This is visceral, skip the search, the decoding and go directly to feeling it. Biden’s video includes two seconds of two men kissing that you’ve not seen in any 2 seconds of any government-issued anything before. You might as well just throw a Unicorn mask on the caricatures of gay guys in mainstream shows that are meant to both advertise to a gay audience but keep prime time chaste. 2 Men Kissing in Biden’s Video - An Uncoded Invite To the Group HugĪfter a year of COVID isolation i would rather not have to look for subtle rainbows, equal signs, for the guy with a fauxhawk in the back of a crowd to determine if i’m included in a message or campaign.
