21. My point is not that the ad isn't homophobic - I say that it very likely is
And I only use the qualifier "very likely" because, not being GLBT, I don't deem myself the arbiter of these things.

The point is, in attacking the ad as homophobic, do we also not run the risk of labeling all male dancers as gay? That would be stereotyping, any which way you choose it.

For the record however, neither dancer has a "bent wrist" and there is also a dancer covered in dark blue "ribbon" (which does not accurately describe the lines emanating from the ad). As such, I fail to see the code for "gay" as you describe it.
