Gay “Cruising” Site Squirt.org Tells Trump: ‘Let’s Make America Gay Again’
Now that you have our attention Squirt! Although we are all about billboards with scantily clad men, we are not sure if Trump is going to quite understand the message, coming from a hook-up site of sorts anyway. Perhaps it is worth a try! Edge media writes,
“Gay hookup site Squirt.org is making a statement in support of LGBT rights with a billboard campaign that launched with the inauguration of President Donald Trump. The signs, featuring two guys holding the American flag along with the words “Dear Mr. President, Let’s Make America Gay Again,” appear in Los Angeles and New York City.
The billboards, a play on the Trump’s campaign slogan “Let’s Make America Great Again,” are a part of Squirt.org’s effort to support gay rights as well as to positively encourage Trump and his administration to take LGBT rights seriously. Billboards were placed along Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame in Los Angeles and in New York City’s West Village, Chelsea and surrounding neighborhoods.
“LGBT rights are in question with the incoming Trump administration which has vigorously campaigned to roll back many of the rights that protect these communities. So we say, ‘Let’s make America gay again. Let’s make it happy and inclusive!” said Attila Szatmari, digital business director for Pink Triangle Press, Squirt.org’s parent company.
The billboards are the culmination of much discussion and fear by many in the gay community who are apprehensive about the Trump presidency. Trump’s opposition in 2016 to gay marriage and support for judges who would seek to overturn the Marriage Equality Act that legalized gay unions is one of many points of contention.”
What are your thoughts? Thought provoking? Offensive? Clever? Funny? Silly?
