Smoking Is Gay? What CDC?
The new anti-smoking ad by the CDC is meant to appeal to adolescents. I know a phrase commonly used by adolescents and young adults is "that's gay", however, this is not a very politically correct term. I'm not homosexual but I think this ad is offensive. It singles out a minority group of people. It's like saying "don't drink because drinking is for black people" - maybe that's not the best analogy. But anyways, I this ad could be changed to be equally/more funny/catchy without picking on the gay community. I think our country has come very far to start accepting things like gay marriage, etc., so no need to back track.
