Notes From D.R. | Random Thoughts on the Passing Scene

Controversy in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as a group opposed to same-sex marriage successfully lobbies for the removal of a billboard showing two men embracing while wrapped in an American flag, next to the tagline "Come together. Gay.com." (A photo of the billboard is included in this article.) 

Although I do think the double-entendre catchphrase is objectionable, I really don’t see what the big deal is with the photo. Maybe it’s the libertarian in me, but I wasn’t offended by the photo; it’s not as if the ad is depicting a simulated erotic act or anything. If you ask me, the ads for the new Mark Wahlberg film Four Brothers–the ones showing Tyrese Gibson holding a gun in a threatening manner–are far more offensive.
