From the LifeLube Situation Room - THIS JUST IN
So we have photographic evidence of our ads that are being systematically defaced on CTA buses. Yesterday, an agent driving on Lake Shore Drive heading south snapped the below pic with his iPhone. You will notice the red tape expertly covering up the words “gay sexy healthy" that are supposed to be under the LifeLube logo.
Today, the Sun-Times published a piece, "Bus ads promoting healthy gays defaced." There is a rather lively, ignorance/hate heavy, conversation going on there in the comments section. Take a peak and weigh in.

Nice detective work!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Here's what I don't get...
ReplyDeleteWhoever is systematically crossing out "gay. sexy. healthy." has a message (counter-message) I totally don't understand.
A lot of the commentary on the Sun-Times piece is about objecting to this website and the imagery available here, not about those words themselves. But if that were the concern of our serial tapist, (s?)he would be covering over the web address, not the words "gay.sexy. healthy."
It suggests to me that it is probably the work of some frustrated angry gay man who doesn't want us seeing ourselves as healthy, for some reason. Perhaps he's too wound up in "AIDS, Inc." to see the value of promoting the healthy and sexy bits about gay-dom.
Care to reveal yourself, masked masker?
Nice detective work!
ReplyDeleteyeah, I've seen it and I don't like it. The LGBT community is one of the last gruops to be systematically discriminated against.
