It's Official: The UQ

“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*

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