Facebook Lifts Some Advertising Restrictions

Filed Under Marketing, Social Media | Leave a Comment

While checking on my GayWallet.com ad campaign on Facebook, I saw the following notice:

In an effort to communicate our policies more clearly, we’d like to share some minor adjustments to our Advertising Guidelines. We are lifting the restrictions on some content including quizzes, surveys, some ringtones and other business opportunities. We’ll begin rolling out these changes over the next few days and the official details will be posted to our Advertising Guidelines early next week.

Know what that means? It means you’ll see more and more junk ads on Facebook – including multi-level marketing/pyramid scheme “business opportunities.”

I realize Facebook needs to make money to keep their site up and running, but come on! What’s next? Gambling ads? Webcam whores? Cigarette ads?

Random Gayness That’s So Gay

Filed Under Lesbians, LGBT, Politics | 1 Comment

You can run, but you can’t hide:

A federal judge today denied a request to keep the names of donors to California’s anti-gay marriage initiative secret, saying the public has a right to know who’s giving money to state ballot measures.

Supporters of the initiative, which was approved by voters in November, had sought a preliminary injunction to hide the identities of those who contributed to their campaign.

Hey, if you’re gonna mess with people’s civil liberties, we deserve to know who you are.

Straight white men must be loving this. They finally have something they can sue their employer for:

New York City foreign-currency trader has filed a lawsuit claiming he was harassed and fired because his supervisor believed he was a gay vegetarian.

. . .

Court papers say when Catalanello learned Pacifico didn’t eat meat, he called him “a vegetarian homo.” The papers say Catalanello made a similar comment when he saw a photo of Pacifico in running tights.

Hey, white straight guys need an opportunity to be sue-happy, too.

Finally, somebody hates Katy Perry as much as I do. Who does she think she is? I kiss girls all the time and nobody makes a big deal about it (well, no one except rightwing religious nutcases).

Random thought: if you’re leavin’ your girlfriend because you think you have a chance to hook up with Rachel Maddow, I have a tropical island in Greenland I can sell ya. Call me!

Looks like same-sex couples in Washington State are about to get everything but marriage:

Lawmakers are looking to expand the state’s domestic partnership law and advance the debate on marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples across the state.

State Sen. Ed Murray, D-Seattle, says the first public hearing on an expanded domestic partnership bill would be next week.

The bill is pitched as “everything but marriage” for same-sex couples. It would add domestic partners to all remaining state statutes that deal with married couples, ranging from labor and employment to pensions and other public employee benefits.

I have an idea. Why don’t they call the bill everything but equality? That seems much more appropriate.
