"Being gay myself, I'm aware of how critical the market and its income are. I've got all that hardwired into me," he says. "There's a predisposition in our community towards luxury goods, so why shouldn't Lexus be among them?"

I'm not sure I really care, but it is pretty weird to see such an openly gay commercial.
It amazes me that people can miss it. It's obvious!
well, so did the "openly gay commercial" give you "funny feelings"
VERY obvious! I taped the vile thing. If you run it backwards, you can see one of the "guys" grab the other "guys" hiney! DISGUSTING! Watch closely....
ROFLMAO!!!!
I don't think I'm either a naif or a bumpkin. It would be counterproductive for them to market to gays in a general venue - I would expect ads specifically aimed at gays in a gay publication or on shows that draw a large gay audience. Judging from the number of freepers who have seen the ads, these are on general interest shows. In any case, it is obvious to many of us that these ads are about two neighbors, each of whom thinks they are getting the car from his or her spouse. Lexus may be marketing to gays, but as far as I can see it's not with these ads.
