White people in pretty houses, doing white people things; like eating and cooking and cleaning and driving and shopping.
And even as a young gayling I knew that wasn't quite right.
Then I saw an ad with a Black people doing Black people things; like eating and cooking and cleaning and driving and shopping.

Baby steps, baby steps but progress all the same. Now if they can get rid of the hairless chested Hollywood models and have real gay guys in the ads then we will really be making progress.
