Not synonymous, but it is a part of it, and it's something I've noticed in adverts a lot in the last few years. Isn't it also a bit like "Here we see a typical gay, with brightly coloured hair and loads of makeup"?thats not too bad. of course the advertisers know what theyre doing, but queer visibility isnt synonymous with woke capital
Eh, perhaps, but its worth considering that feminine gay men are worthy of their own consideration, essentially an entirely different class from your cis looking gay guy in the eyes of the public. (most?) homophobia now is 'Im fine with gays as long as their not so in my face about'; Im fine with gays that don't act gay style arguments. So the colored hair/make up look feels as concerned with male femininity as it does with general male queerness in regards to representation.Not synonymous, but it is a part of it, and it's something I've noticed in adverts a lot in the last few years.

Even just... three years ago I would have read this and thought "Oh that martin, he is such a wag!"Fortunately Raytheon has now set up RAYBAME and RAYPRIDE divisions so everyone can get involved in missile system production.

Hang you, mean a man and a woman?a few years ago a local shopping centre did a Pride event and promoted it by sharing photos on their social media of the entrance to the mall painted in rainbow stripes, and it being walked on by... a straight-presenting couple holding hands
Yeah, I totally get that. It does sound like a fundamental failure to understand the meaning of the word 'gay'!just really disappointing. The flag isn't the part that's the big deal for us to see!
