Come as you are

Come as you are
A new McDonald's commercial airing on French TV stations sent the world into a tizzy. The ad features a male teenager, flirting on the phone, while his dad buys hamburgers at the counter. At the end of the commercial, the audience learns the boy is gay (though his dad remains in the dark). As far as we can tell, it's the first McDonald's ad to feature a gay character. Most people in the gay community responded to the ad positively, calling this a step in the right direction. Others, including some gay activists, were less impressed, partly because the young man remains closeted. It won't air in the United States, but you can watch it on Yahoo! Video below so what do you think? is it a step forward? In my opinion it is. I think it's a rather sweet commercial depicting the ignorance of some non gay people and that there's nothing wrong with being gay. They are sweet too and have feelings too towards their same sex and that's how they are and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. what's your take? is it a step forward or not so much?
