“Welcome to Gay Britain . . . with our proud gay history, cutting-edge culture and fashion, flamboyant cities and pulsating nightlife, isn’t it time you came out . . . to Britain?


Note: The Times quotes the ad as saying "Welcome to the United Queendom of Great Britain..." Perhaps the copy was changed under pressure. It is, after all, a government web site.

Ugh. They make it sound like sex, culture, and fashion is all there is to being a gay person. *sigh*

It is a site promoting tourism, not profound dialogue :p

The cynic in me wants to agree with the ad.

What would be decried to the ends of the earth if it were satire, is perfectly acceptable as a serious ad campaign?

My point precisely. Sounds just like the jokes working class Irish Americans would tell back in the days.
