Video I love: Old Levi’s Commercial

Once a week, I post a video I’ve seen recently that I’m loving. So here’s this week’s Video I love …

I was talking with a friend the other day about a subject I’ve mentioned on this blog before: the lack of positive gay imagery in US commercials. When gay men and women are shown, they are often depicted as over-the-top stereotypes to get a laugh. That’s why I like this commercial. It’s a sexy gay version of a het Levi’s commercial. I’m not sure on what channels or when this aired, but it’s still nice to look at, and I can appreciate what they were trying to do. Once in awhile I like to tune in to the cable channel Logo just to see commercials that reflect my own life.

What do you think? Are there other commercials you’ve seen recently that do a good job of including gay men or women in a positive way? Comment or send me an email. I’d love to hear from you.

Cheers,
