGBT friendly ads in their campaigns.
I would like to see advertisers start to reflect the inclusiveness we already see in mainstream TV shows and film, and society in general. There are more gays everywhere else it seems!
